Epiphone Les Paul Custom Blackback PRO 2014 - 2019 - Antique Ivory

This one’s special — and I don’t say that lightly.

I have several Les Pauls listed right now, including guitars that cost five times the price of this one, and none of them get this claim: this is, without question, the best sounding and best playing Les Paul I currently own. If you’re checking my other listings, you won’t see that said anywhere else — because it wouldn’t be true.

The Antique Ivory finish on this Blackback PRO is absolutely gorgeous in person — creamy, rich, and perfectly contrasted by the black back and binding. Paired with the gold hardware, it has that unmistakable Custom-class presence that just feels right the moment you open the case.

This guitar is loaded with Slash Seymour Duncan pickups, and they absolutely scream. Thick, vocal mids, punchy lows, and a top end that cuts without ever getting harsh. Whether you’re digging into classic rock leads or pushing an amp into full roar, this thing delivers in a way that’s hard to put down.

Playability is where it really seals the deal. The setup is spot on, the neck feels effortless, and it just wants to be played. Every note rings clean, bends feel smooth and controlled, and it has that rare “alive” feeling you usually only find when everything lines up just right.

Condition-wise, it’s in excellent shape overall. There are a few light surface scratches along the side of the body, purely cosmetic and only noticeable under the right light — nothing through the finish, nothing structural, and nothing that affects playability in any way.

Comes with a gig bag.

And full transparency: I genuinely don’t mind if this one doesn’t sell. It’s that good. If it stays, I’ll happily keep playing it.

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 insured.

⏳ Quick note

These guitars don’t usually sit. Most are purchased within 3–7 days, and I regularly hear from watchers after the listing has already sold. If this one’s on your radar, now’s the window!
