The Gibson Les Paul™ remains one of the most celebrated electric guitars in history, embraced by countless artists across genres for decades. Epiphone proudly introduces the Futura Les Paul Custom—a modern evolution of this iconic design, packed with innovative features for Les Paul enthusiasts everywhere. Its mahogany body incorporates Ultra Modern weight relief for reduced weight without sacrificing sustain or resonance.

Instead of the standard maple top, this Independent Dealer Exclusive model is topped with a AAAA Figured Maple cap that adds stunning wood grain and brightness to the warm midrange for that classic Les Paul tonal balance. Seven-ply binding adorns the top, while a Modern Contoured Heel ensures smooth access to upper frets.

Hardware includes a LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece for rock-solid intonation and sustain, plus Posi-Lok™ strap buttons for secure performance. The glued-in mahogany neck features a long tenon and a fast-playing Modern C profile, paired with a bound ebony fingerboard boasting 22 stainless steel medium jumbo frets, elegant Super 400-style pearloid split block inlays, and a 10”-14” compound radius for effortless chords and bends. The bound Kalamazoo headstock is fitted with locking Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, a Graph Tech® nut, and showcases the Epiphone logo alongside the Custom split diamond inlay in mother-of-pearl. Powering the Futura Les Paul Custom are Epiphone’s new ProBucker™ Ignite humbuckers™, delivering high-output punch with clarity. Push/pull controls unlock coil-splitting and phase options for expanded tonal flexibility.

Replacing the Chromashift finish typically found in this series is a transparent Rally Red finish with a white racing stripe designed to turn heads on stage or on screen. Whether you need a feature-rich instrument for recording, performing, or creating content, the Futura Les Paul Custom is ready to inspire. Each one ships with a premium gig bag, so it’s prepared to go wherever your music takes you.
