Epiphone Adam Jones 1979 Les Paul Custom Guitar, Gibson USA & Seymour Duncan Pickups, Antique Silverburst
Epiphone and Gibson Custom Partner to Recreate Adam’s 1979 Silverburst Les Paul Custom
Multi-platinum-selling and four-time Grammy Award® winner Adam Jones, from the band Tool, is one of rock’s most talented and sonically innovative guitarists. Now Epiphone has partnered with Gibson Custom to create a new model that pays tribute to what Adam calls “one of my top favorite guitars of all time” - his Silverburst 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom. It has a three-piece maple neck with a custom Adam Jones profile, an ebony fretboard, and a mahogany body with a maple cap. Finished in Antique Silverburst, it also features a Custombucker pickup in the neck position and a Seymour Duncan® Distortion® in the bridge position, along with CTS® potentiometers and Orange Drop® capacitors. It also has a Gibson “open book” headstock profile with custom artwork on the headstock's rear that was designed by Joyce Su and Adam Jones, and even comes with a replica two-inch convex mirror included in the Deluxe Protector Series hardshell case.
