Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Custom Blackback, Antique Ivory

Full Description

Bold Design With Vintage Elegance

The Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Custom Blackback is a standout blend of classic style and modern attitude. While it retains the timeless single-cutaway shape and elegant multi-ply binding of the original 1950s Les Paul Custom, this special edition adds a bold blacked-out back that gives it a sleek, contemporary edge. The antique ivory finish contrasts beautifully with gold hardware, creating a sophisticated yet aggressive aesthetic. Combined with the pearloid block inlays on an ebony fingerboard, this guitar exudes the premium feel that made the Les Paul Custom a legend.

ProBucker Pickups For Legendary Tone

Equipped with a set of Epiphone ProBucker pickups, this guitar delivers the rich, dynamic sound that defines the Les Paul. The ProBucker 2 in the neck position produces warm, rounded tones perfect for smooth leads and articulate rhythm playing. Meanwhile, the ProBucker 3 in the bridge offers higher output and a sharper edge, making it ideal for soaring solos and punchy riffs. Push/pull coil-splitting adds further tonal versatility, allowing you to switch between full humbucker power and crisp single-coil clarity. From vintage warmth to modern bite, the Blackback delivers.

Smooth Playability With Premium Feel

Built for both comfort and performance, this Les Paul Custom features a mahogany neck with a SlimTaper profile, ensuring a fast, effortless playing experience. The ebony fingerboard not only enhances the guitar’s premium look but also provides a smooth, responsive feel under your fingers. With a 24.75” scale length and 22 medium frets, this guitar maintains the classic Les Paul dimensions that have made it a favourite among rock, blues, and jazz players alike. Whether you're crafting intricate solos or laying down powerful chords, the Blackback offers a comfortable, fluid playing experience.

Rock-Solid Tuning Stability And Sustain

The Blackback is built for reliable performance, with hardware designed to enhance tuning stability and sustain. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece ensure a secure connection between the strings and body, maximising sustain and resonance. Grover tuners with an 18:1 gear ratio provide precise tuning adjustments, so you can stay in tune through long sessions and intense performances. From subtle bends to heavy power chords, this Les Paul holds its tuning while delivering the rich, full-bodied sustain that makes it a rock and roll icon.
