Description
Epiphone has partnered up with the Gibson Custom Shop to create the latest Adam Jones 1979 Silverburst Les Paul Custom. You’ll notice the Gibson-style headstock, Gibson Custombucker Reverse mounted neck pickup, Seymour Duncan Distortion bridge pickup, and Graph Tech nut, just to name a few upgraded features on this signature instrument.
Adam Jones Tone
Built to Jones’ specification, the reversed-mounted Custombucker produces a clean, boxy tone that is distinctive from other Gibson Custombuckers, giving you that famous Tool tone. The Seymour Duncan Distortion you might notice features on other Adam Jones signature instruments, this humbucker is a staple of his signature sound, giving you heavy lead soundscapes that will cut through any mix without a muddy frequency.
A Comfortable Tool
The Adam Jones Custom neck profile is an exact replication of his 1979 Les Paul Custom, giving you an accurate feel. Thin and narrow at the nut, and gradually thicker towards the 12th fret, this compound-style neck shape is very comfortable and dynamic in your hand.
