The Iconic Les Paul in Formal Attire

The Epiphone Les Paul™ Custom has been updated and is now better than ever. Part of the Inspired by Gibson™ Collection, it honors the 1950s-era classic that was designed by Mr. Les Paul himself in 1954 as the “tuxedo” version of his groundbreaking solidbody masterpiece. It features an all-mahogany body (with a figured maple veneer top on the Heritage Cherry Sunburst version), a mahogany neck with a refined Modern Medium C neck profile, an ebony fretboard with pearloid block inlays and medium jumbo frets, gold hardware, including a gold Epiphone LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece, a pair of Epiphone’s new Probucker™ Custom humbucker™ pickups, which are based on Gibson Custom’s Custombucker humbucking pickups, and a larger Custom split-diamond inlay on the headstock. This Epiphone Inspired by Gibson model also has the 60s style Kalamazoo headstock, a Graph Tech® nut, era-appropriate wiring, and CTS® potentiometers. An Epiphone premium gig bag is now included to help keep your guitar safe when not in use and when traveling.

About Epiphone

About Epiphone

Epiphone is an American musical instrument brand. It traces its roots to a musical instrument manufacturing business founded in 1873 by Anastasios Stathopoulos in Smyrna, Ottoman Empire and moved to New York City in 1908. After taking over his father's business, Epaminondas Stathopoulos named the company "Epiphone" as a combination of his own nickname "Epi" and the suffix "-phone" in 1928, the same year it began making guitars.

In 1957, Epiphone, Inc. was purchased by Gibson, it's main rival in the archtop guitar market at the time. Gibson relocated Epiphone's manufacturing operation from its original Queens, New York factory to Gibson's Kalamazoo, Michigan factory. Over time, as Gibson moved its own manufacturing operations to other facilities, Epiphone followed suit; Gibson has also subcontracted the construction of Epiphone products to various facilities in the US and internationally.

Today, Epiphone is still used as a brand for the Gibson company, both for budget models of other Gibson-branded products and for several Epiphone-exclusive models. Aside from guitars, Epiphone has also made double basses, banjos, and other string instruments, as well as amplifiers.

Epiphone Hummingbird Pro Acoustic/Electric – EEHBFCNH

$669.00

A country/rock classic plugs in The Epiphone Hummingbird PRO Acoustic/Electric guitar brings the legendary country/rock "Hummingbird" into the 21st century with the new Shadow™ ePerformer™ preamp and Shadow NanoFlex™ pickup system. First introduced in 1960, the square shouldered Hummingbird quickly became a classic thanks to Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones, who used a Hummingbird for rhythm on early Stones hits like "Satisfaction," "Play With Fire," and "Under My Thumb." There are also many classic photographs of Keith using a Hummingbird on sessions for Exile on Main Street, Goat’s Head Soup, and Sticky Fingers. Today, the Hummingbird is still a go-to acoustic for rockers like Noel Gallagher, Sheryl Crow, and Kid Rock when they need a rhythm guitar with smooth action and superb “woody” tone that’s full of character. On its own, the Hummingbird PRO Acoustic/Electric can drive an all-acoustic band or be front and center at a picking party with its sweet, balanced tone. Now with the Shadow™ ePerformer™ preamp and Shadow NanoFlex™ pickup system, The Hummingbird PRO can plug-in and hold its own on any size stage.
