Epiphone Les Paul Custom Ebony 3 Pickup 2011 with hard shell case

No sales tax for customers outside California.

This 2011 Epiphone Les Paul Custom in Ebony features the rare three-humbucker configuration, paying tribute to the iconic ’70s “Black Beauty” style. With a mahogany body, maple top, and set mahogany neck, it delivers rich sustain, punchy midrange, and classic Les Paul weight and resonance. The ebony gloss finish, gold hardware, block inlays, and multi-ply binding make this model look every bit as luxurious as its Gibson counterpart.

Equipped with three Epiphone Alnico Classic humbuckers, this guitar offers expanded tonal versatility—perfect for rock, blues, and modern worship tones. The middle pickup adds unique blended tones when combined with the bridge or neck positions, while the SlimTaper neck profile and bound rosewood fingerboard make it comfortable for both rhythm and lead playing.

This example is in nearly new condition with minimal signs of handling.  The frets look unplayed. There is room in the truss rod for future neck relief adjustments and it plays perfectly.  We're always amazed that these guitars leave the factory needing so much attention - then they leave a music shop or big retailer with the same setup.  We often have to tighten all the screws and tighten down the tuner bushings, level out nut slots, adjust intonation, etc. We take the time to get them playing right.  

The guitar comes with a non-original hard shell case for safe transport and storage.

At Mahar’s Vintage Guitars, every guitar is inspected, professionally set up, and photographed accurately. We buy and accept trades on vintage and modern instruments. Explore our Gibson Guitars Collection, Vintage Fender Guitars, or visit our Sell or Trade Your Gear page.
