Matt Heafy

A modern metal icon. Heafy is best known as the lead singer and guitarist of Trivium, a band that's won countless awards and accolades for their energetic and pulsing metal sound. At the heart of it are Heafy's powerful riffs and exceptional licks that fuel each of their tracks. And now Epiphone have produced a guitar worthy of the metal maestro, with all the features and components to bring out his personal style and sound.

The fury of custom Fishman pickups

Versatile tonal excellence. Fishman are renowned for their multi-voiced pickups - and for good reason! Equipped with these, your sonic options multiply enormously. And that's because each pickup has three distinct tones to choose from. At the neck is a high output, alnico powered humbucker. Through this you can achieve a typical, crunchy humbucker voice, a crisper, cleaner and more rhythmic cadence, and finally a scooped, twang-rich single coil sound.

But if you ever need to cut through a mix, then look no further than the ceramic bridge pickup. Offering a choice of modern, high output, active ceramic tones, high-output passive ceramic tones and a searing hot, overwound single coil texture, it'll voice everything with a razor sharp edge.

Sleek and swift playability

Unleash those Heafy riffs. Presented with a sleek shaped neck and a super smooth ebony fretboard, you'll be able to play at Matt's incredible pace. This frictionless fretboard is mounted with 22 medium jumbo sized frets in order to make wild string bends easy to execute, and provide a fast, quick action to the strings. Finished with Heafy's custom block inlays, it looks the part, and it certainly plays the part too!

Heafy style hardware

Designed to meet the demanding performance requirements of Heafy, this signature Les Paul boasts a clear and reliable performance from its specially selected hardware. Firstly, a Graph Tech nut pairs with a LockTone TOM bridge and stop bar tailpiece to provide immaculate articulation and a ringing sustain to each note. These team up with a set of locking Grover tuners to ensure you'll enjoy superb stability throughout an entire set.

What's more, this gold-coloured hardware sits on a weight-relieved mahogany body, meaning you'll get a light, nimble feel that'll have you playing for hours on end. Completed with two gold PosiLock strap buttons so that you can keep a secure hold of the guitar during energetic, full-throttle shows, and a custom hardshell case to keep it protected, this is truly an instrument fit for Heafy himself.
