The Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Custom 100th Anniversary features Epiphone's critically acclaimed ProBucker pickups, a 4-wire design with coil-splitting inspired by Gibson's legendary BurstBuckers. Since their introduction, Epiphone ProBucker pickups have beguiled pros, luthiers, collectors, and guitar magazine editors and their consensus is ProBuckers aren't "like" the real thing - they are the real thing!
ProBucker pickups recreate the sound of the original hand-wound "PAF" humbuckers designed by Seth Lover at the Kalamazoo factory in the late '50s by featuring all the same ingredients as the originals including Alnico II magnets, Elektrisola magnet wire, 18% nickel silver unit bases and covers, and pole screws, slugs and bobbins manufactured to Gibson's original specifications. The result is a phenomenal pickup that, over time, will develop the subtle, one-of-a-kind characteristics that previously you could only get from vintage humbuckers. And best of all, those unique pickup characteristics will give your guitar a unique "voice." No two vintage Les Pauls sound alike and ProBuckers will give your Epiphone Les Paul Custom 100th Anniversary a one-of-a-kind sound that will only get better the more you play. So plan on playing this Les Paul Custom a lot!
There is no other Les Paul on Earth like the Ltd. Ed. 100th Anniversary Custom which features 24 karat gold plated hardware including a gold plated truss rod cover engraved with "Les Paul 100th Anniversary," a gold LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece, a gold Epiphone heavy-duty non-rotating output jack, and gold Grover 18:1 machine heads with stepped "Imperial" buttons.
