The Epiphone Les Paul Custom Blackback is a limited-edition electric guitar that pays homage to the iconic 1950s classic while embracing a modern all-black design. Brought to you by Epiphone as part of their "Inspired by Gibson" collection, this Les Paul model features a traditional mahogany body and ebony fingerboard to deliver the authentic tone and feel that has made the Les Paul a legend. This Blackback gives players a chance to experience the Les Paul in a bold new way.

All-Black Design Makes a Bold Statement

With its slick black finish, gold hardware and black pickguard, the Blackback's edgy appearance reflects the rebellious spirit of rock and roll. Its all-black construction gives this signature model a custom look while highlighting classic Les Paul details like the carved top, multi-ply binding and block inlays. Combined with Epiphone's exceptional build quality and attention to detail, the Blackback's one-of-a-kind style makes a statement that's sure to turn heads.

ProBucker Pickups Deliver Iconic Tone

The Blackback is equipped with Epiphone's ProBucker pickups, which provide the warm, driving tone that has defined the Les Paul sound for over 60 years. The ProBucker 2 in the neck position produces full, rich tones with balanced output, while the ProBucker 3 bridge pickup delivers a hot, distorted sound perfect for rock leads and power chords. With standard volume and tone controls for each pickup, players have full control over a wide range of vintage and modern tones.

Premium Appointments Offer Exceptional Playability

It features a mahogany neck with a comfortable SlimTaper profile, a 24.75" scale length and 22 medium frets. A Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece provide rock-solid tuning stability and sustain. Premium Grover tuners with an 18:1 gear ratio ensure quick, accurate tuning. Combined with its lightweight, balanced body, the Blackback's premium appointments make it a joy to play.
