The Widow's color-matched binding and chrome hardware create a standout look, making this guitar as visually captivating as it is sonically impressive.
Mahogany and Flame Maple for Balanced Tone
Built with a solid mahogany body and flame maple top, the Les Paul Custom Widow delivers a tonal foundation that balances warmth and clarity. The mahogany construction emphasizes midrange richness and sustain, while the flame maple top adds brightness and definition to every note. Enhanced by the guitar's 7-ply binding and gloss finish, the materials work together to deliver a responsive and articulate sound. Whether you're exploring complex chord voicings or melodic lead lines, the combination of premium tonewoods ensures excellent tonal depth and dynamic range with every performance.
ProBucker Custom Pickups for Dynamic Sound
The Les Paul Custom Widow is equipped with Epiphone ProBucker Custom pickups, offering tonal versatility inspired by vintage Gibson humbuckers. The neck pickup delivers smooth, creamy tones ideal for rhythm playing, while the bridge pickup provides tight, focused clarity for leads. Both pickups capture the full frequency spectrum, from warm lows to sparkling highs. Paired with CTS potentiometers and independent tone and volume controls, this setup offers allows you to shape your sound with precision. The ProBucker Custom pickups ensure rich harmonic detail and dynamic response, making them ideal for recording and live performances.
Premium Electronics for Precision Control
The Les Paul Custom Widow's electronics are designed for seamless playability, featuring independent volume and tone controls alongside a three-way pickup selector switch. The CTS potentiometers offer a smooth, tactile feel for precise adjustments, allowing players to sculpt their tone with ease. The intuitive layout ensures quick transitions between settings, whether blending pickups or isolating specific frequencies. This setup provides a user-friendly interface for achieving nuanced tonal variations in real time, making it a reliable choice for demanding musical environments.
Chrome Hardware and Durable Construction
Designed for long-lasting performance, this special-edition Les Paul boasts elegant chrome hardware, including Grover Rotomatic tuners with an 18:1 gear ratio and a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge with a stop bar tailpiece. These components provide stable tuning and optimal string vibration for sustained resonance. The Graph Tech nut reduces friction at the string contact points, improving tuning stability and enhancing overall durability. Combined with its set-neck construction and reinforced build, this model is crafted to withstand the rigors of frequent use while maintaining consistent playability.

Plays, feels and sounds like a USA made guitar. Pickups are very close to Gibson quality. Guitar itself is super comfortable, well finished. Very very minor flaw on binding above the pickup. Takes a serious close inspection. Fret board was dry and needed set up. Dayum!!
Great product. Employees somewhat aloof

Great guitar. Set up a better deal with it.
Paint scheme more subdued than photos depict.

Was somewhat disappointed when I unboxed this. The paint scheme is flatter and darker than the photos depict. They probably used color enhancing on the pictures. JUST ONCE I wish they would accurately represent the guitars that are sold. But fortunately, that was my only disappointment. Overall, the guitar is awesome. Setup was spot-on out of the box, craftsmanship on the guitar is superb - no flaws, no snagging fret ends. The tuning machines feel very good - no slipping. Pickups sound really good (for an Epi), a little bit muddy on the rhythm side, but not bad. All in all, an excellent Epiphone.
The Widow series is a long awaited model.

Inspired by Gibson Epis are no joke. My red Widow weighs 9.5 lbs and the probuckers scream! Finally an Epi after intonation I don't have to change a thing but strings which are Gibson so no slouch there either. The graph tech nut is as good as bone.
Awesome guitar!!!

I have only tried this model out at Guitar Center, but it was in perfect condition, almost as if nobody has touched it. I love the colors: Blue, Purple, Red, Orange, Black.
Stopped me in my tracks when I walked in the GC door!

I'm a 64 year old guitar teacher that owned a Gibson Standard Blueberry Burst which is gorgeous, but these finishes literally stopped me the second I came through my Birmingham, AL GC door. Grabbed the red one and searched for the lowest price amp and LOVED the sound from the pickups.
