The Elitist Custom Just Might Be the Les Paul of Your Dreams! As with all Elitist Epiphones, the Les Paul Custom is made with premium woods and excellent construction methods - the guitar feels absolutely seamless. The double-bound body is made from two pieces of African mahogany, with a bright cap of book-matched maple. The 24-karat gold hardware includes a Tune-O-Matic bridge, skirted strap buttons and large Grover tuners. Two 24-karat gold-covered humbuckers made by Gibson especially for the Elitist Series generate the magnetic amplification for this exemplary Les Paul. Control comes via a standard three-way toggle and individual volume and tone pots. The beefy 24.75-inch scale neck is made from a single piece of African mahogany and features a rosewood board with a 1.68-inch nut, a 12-inch radius, block inlays and full binding. This Elitist beauty may just knock your dream Les Paul into second place. The Elitist Les Paul Custom Wood At the heart of every great instrument is the wood itself. That's why every piece of wood used in the Elitist Les Paul Custom line is hand-selected. It is then slowly and painstakingly dried to perfection in custom kilns until it is at the ideal moisture content. The Elitist Les Paul Custom features book-matched African mahogany back and sides and a book-matched maple top. The Elitist Les Paul Custom Neck All Elitist necks are cut at a 14o grain orientation from one piece of wood for optimum strength, stability and tonal response. As with all great instruments, the necks are then carefully and individually fitted to the body using a hand-glued, dovetail neck joint. The Elitist Les Paul Custom has a 22 fret, 1-piece mahogany set neck with a rosewood fingerboard, which imparts a warmer midrange sound. The Elitist Pickups All Elitist instruments are equipped with custom-wound pickups "Made in the USA" exclusively for Epiphone by Gibson Musical Instruments and feature such uncompromising features as: - High Quality Cover Materials - All pickup covers use quality German silver with vintage Nickel or real 24K Gold finish. - Vintage Braided, Shielded Wire - For authentic vintage look and tone with no noise. - Full Wax Potting - Every pickup is potted in a special wax bath to insure that microphonic feedback due to internal vibration is eliminated. All covered models receive a second wax bath to further protect the pickup. - Specially Made Magnets - All magnets are magnetized by Gibson to ensure the total reliability of each magnet's performance. Critical magnetic flux is maintained for the perfect combination of output without sacrificing tonal characteristics. The Elitist Hardware All Elitist instruments feature the finest hardware including precision Grover machine heads for precise tuning accuracy and stability. The Art is in the Elitist Details The Epiphone Elitist Les Paul Custom's appointments are nothing but the finest including real abalone and pearl Inlays, bone nuts and saddles, hand-rubbed finishes, USA strings, and it goes through a meticulous adjustment and set-up.
