Store finder
Hunting for that perfect balance of brutal tone and versatile features? The new Epiphone Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins 7-string is your winning bet. This long-awaited collaboration features a mahogany body, maple top, mahogany neck, and custom-voiced Fishman Fluence pickups, all designed with input from Matt Heafy (Trivium, Capharnaum, Ibaraki). This staggering guitar pairs modern bells and whistles with a nostalgic look that's inspired by the first Les Paul that Matt owned. The guitarists are quite impressed with the value and craftsmanship this guitar displays. Though designed for heavy-hitting metal tone, the two Fishman pickups onboard leverage a huge number of voicings for tonal alchemy that turns any playing style into pure gold.
Heafy-voiced Fishman pickups
This 7-stringLes Paul features two gold-accented Fluence Fishman pickups custom voiced and developed to Matt Heafy’s specifications. An active alnico neck pickup delivers high-output humbucking tone that’s crisp and fluid, while the ceramic bridge pickup delivers more aggressive bite. And the feast of fire doesn’t stop there. Four unique push-pull knobs also give you access to overwound single-coil tones, and the bridge pickup can be switched to passive humbucking for a different tenor. The result? Five distinct pickup settings for use separately or together, and an insane amount of tonal variety. Whatever genre is your jam, there’s a tone onboard that you're going to love.
Optimized Les Paul tone and speed
Matt Heafy’s signature model is powered by the tried-and-true formula of solid mahogany tonewoods with a maple top. This same combination has fueled decades of iconic rock. You’ll find mahogany perfect for bold tone with big sustain that sings and that the maple top adds a slight bright crispiness. When it comes to playability, the Matt Heafy Les Paul is optimized for speed. Its precision mahogany neck features a SpeedTaper “D” neck carve with a contoured heel for upper-fret access and lightning-fast riffs up and down the neck.
Winning hardware
The hardware onboard the Epiphone Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins is exactly what you’d expect from its namesake. Premium mini-Rotomatic locking tuners and a Tune-o-matic bridge ensure strong tuning stability, even when you really dig in. The guitar's custom black control knobs have a lower profile compared to standard LP knobs, so you never have to fear a volume or tone control mishap in the middle of a performance. Plus, this guitar’s strap buttons feature a reinforced cap that’s built to work like aftermarket strap locks, so your axe stays 100% secure even when you’re lost in the moment.
