Epiphone Les Paul Custom 2020

[UnderTheFlame83]

Anyone own a Epiphone Les Paul Custom?

I ordered one in Alpine White and cannot wait to get my hands on it later this week. I have been wanting a Custom Les Paul (Gibson) for 25 years or so and finally decided to pull the trigger on one after so long. Can't afford the Gibson, so Epiphone it is. I really like the 2020 version with the new (old) headstock and the CTS pots with ebony fingerboard. Grover tuners. Beautiful gold hardware. And the pickups in them now are really great too from what I hear.

I have a Black Epiphone Elitist Custom. It looks like the pickups, electronics and hardware are now equivalent to the Elitist. That should be a solid player. I did swap the pickups out in mine for P-Rails only because I wanted P-90's in a LP.

The new Epiphones are excellent values. I've picked up a few at different stores. Made a grave mistake of plugging in a Goldtop Standard. Holy crap, did it play and sound fantastic. I was floored. It felt really solid. Now I want one. But if I'm gonna get a Goldtop, I want a Gibson. That's what I've had my eyes on for a long time.

It came a few hours ago and I am in love. I haven't took the plastic off or changed strings to what I usually use yet or cleaned her up, but its amazing! Perfectly setup with great action, no frets buzz, and the frets are smooth. It's been years since I had owned a guitar with an ebony fretboard. So smooth. And the pickups are amazing! Easily the best playing and sounding Epiphone I have ever played. The headstock looks even better in person. Well worth the money!

Why? You gonna put it down????

Sweet axe! Based on the electronics description it does sound like the Elites, which, idiot Gibson had to stop making because they were every bit as good as a Gibson with Better QA.

I love how white it is. How does it compare to your other guitars?

Well, I am up to 19 guitars now and its already in my top 3! My other 2003 Korean Epiphone Les Paul Classic with Dirty Fingers is curently my favorite, but that can soon change with this Custom. The binding isn't perfect in some spots. You have to look really close up to see the factory flaws and there isn't very many. A few tool marks... BUT the playability is unreal. Great guitar and it isn't really heavy like I thought it was going to be.

Nice to hear current Epis are keeping the bar high.
