Epiphone Les Paul Custom 2020 - Present - Ebony

This one has that unmistakable blacked-out Les Paul Custom presence — classy, sharp, and a little mean in the best way. The ebony finish, multi-ply binding, gold hardware, dark pickguard, and split-diamond style headstock give it the kind of stage-ready look that never really goes out of style. It has that dressed-up Custom vibe without feeling overdone, and in person it has a really clean, sleek look that presents extremely well.

It’s in excellent, near-new condition overall. Aside from some very light wall hanger rub, this one is exceptionally clean. The body looks great, the neck is straight, the frets are excellent, the electronics test perfectly, and it’s currently playing and sounding fantastic. At 8.82 pounds on my scale, it has a solid Les Paul feel without being a boat anchor.

Tonally, this one does exactly what you hope a Les Paul Custom-style guitar will do. It has a thick, punchy humbucker voice with plenty of sustain, but it still stays clear enough to handle cleaner playing and lower-gain work. Push it into gain and it gets into that full, aggressive Les Paul territory really easily — big chords, singing leads, and that heavier midrange character these guitars are loved for.

What stood out to me:

• The ebony finish with gold hardware has a killer high-end look
• Excellent, near-new overall condition with only light wall hanger rub
• Frets are excellent and the neck is straight
• Recent setup, spot-on intonation, and great playability
• Stock pickups/electronics with a strong, punchy Les Paul voice
• 8.82 pounds on my scale — solid and resonant without feeling excessive

Like all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play. I personally inspect and test every guitar before it ships, making sure it’s in the exact condition I’d want to receive myself. These guitars come from me, not a shop—each one gets the kind of attention and care only a real guitar lover gives. Ships fast and fully insured via Reverb Safe Shipping.

⏳ Quick note
These guitars don’t usually sit. Most are purchased within 1–5 days, and I regularly hear from watchers after the listing has already sold. If this one’s on your radar, now’s the window!
