Epiphone Adam Jones '79 Les Paul Custom w/Hard Case, Antique Silverburst

Epiphone has a knack for creating custom Les Paul artists models, and the Epiphone Adam Jones Signature Les Paul Custom is no exception. This guitar finds a middle ground for fans of the super limited original 1979 Silverburst Les Paul, and of the iconic band Tool. This collaborative instrument boasts specs hand-selected by Adam Jones, and performance features that make it a good investment for the price point, as well as a unique collector's piece. 

This guitar features a solid mahogany body with a maple veneer cap on its top, with a 7-ply, white binding following the contours of its body and beautifully contrasting its burst color. The neck is cut from three-piece maple, and features a profile only found on this guitar, known as the Adam Jones custom profile, created in collaboration with Epiphone. A GraphTech nut measures at 1.6932", with the total scale length of the guitar coming to 24.75". On the neck, an ebony fingerboard hosts 22 frets, with Mother-of-Pearl Block inlays between them.

This Silverburst beauty not only looks the part, but comes stocked with a Custombucker neck pickup and a reverse-mounted Seymour Duncan Distortion bridge pickup, that work together to offer a versatile tonal palette that Adam Jones himself harnesses in his performances. The control configuration includes two volume controls, two tone controls, with CTS pots and Orange Drop caps.

Hardware is not an afterthought on this model, either, with an Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and LockTone StopBar tailpiece allowing precise intonation adjustment and sustain enhancement. Nickel-plated tuners also grace the top of the headstock and offer smooth, functional tuning as well as a touch of sophistication to the guitar's over vibe. 

Finished in gorgeous Antique Silverburst, this Les Paul offers a take on a short-run finish that has a unique history among Les Paul lovers. The original 1979 version of this guitar is notorious for turning into more of a gold burst after it's aged a bit, and this Adam Jones Les Paul showcases what the finish looks like brand new: a deep silver transitioning to a black in an almost teardrop shaped pattern. Lacking the custom artwork found on other recent versions of this guitar, it does still feature a custom graphic on the rear of its headstock, further cementing its place as a one-of-a-kind variant of an iconic instrument.

This guitar comes with a custom Epiphone hardshell case.
