This model features a stunning Antique Silverburst finish that enhances its visual allure, making it a standout piece both on stage and off.

Distinctive Tonewood Combination

Utilising a combination of mahogany for the body and maple for both the top and the neck, this guitar offers a rich and full-bodied sound profile. The ebony fretboard is a hallmark of premium instruments and adds a crisp articulation to each note, making it ideal for complex riffs and solos that require exceptional clarity and responsiveness.

Customised Pickup Configuration

The Epiphone Adam Jones 1979 Les Paul Custom is equipped with a Gibson Custombucker in the neck position and a Seymour Duncan Distortion pickup in the bridge. This setup ensures a wide range of tonal possibilities, from warm, nuanced cleans to aggressive, high-gain output. Tailored for versatility, it can adeptly handle anything from deep blues to hard rock and heavy metal.

Signature Aesthetic Touches

This model doesn’t just sound distinctive—it looks the part too. The headstock bears the classic Gibson “open book” design, customized with unique artwork by Joyce Su and Adam Jones, which adds a personal touch from the legendary guitarist himself. Accompanied by a deluxe Protector Series hardshell case, which includes a two-inch convex mirror, this guitar pays homage to Jones’ innovative stage setups and personal style preferences.
