Overview

This signature model was designed in partnership with Trivium's extraordinarily talented Matt Heafy. It features a pair of custom-voiced Fishman Fluence pickups, each of which delivers three distinct tones.

The Alnico neck pickup provides a modern, active, high-output Alnico humbucker sound, a crisp, clean, and fluid neck humbucker sound; and a glassy, scooped, hi-fi single-coil sound. The ceramic bridge pickup offers a choice of modern, active, high-output ceramic-humbucker tone; high-output, passive ceramic-humbucker tone; and a cutting, overwound single-coil tone. Push-pull volume and tone pots put all these incredible sounds right at your fingertips, and make it easy to explore the expansive sonic palette this guitar offers.

Watch as Matt Heafy gives you the lowdown on his signature Epiphone Les Pauls:

The maple-capped mahogany body has modern weight relief for hours of comfortable play, and the mahogany neck has a fast-playing SpeedTaper D profile and a contoured heel for exceptional upper-fret access. Gold hardware, including locking Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners with Tulip buttons, and classic Les Paul Custom cosmetics make this a standout guitar on stage. Available in Ebony and Bone White gloss finishes in both right and left-handed configurations. A custom hardshell case is included.

I'm a touring musician full-time and have and been through maybe around 50 Gibson Les Pauls. I got this guitar out of curiosity because I wanted to try a 7-string out with a body shape I know and love. That being said, I'm completely impressed by the quality of this guitar. Epiphone has come a LONG LONG way and with the help of Matt Heafy, made an extraordinary guitar. This is my only Epiphone that I'm keeping in my collection. The neck feels solid and shreddy. The looks are to die for. The ONLY thing I'd change are the PUPS because I'm not a fan of active but that is very objective. They are great PUPS just not for me personally. Overall, I am very satisfied with this guitar and the price point. It feels easily like a $2k-2.2k Gibson.
