These Inspired by Gibson models deliver the tone, feel, and style needed for gigging, recording, and content creation in today’s modern music landscape. Featuring bold, color-shifting finishes, all-new pickups, and versatile electronics—including coil splitting and phase switching—the Futura Series offers the sound and visual impact today’s players need to stand out and make a personal statement. High-performance details such as stainless steel frets, compound-radius fretboards, and ultra-comfortable neck profiles make the Futura Series truly innovative and a must-have addition to any guitar collection.
The Gibson Les Paul remains one of the most celebrated electric guitars in history, embraced by countless artists across genres for decades. Epiphone proudly introduces the Futura Les Paul Custom—a modern evolution of this iconic design, reimagined with cutting-edge features for today’s Les Paul enthusiasts.
Its mahogany body incorporates Ultra-Modern weight relief to reduce weight while preserving the sustain and resonance Les Pauls are known for, and it’s topped with a maple cap that adds brightness to the warm midrange for classic tonal balance. Seven-ply binding adorns the top, while a Modern Contoured Heel ensures smooth access to the upper frets.
Premium hardware includes a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece for rock-solid intonation and sustain, along with Posi-Lok strap buttons for secure, worry-free performance. The glued-in mahogany neck features a long tenon and a fast-playing Modern C profile, paired with a bound ebony fingerboard. It boasts 22 stainless steel medium jumbo frets, elegant Super 400–style pearloid split-block inlays, and a 10"–14" compound radius for effortless chording and fluid bends.
The bound Kalamazoo headstock is fitted with locking Grover Rotomatic tuners and a Graph Tech nut, and it proudly displays the Epiphone logo alongside the Custom split-diamond inlay in mother-of-pearl.
Powering the Futura Les Paul Custom are Epiphone’s new ProBucker Ignite humbuckers, delivering high-output punch with impressive clarity. Push/pull controls unlock coil-splitting and phase options for expanded tonal versatility. Available in a stunning Chromashift finish this guitar is designed to turn heads on stage or on screen.
These pickups CHUG.
A medium–high‑output humbucker set engineered for modern players who want power and precision. Voiced hotter than a traditional PAF, they deliver the clarity, focus, and note separation today’s high‑gain styles demand. Think of them as the “Goldilocks” zone of humbuckers—classic PAF warmth and character, but with the extra push, tight low end, and aggressive attack that excel in modern rock, metal, and high‑gain rigs. You get punch, articulation, and a fast, responsive feel without sacrificing musicality. These share all the high-quality materials that are used on our other Pro series (e.g., ProBucker, ProBucker Custom, T-Type Pro) pickups.
