On the surface the Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro looks identical to the traditional dual-humbucker Custom that was one of the few truly great American guitars of the late Sixties and Seventies.
It has a mahogany body, maple top, and glued-in set mahogany neck with a 24 3/4-inch scale, 22 medium jumbo frets, and large block inlays, and, like the Seventies versions, it’s available with either an Ebony or Alpine White finish and also in a left-handed version.
However, while it also features a pair of humbuckers with individual volume and tone controls as well as a three-position pickup selector switch, the pickups are an Epiphone ProBucker-2 at the neck and a ProBucker-3 at the bridge and the circuit is wired to provide coil splitting and out-of-phase tones in addition to humbucking sounds.
The volume controls have a push-pull function that engages coil splitting for the corresponding pickup, and the neck pickup tone control’s push-pull feature functions as a phase switch.
