Epiphone Les Paul Custom Black Beauty Electric Guitar, with Case (pre-owned)

“Time-Tested Tone from an Unmistakable Icon.”

The Black Beauty is a guitar that wears its history with pride. Cloaked in classic black with gold hardware, it exudes the iconic elegance of the Les Paul Custom line while delivering the rich, resonant tone that players have come to expect, it’s made for singing blues, rockin' riffs and searing solos.

This example shows its years with authenticity rather than neglect. There’s no fret wear but the hardware and pickups display a heavy, natural tarnish that speaks to the guitar’s age, along with the finish, which shows subtle sinkage and unevenness on the back. There are a few surface marks, minimal scuffs it’s picked up over the years and a single small but wider shallow ding at the centre back. These are the hallmarks of an instrument that has been genuinely used and enjoyed, giving it character without compromising performance.

Played, it responds beautifully, whether you’re layering clean chords, digging into crunchy rhythm or sustaining leads lines. Accompanied by a hard case, this Black Beauty is a striking, playable piece of Les Paul heritage that shows its age with pride, yet ready for the next chapter in its musical journey.
