ProBucker Pickups
As pickup for the Les Paul CustomEbony Epiphone chooses a Set of the popular ProBucker pickups, which carry the tonal genes of the legendary PAF-Humbucker. While the Epiphone ProBucker-2 in neck position delivers a full sound for soulful cleans and singing Overdrive, the more powerful ProBucker-3 at the bridge elicits punchy gain tones from the guitar amp, ideal for driving riffs and searing solos. In addition to the 3-way pickup selector switch, the electric guitar holds dedicated volume and tone pots for each pickup, allowing precise adjustment of the guitar's sound.
Gold-plated Grover Rotomatics keep the Epiphone Les Paul Custom securely in the correct tuning.

Last but not least, Epiphone completes the Les Paul CustomEbony with high-quality add-on parts, whose golden finish supports the elegant look. From the LockTone tailpiece, the strings are fed over the LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge, which is held firmly on the screw pins by spring clips. With generous adjustments, the bridge also guarantees accurate intonation and comfortable string action even when using low tunings and powerful string sets. On the beautiful Kalamazoo-style headstock, a GraphTech NuBone nut and Grover Rotomatic tuners also promise precise and robust tuning of the electric guitar.

First of all I'm a MusicStore customer from some time, and I purchased few guitars from them and a lot of accessories. As always everything went great. Secured package with guitar was delivered to me very fast.
About the guitar I can say only good things. First of all it's a beautifull piece of wood. Even if you don't play the guitar you can keep it in your leaving room as an art exposition ;) But if it's not the case, I can promise to you that this guitar will be asking for playing each time you look at it.
Besides it's very good sounding guitar. Sounds very nice with clean tones but even better with dirty tones. After small regulations of bridge humbucker height I get the sound that I was looking for.
Because it's a Les Paul it's heavy (about 4.2kg). But with good wide strap it's not a problem. The sustain of the sound is long as it should be. I've tested it on my Kemper Stage and BOSS GT-1000 CORE, and in both cases the guitar sounds classy.
Overall for that maney you can get really nice looking, easy in use and with variety of tones guitar. No cons.
