The Epiphone Adam Jones 1979 Les Paul Custom is a meticulously crafted instrument that stands as a tribute to the iconic Tool guitarist’s cherished 1979 Gibson Les Paul. Designed in collaboration with Gibson Custom, this guitar features a solid mahogany body with a maple top, finished in an eye-catching Antique Silverburst. The distinctive three-piece maple neck, shaped to Adam Jones’ custom specifications, and the ebony fretboard ensure smooth playability and precise articulation.
Fitted with a Custombucker in the neck position and a high-output Seymour Duncan Distortion in the bridge, this model delivers a powerful sound palette suitable for a variety of musical styles. The hardware includes Epiphone’s LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, which work in tandem to provide superior intonation and sustain. Additional bespoke elements such as the Gibson open-book headstock with exclusive artwork by Joyce Su, and the inclusion of a unique two-inch convex mirror in the case, make this guitar a collector’s dream and a player’s delight.
Exceptional Craftsmanship
The Epiphone Adam Jones 1979 Les Paul Custom mirrors the meticulous build quality expected from a collaboration with Gibson Custom. Its mahogany body and precisely carved maple top not only offer superior durability but also contribute to the guitar’s outstanding resonance and sustain. 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.
