Overview
Multi-platinum-selling and four-time Grammy Award winner Adam Jones, from the band Tool, is one of rock's most talented and sonically innovative guitarists. Now Epiphone has partnered with the Gibson Custom Shop to create a model that pays tribute to what Adam calls "one of my top favorite guitars of all time" - his Silverburst 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom. It has a three-piece maple neck with a custom Adam Jones profile, an ebony fretboard, and a mahogany body with a maple cap. Finished in Antique Silverburst, it also features a Custombucker pickup in the neck position and a Seymour Duncan Distortion in the bridge position, along with CTS potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors. It also has a Gibson "open book" headstock profile and even comes with a replica two-inch convex mirror included in the Deluxe Protector Series hardshell case.

I'm going to start this by saying even if you aren't a Tool fan, this is probably the Les Paul for you if you like to play a bit on the heavier side. This is a wonderful lead guitar, but probably an even better rhythm guitar. The three-piece maple neck is going to be stronger than a mahogany neck. The ebony fretboard is smoother than rosewood (or laurel and pau ferro) and feels as good as a maple board. The actual mother of pearl inlays are incredible to look at. The custombucker in the neck is a wonderful pickup - it's going to be difficult to find a better traditional humbucker. The aesthetics of a silverburst are a sight to behold - the metallic paint dances in the light. The neck plays great - nice and thin, but not an Ibanez. The weight of this model is substantial, but not overbearing. And despite their appearance, the tuners work great, feel great, and the only reason to replace them would be if you prefer locking tuners. The pots turn smoothly without static, and the three-way switch is acceptable. The fretwork is equal to most $3000 guitars out there. The biggest downside to this guitar was the thing I thought I'd like the most, the Duncan Distortion in the bridge. You'll never be able to get a truly clean sound without turning down the volume on the bridge. However, the tone of it when you go to a distorted channel is mesmerizing, and I understand why it's so loved. Playing in the middle position, I found that I typically dislike it on Les Pauls, but on this one, it's…

the most usable I've come across. The case is also really nice - probably one of the best I've had included with a guitar. If you love Tool, this is a far better purchase than the Gibson Adam Jones Standard Les Paul. If you love silverburst Customs, this is the one. I'm really pleased with this purchase.
