Epiphone's Inspired by Gibson Collection just wouldn't be complete without the Les Paul Custom. Dating all the way back to 1954, the Custom was design by Les Paul to be the "tuxedo" version of the classic. It looks every bit as good now as it did then with the Custom style mahogany body and beautiful ebony fingerboard. The 5 ply binding found on both the body and the headstock adds to the lavish aesthetics.
