Epiphone Adam Jones 1979 Les Paul Custom Antique Silverburst

The Epiphone Adam Jones 1979 Les Paul Custom is a faithful tribute to Tool guitarist Adam Jones’ legendary 1979 Gibson Les Paul. Developed in collaboration with Gibson Custom, this guitar combines premium craftsmanship, striking aesthetics, and powerhouse tone, making it both a collector’s piece and a player’s instrument.

Built with a solid mahogany body topped with maple, the guitar resonates with warmth, sustain, and clarity. Its three-piece maple neck, shaped to Adam Jones’ custom profile, and ebony fretboard ensure smooth playability and articulate response across the entire register. The striking Antique Silverburst finish mirrors the iconic look of Jones’ original Les Paul.

Tonally, this model is a powerhouse. A Custombucker pickup sits in the neck for vintage-inspired warmth, while a Seymour Duncan Distortion in the bridge delivers crushing high-output tone, perfect for everything from progressive rock to heavy metal. Combined, they provide a versatile palette that reflects Jones’ own dynamic style.

Additional features include Epiphone’s LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece for rock-solid sustain and intonation, and the Gibson open-book headstock with artwork by Joyce Su, adding exclusivity and visual flair. Packaged with a custom case featuring a two-inch convex mirror, this guitar isn’t just an instrument—it’s a statement.
