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.

Waited Patiently for this release
I've been a lifelong Epiphone fan and this one doesn't disappoint. Lighter than other Les Pauls. A slimmer modern neck profile that's very comfortable. The pickups sound good and have some bite. I bought my widow off of the floor at the Spokane store and in comparison to the other 3, it was most similar to the guitar on the site. The purple was WAY darker in person and almost looked black from a distance and had a decent grain but the finish really hid it. I had to hold the guitar in direct sunlight to even see the grain. The red looked similar to what's pictured on the site, but the particular guitar their had a very weak grain. The pickup switch half of the face was plain, no flame at all. The cutout side had a very faint flame. The orange one had a decent flame, but I found the orange binding stood out a little too much against the rest of the guitar.

Did a set up. Lowered the action a touch, and oiled the fretboard. Bigger neck for Mr than usual and I love it. The Widow models are absolutely gorgeous. I don't think anyone who buys one will have any regrets. Stock Pro Sucker's are a great match with the woods used.

WOW, Epiphone has really stepped up. Not that they were bad but now you have to ask .."why pay thousands more for its sister companies gear" The hardware, quality, playability is all there. AND THE LOOK!!!! A real head turner.
Decent product, sounds good and plays well

If I were to buy this again I would want to see it in person beforehand. I played one in a guitar center near me that had a much better fit and finish than the one I received, which is always a gamble online. But overall I like it and would probably buy it again.
Really cool finish

It's a pretty standard Epiphone LP custom, but I really love the widow color scheme, plus it's a limited run which is nice.
Great Find
