Slash also plays his hard and favours a set of 11-48 gauge strings. Slash doesn’t go in for all that weight-relief business he’ll take them just as they come, and this feels like a substantial instrument. You'll be glad you got the thicker strap when you shoulder this Les Paul. Is that what we’ll get here? Performance and verdict Think PAF but more carnivorous, with a little more heat. The controls are as you would expect, with volume and tone controls for each pickup, with Epiphone deploying a pair of Custom ProBucker Alnico 2 humbuckers to replicate the Custom BurstBuckers that were in turn wound to replicate the pickups on Slash’s touring Les Pauls. Under the hood, you’ll find CTS pots and Orange Drop capacitors. In the case you’ll find some Epiphone strap locks. The jack is framed nicely by a cream plastic square plate matching the cream gold stamped ‘Rhythm/Treble’ washer around the pickup selector switch. We’ve got a Graph Tech nut and LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece. Epiphone has not scrimped on the hardware and components.
