Description
The Gibson Les Paul Custom P-90 limited-edition electric guitar injects new life into a timeless classic. With its bound mahogany body and maple top, it carries the iconic Les Paul tone and sustain that has shaped rock and blues for decades. The '60s SlimTaper neck profile paired with an ebony fingerboard makes playing effortlessly smooth. Critically acclaimed P-90 pickups serve up growling midrange and singing highs, evoking the vintage-hot tone that defined rock's early days. With a LockTone bridge and tailpiece, tuning stability is rock solid. Plug in and let your playing take flight with the Les Paul Custom P-90.
Bound Mahogany Body and Maple Top Provide Legendary Les Paul Sustain and Tone
The Les Paul Custom P-90 starts with a foundation of resonant mahogany, topped with maple for enhanced clarity and sustain. Just like the original 1950s Les Pauls played by legends, its gloss finish lets the wood ring to its full potential. The classic binding along the body and neck looks stunning, while also preventing picking-hand abrasion. When you pick up the Les Paul Custom P-90, its comfortable weight feels substantial in your hands, promising thick, singing tone as soon as you strum your first chord.
'60s SlimTaper Neck Profile and Ebony Fingerboard Enable Smooth Lead Work
Shredding lightning-fast solos is effortless along the Les Paul Custom P-90's '60s SlimTaper neck profile. Its smooth, rounded contours invite your hand to fly up and down the neck with ease. The ebony fingerboard enhances note articulation while resisting wear over years of intense playing. Medium-jumbo frets are neatly finished for fluid bending and vibrato techniques. Whether you're playing bluesy licks or wailing metal riffs, the Les Paul Custom P-90 empowers your creativity through its slick playability.
P-90 Pickups Summon Vintage-Hot Rock and Blues Tone
The Les Paul Custom P-90 comes loaded with two P-90 pickups, which were hot-rodded in the 1950s to keep up with the demands of early rock and roll. Their sharp attack and singing sustain add vintage flavor that stands out in a mix. When you engage both pickups, the tone is thick and aggressive, perfect for overdriven blues solos. Flip to just the bridge pickup for a punchy twang that cuts through a live band. Dial back the volume for glassy cleans with chime. However you use them, these period-correct P-90s authentically capture a seminal era in guitar tone.
LockTone Bridge and Tailpiece Keep the Les Paul Custom P-90 in Tune
No matter how hard you dig in or bend notes, the Les Paul Custom P-90 won't go out of tune thanks to its stable LockTone bridge and tailpiece. Epiphone Deluxe tuners also enhance the look at tuning stability of this timeless guitar. When you want classic Les Paul mojo with modern playability, plug into the Gibson Les Paul Custom P-90.

I picked this up at my local guitar center. Binding, fit finish perfect. adjusted the pickups a bit and the action is a skosh high but not worth messing with. Pickups are broad in spectrum and as advertised will be a bit on the high end. One of the only guitars where the tone controls matter. does have a little bite on the fret edges, easily addressed. intonation spot on. tuners? eh.. kluxon type, not bad. The neck is what freaks me out. I have broad hands and not long fingers. this neck is the biggest Ive ever played on any guitar. I like it. Gives your thumb something to push against for bends and whatnot. There is a learning curve (which I like). Its also very good looking for a finger print covered black guitar ;) Recommend a Van's inspired neck strap, black and white checkers. The standard les paul case is too small for this beast by the way. be sure to try a case out before you buy.
Beautiful guitar inspired me to go buy more equipment

I own many Gibson LP's and quite frankly have been a total snob towards Epi's until recently. I started giving them a shot after the Ghosthorse i got was so incredible. My main go to was a 2017 Gibson Standard and after receiving this Black Beauty i cant put it down. The neck feels unbelievable to me especially after i knocked the gloss down with 600 grit sandpaper. The P-90's are definitely a bit on the noisy side when running thru my Marshall but nothing a noise gate cant handle. the tone is amazing.
Very good value and outstanding tones!

Picked this one up during the last sale. I've had a blast playing it. I've had a Gibson Historic 54 and it was a superior guitar build wise. But that thing was nearly 11 pounds and I eventually sold it. Is the Epi built as well as the Gibson? No, of course not but the value proposition is miles ahead with the Epi. This one plays great after a setup and intonation. Already added a Bigsby with Vibramate plate!
Great guitar at a great price!

I've had this Epiphone Les Paul Custom P-90 guitar for almost a year now and absolutely love it. It has become my go to guitar. I also have the Epiphone Les Paul Special with P-90's and it has a very thick neck on it. The Custom has a lot better feeling neck that fits my hand perfectly. Yes I've had and have Gibson Les Paul's and SG's and this is almost right there with them in quality build, playability and sound. Only thing is frets weren't polished so a little scratchy. Just used a little soft grade steel wool to smooth them out. Also needed trusrod adjustment to get the back bow out of it. Action and intonation were spot on perfect after the trusrod adjustment. I've been playing guitar for 40 plus years so was very happy with this guitar after a few minor adjustments.

I saw this guitar pop up at GC on sale and have been looking for a black Custom. The P90s were not what I thought I wanted until i played them. Yeah they are single coil and can get noisy but that's how it goes with most P90s. When played clean they also sound great. Happy!
