Multi-platinum-selling and four-time grammy award® winner adam jones, from the band tool, is one of rock’s most talented and sonically innovative guitarists. Now epiphone has partnered with gibson custom to create a new model that pays tribute to what adam calls “one of my top favorite guitars of all time” - his silverburst 1979 gibson les paul custom. It has a three-piece maple neck with a custom adam jones profile, an ebony fretboard, and a mahogany body with a maple cap. Finished in antique silverburst, it also features a custombucker pickup in the neck position and a seymour duncan® distortion® in the bridge position, along with cts® potentiometers and orange drop® capacitors. It also has a gibson “open book” headstock profile with custom artwork on the headstock's rear that was designed by joyce su and adam jones, and even comes with a replica two-inch convex mirror included in the deluxe protector series hardshell case.
