With the Prophecy Les Paul Custom Plus GX, Epiphone presents a modern interpretation of the legendary Les Paul, orientated towards rockers and metal-heads. Equipped with 24 jumbo frets, the rosewood fretboard of the Prophecy Les Paul Custom Plus EX, offers two complete octaves for virtuoso solos and complex riffs, with great playability due to the flat 14” radius and the comfortable “Slim Taper D” profile.
Two original Gibson USA humbuckers ensure for fat humbucker sounds with no comparison. The Gibson 490R neck humbucker cannot deny their relationship to the legendary PAFs and with its transparent, airy sound is suited for inspiring Clean sounds as well as singing solos. The 498T in the bridge position is a little bit more of a brute and with pronounced upper mids and precise attack, every riff is powerfully articulated and represented.
The LockTone tone-o-matic bridge guarantees perfect intonation and string address, even when the guitar is tuned very low. Grover Rotomatics ensure for robust tuning stability.

I bought this guitar about one month ago. It comes with hardshell case so there no complaints about packaging.
Guitar sounds very good for its price, gibson humbuckers are really hot!
I want to thank managers of musicstore for high quality service.
