Up for sale, a 2025 Epiphone IGC Les Paul Custom in mint condition, complete with the original hardshell case. Not to be confused with lesser Epiphone offerings, the IGC (Inspired by Gibson Custom) series represent the peak of current Epi offerings, crafted in direct collaboration with Gibson and hand-wired with USA-made electronics. This Les Paul Custom “Black Beauty” delivers the goods with a Modern Medium C neck profile, Gibson’s 490R/498T humbuckers, and a gloss Ebony “Vintage Gloss” finish accented by gold hardware.

Traditional tonewoods include a mahogany body with a maple cap and a one-piece mahogany neck topped with a bound ebony fingerboard, and this IGC Les Paul Custom is lightweight for an LP-style guitar at 8lbs 9oz. At the heart of this Les Paul Custom are a pair of USA-made 490R and 498T humbuckers: these pickups have a wide tonal palette, with the Alnico II magnets in the neck pickup offering more chime and warmth, while the Alnico V bridge pickup cuts through with classic Gibson roar. This IGC Les Paul Custom has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
