Epiphone Matt Heafy Origins Les Paul Custom 7-String Ebony 7-String Electric Guitar with Case

General

Fully decked out with the extra range of a seventh string, the longer reach of a 25.5 inch scale length, and the tight, accurate and varied output of a set of custom Fluence humbuckers, this is the Epiphone Matt Heafy Origins Les Paul Custom. Bearing the same set of upgrades as the six-string edition, the seven-string Signature Origins boasts smooth playability and contemporary voicing, pushing everything right up to date. While the timeless LP body-shaping, body binding, position markers and ebony fretboard have remained untouched, the welcome addition of modern weight-relief polishes off a light and nimble, fast-playing sidekick. This edition of the MKH Origins comes topped with deluxe gold-plated hardware and wrapped up in a Custom Hardshell case.

The set of twenty-two medium jumbo frets and the 12 inch fretboard radius provide friendly and familiar playability fully backed up by the ultra-fast feel of a SpeedTaper D neck carve coupled with a set-in construction and modern contoured heel. The mounted LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and LockTone Stop Bar provide the perfect resting place for your playing hand, while extra tuning stability is assured by a set of Grover Locking Rotomatic tuners.

Fishman MKH Fluence 7-String Humbuckers

Besides the extended range of the extra string, Leafy has set this guitar up with the elastic voicing that can only be delivered by a pair of his own exclusive MKH Fluence humbuckers - courtesy of Fishman. Both capped with soapbar-style covers, the ceramic edition sits at the bridge and can be flipped between a super-tight active or passive output or a nicely overwound single-coil-flavoured sound, while the Alnico edition planted at the neck shapes a more rounded passive and active double-coil output as well as a tasty hifi-style single-coil sound. Switching voicings is as easy as pushing or pulling the tone pots or popping out the volume pots to split the coils
