More about the Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins 7-String, seen here in Ebony.

Epiphone is proud to introduce the Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins 7-String signature model designed in partnership with Trivium’s extraordinarily talented Matt Heafy. This guitar features a pair of custom-voiced Fishman Fluence® pickups, each of which delivers three distinct tones for complete tonal versatility. The Alnico neck pickup provides a modern, active, high-output Alnico humbucker™ sound, a crisp, clean, and fluid neck humbucker sound, and a glassy, scooped, hi-fi single-coil sound. The ceramic bridge pickup offers a choice of modern, active, high-output ceramic-humbucker tone, high-output, passive ceramic-humbucker tone, and a cutting, overwound single-coil tone.

Push-pull volume and tone pots put all these incredible sounds right at your fingertips and make it easy to explore the expansive sonic palette this guitar offers. The maple-capped mahogany body has Modern weight relief for hours of comfortable play, and the mahogany neck has a fast-playing SpeedTaper™ D profile and a contoured heel for exceptional upper-fret access. Gold hardware, including locking Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners with Tulip buttons and classic Les Paul Custom cosmetics, make this a standout guitar on stage.

Available in Ebony and Bone White gloss finishes in both right and left-handed configurations as well as 6-string versions. A custom hardshell case is included to keep your guitar safe in transit and on the way to practice!

Thanks to Doug for the incredible track!
