The latest and best gear we recommend right now… I cannot wait to see this thing get official! How much will Adam Jones’ Epiphone Les Paul Custom cost? That’s the million-dollar question. I’d expect to see Adam’s signature Epiphone Les Paul released within the next couple of months. The next logical question is will Adam’s signature 1979 Epiphone Les Paul be a limited edition run? It very well could be: Epiphone knows how well received the Gibson model was, so it stands to reason this model will do similar or, more likely, even better numbers.Īs for release dates, nothing has been confirmed about when you’ll be able to buy Adam Jones’ signature 1979 Epiphone Les Paul Custom, although the fact that he has teased it, most likely with the permission of Epiphone, indicates a launch and release date cannot be too far away. If this guitar is legit, which I’m assuming it is – why else would Adam tease it? – then I’d expect much the same hardware as his Gibson model that means Seymour Duncan pickups, the same finish (more or less), and largely similar electronics. This latter option isn’t likely, however – an Epiphone version, aimed at the mass market, makes way more sense both fiscally and from a marketing perspective. The “other” less-good option is that Adam is simply releasing a 1979-branded guitar case, so you can pretend you have a really expensive guitar. RELATED: Gibson vs Epiphone: What’s The Difference? With an Epiphone model, however, I could potentially stretch it.Īnd if Epiphone’s 20 output are anything to go by, the 1979 Epiphone Les Paul Custom (in Adam’s signature Silverburst) will have much the same spec and components as the Gibson model, but retail for considerably less. I love TOOL, I love Adam, and I love Les Pauls. In the Instagram post, Adam simply said: “more prototypes” – indicating that work is indeed underway on an Epiphone version of his signature 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom.Īnd this has got me a little hot under the collar. Adam Jones Epiphone 1979 Les Paul Custom Confirmed
The first option, the good one, is that Adam is working on an honest-to-goodness Epiphone version of his amazing 1979 Les Paul Custom. Now, this could mean a couple of things – one is good, the other is not so good.
What does this mean? Well, if Adam’s most recent Gibson Les Paul signature model, the silverburst 1979 Les Paul Custom, was a little too pricey for you, there could be an equally good alternative on its way later this year.Īdam posted some images on Instagram, specifically an Epiphone guitar case with the words Adam Jones 1979 etched on the side of it. Adam Jones of Tool has teased a new signature model – only this time it looks as if it will be an Epiphone Les Paul Signature model
