Discover the Epiphone Adam Jones 1979 Les Paul Custom in detail
About Adam Jones
In his childhood, Adam Jones first played the violin and later the electric bass. While at school, he played in a band called Electric Sheep with Tom Morello, later guitarist for Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave . After graduating from school and studying FX technology, he founded the progressive metal band TOOL with his neighbor Maynard James Keenan, bassist Paul d'Amour and drummer Danny Carey. He also took over video production for the band and shot the famous TOOL videos, which differ from ordinary music videos with their stop-motion technique, drab colors and grotesque figures. On stages around the world he impresses with his technically sophisticated guitar playing.
Adam's famous Les Paul Custom at an affordable price
Now, Epiphone has teamed up with the Gibson custom shop to create a new model that pays homage to the instrument that Adam says is one of his all-time favorite guitars - his 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom in Silverburst. It features a three-piece maple neck with a special Adam Jones profile, an ebony fretboard and a mahogany body with a maple top. Finished in Antique Silverburst, it features a Custombucker pickup in the neck position and a Seymour Duncan Distortion in the bridge position, as well as CTS potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors. Of course, it also has a faithful Gibson Open Book headstock and even a convex mirror is included in the Deluxe Protector Series hard case.
