One of the hottest electric guitar launches of the past year or so has undoubtedly been Adam Jones' Gibson Les Paul Custom, and while an Epiphone model will eventually arrive, there are great Black Friday guitar deals to be had on Silverburst Les Paul Customs right this very second.
Head on over to Guitar Center, and you can grab an Epiphone Les Paul Custom Silverburst for $629 – a tasty $100 off the original price of $729.
Part of Epiphone's Inspired by Gibson collection, this Les Paul Custom's Silverburst finish is topped off by a fully bound body, neck and headstock, completing the high-class visual vibe.
The classic mahogany body and neck pairing is present and correct, complete with an ebony fingerboard and SlimTaper neck profile – if you're looking for sustain, you certainly won't have to, ahem, Pushit.
Tone-wise, Epiphone's ProBucker 2 and ProBucker 3 humbucking pickups are onboard, promising lower-output PAF-style tones via Alnico II magnets. Of course, if you're a die-hard Adam Jones fan, all it takes is a quick bridge pickup swap for a Seymour Duncan Distortion to team Tool tones with Adam Jones looks.
Elsewhere, Grover's ever-reliable Rotomatic tuners are onboard, while a LockTone ABR bridge and stopbar tailpiece keep those drop-D riffs in tune.
Head over to Guitar Center to grab this limited-edition model, and for more GC bargains, head on over to our guide to the best Guitar Center Black Friday deals.
