Epiphone Les Paul Custom Black Beauty 2006 Electric Guitar

Here for sale we have an Epiphone Les Paul Custom 'Black Beauty' Electric Guitar in Ebony finish. Made in China in 2006, this guitar consists of a Mahogany body, a Mahogany neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include a Tune-o-matic bridge, a Stopbar tailpiece, Gold hardware, and Grover tuners. The pickups installed are three Alnico Classic Humbuckers that are wired to two volume controls, two tone controls, and a three-way pickup selector. 

The Mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the 'C' profile filling the hand without being too cumbersome, offering a smooth and articulate playing experience. The Rosewood fingerboard feels luxurious under the fingers and provides a smooth playing surface for the user to explore, along with the 12” radius and Medium Jumbo frets making bending and vibrato techniques a breeze. 

The Epiphone humbucker in the neck position sounds thick and full, with a rich low end great for rhythm tonalities. The Epiphone humbucker in the middle position provides a punchy, tight midrange great for chordal styles of playing whilst being able to cut through a mix. The Epiphone humbucker in the bridge position produces a clear and articulate top end, balancing very well with a punchy output, providing a great feel and clarity, allowing the player to achieve a wide variety of tones all at the fingertips.
