The Epiphone IGC Les Paul Custom Amethyst Sparkle channels the prestige of classic Les Paul design into a modern singlecut electric for discerning players. This instrument stands out with its dazzling Amethyst Sparkle gloss finish and period-correct details, offering both visual impact and legendary sound. Crafted with premium tonewoods and genuine Gibson USA pickups, it delivers professional tone and playability for stage, studio, and collection.

Distinctive Features That Define the IGC Les Paul Custom

What sets this model apart is its authentic build: a mahogany body with a carved maple top, a set mahogany neck with a long neck tenon for enhanced sustain, and a handwired electronics package using CTS potentiometers and Mallory capacitors. The inclusion of Gibson USA 498T (bridge) and 490R (neck) humbuckers provides the tonal authority of a genuine Custom, while deluxe cosmetic appointments—such as multi-ply binding, mother-of-pearl block inlays, and gold Grover Rotomatic tuners—bring signature Les Paul Custom luxury.

Premium Tonewoods and Finish for Sonic Excellence

Core materials define the signature feel and resonance of this instrument, making every note ring with clarity and sustain. The polished Amethyst Sparkle finish isn’t just visually striking—it’s expertly applied over a mahogany body and maple top to maximize warmth, punch, and projection. The mahogany neck supports rich mids and smooth upper register access, while the solid construction is engineered for both beauty and reliability.

• Body Material: Mahogany — delivers classic depth, punch, and sustain
• Top Material: Maple — adds bright clarity and dynamic snap to every chord
• Players will appreciate the Polished Amethyst Sparkle finish, which offers an eye-catching gloss that’s durable and ready for the stage.

Feel and Response: Ebony Fingerboard, Modern Neck

Player comfort is front and center, thanks to a modern Medium C set neck profile and a smooth ebony fingerboard. A 305 mm (12") fingerboard radius and 629 mm (24.75") scale length balance chordal ease with agile soloing. The Graph Tech nut and 22 medium jumbo frets offer a refined playing surface for both intricate lead work and heavy riffing.

Under the surface, high-end electronics and hardware guarantee versatile, reliable performance. Handwired CTS pots and Mallory caps deliver dynamic response, while the Tune-o-matic bridge, Stopbar tailpiece, and Grover Rotomatic tuners ensure tuning stability and accurate intonation. The dual Gibson USA humbuckers unlock classic Les Paul tones from mellow cleans to searing gain, all managed via a traditional two volume/two tone, three-way toggle setup.
