Epiphone Futura Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar: FAQ What makes the Futura Les Paul Custom more modern than a traditional Les Paul Custom? The Futura adds Ultra Modern weight relief, a contoured heel, compound-radius ebony fingerboard, stainless steel frets, locking tuners and expanded pickup switching for updated playability and tonal flexibility. What do the Chromashift finishes do? Firestorm Shift and Twilight Shift change in appearance as the viewing angle and lighting change, creating a color-shifting visual effect across the guitar. Does the Futura Les Paul Custom include a case? The Futura Les Paul Custom includes a premium gig bag for storage and transport. Classic Les Paul Custom styling meets a distinctly modern performance platform in the Epiphone Futura Les Paul Custom electric guitar. Ultra Modern weight relief, a compound-radius ebony fingerboard and a contoured neck heel update the playing experience, while a mahogany body with maple top and set mahogany neck with long tenon preserve the instrument's Les Paul foundation. Dual ProBucker Ignite humbuckers deliver powerful output with clear attack, and push/pull controls add coil splitting and phase switching for expanded tonal range. Locking Grover Rotomatic tuners, LockTone hardware, Posi-Lok strap buttons and an included premium gig bag reinforce its stage-ready design, while color-shifting Chromashift finishes give the Futura an unmistakably modern visual identity. Weight-Relieved Mahogany and Maple Construction The mahogany body uses Ultra Modern weight relief to reduce overall mass while retaining the maple top and set-neck construction central to the Les Paul design. Multi-ply top, fingerboard and headstock binding preserves the formal Les Paul Custom presentation, while Firestorm Shift and Twilight Shift Chromashift finishes change in appearance as the viewing angle and lighting shift. Compound-Radius Ebony Fingerboard Supports Modern Technique The ebony fingerboard transitions from a 10" radius near the nut to 14" higher up the neck, providing comfortable chord work in lower positions before flattening out for bends and lead playing farther up the neck. Twenty-two stainless steel medium-jumbo frets provide a smooth, durable playing surface, while Super 400-style pearloid split-block inlays reinforce the instrument's upscale Custom presentation. ProBucker Ignite Pickups With Expanded Switching Dual ProBucker Ignite humbuckers deliver powerful neck and bridge voices with clear attack and definition. Push/pull controls split the coils for brighter, lower-output sounds and engage phase switching for a thinner, more distinctive texture when both pickups are selected. Independent volume and tone controls retain familiar Les Paul operation while providing access to a broader range of sounds. Long-Tenon Construction and Contoured Heel Enhance Access The glued-in mahogany neck uses a long tenon to create a substantial connection with the body, while the contoured heel gives the fretting hand additional clearance when reaching the upper register. A Modern C profile provides a comfortable foundation for rhythm and lead work, complementing the compound-radius fingerboard and modernized heel design. LockTone Hardware and Locking Grover Tuners Support Stage Use A LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide stable string anchoring and straightforward intonation adjustment, while locking Grover Rotomatic tuners support precise tuning and faster string changes. A Graph Tech nut promotes consistent string movement, and Posi-Lok strap buttons provide additional security during performance. With modern playability, expanded electronics and distinctive Chromashift styling, the Epiphone Futura Les Paul Custom pushes the familiar Custom platform in a more contemporary direction.
