Modern Les Paul Custom for Metal
The Epiphone Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins Ebony marks the third signature model in the successful collaboration between Epiphone and the frontman of the metal institution from Florida. Based on the classic LP Custom design, the electric guitar convinces not only with a timelessly elegant look, but also with playing and sound characteristics optimally tailored to modern metal. While the Modern Weight relief and the fast "SpeedTaper D" neck promise first-class handling, the voicings of the active Fishman Fluence Custom Series Matt Heafy pickups provide a rich spectrum of classic and modern metal sounds. High quality Hardware in the form of a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge with matching Stopbar and tuning stable Grover Locking tuners completes the Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins Ebony from Epiphone.
The Epiphone Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins Ebony combines traditional looks with modern playing characteristics and premium metal tones.
The Axcess Heel makes the "SpeedTaper D" neck of the Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom easy to play up to the highest registers.
Classic Style and modern handling
When designing the Les Paul Customs Origins, Matt Heafy and Epiphone paid special attention to the ideal combination of the traditional "Tuxedo Look" and a handling perfectly tailored to the playing techniques of modern metal. While the Modern Weight relief of the mahogany body makes it much easier to contest long and action-packed shows, the Axcess Heel on the back allows unhindered access to the highest registers. The flat "SpeedTaper D" profile of the glued mahogany neck also promises comfortable playing characteristics, so that on the 22-fret ebony fingerboard every complex riff and solo succeeds with ease.
The volume and tone controls on the Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins feature push/pull switches for changing the voicing of the Fishman Fluence pickups.
Fishman Matt Heafy pickups

The Fishman Fluence Custom Series Matt Heafy humbucker on the bridge, equipped with ceramic magnets, accordingly stands for a Modern Active sound with maximum Output and tight response even with drop tunings and high distortion, or for an extremely powerful sound with the organic Attack of passive pickups. The Fluence Custom Series Matt Heafy Alnico neck pickup, on the other hand, delivers a full and finely articulated sound in Modern Active mode, while the second crisp voicing provides the perfect foundation for fluid soloing. For both Fishman Fluence Matt Heafy humbuckers a single-coil vo icing is also available for glassy pearly tones.
