Epiphone is proud to introduce the Matt Heafy Les Paul™ Custom Origins 7-String, our newest signature model 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. 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.
