Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Antique Silverburst with a greenish aged appearance, the Adam Jones 1979 Les Paul Custom is an Epiphone recreation of his 1979 instrument. A Seymour Duncan Distortion sits at the bridge, while a reverse-mounted Gibson Custombucker occupies the neck position, giving the two-pickup layout distinctly different voices. The three-piece maple neck has a custom Adam Jones carve, paired with a 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard. CTS potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors complete the electronics, and the guitar comes with a hardshell case and round mirror.
