Epiphone Les Paul Custom P-90 Electric Guitar: FAQ

How do P-90 pickups differ from humbuckers?
P-90s are single-coil pickups known for articulate attack and pronounced midrange character. Compared with humbuckers, they can produce more electrical hum, particularly when playing with higher levels of gain.

Is the Epiphone Les Paul Custom P-90 good for blues and rock?
Yes. Its dual P-90 pickups provide the articulate attack and pronounced midrange response that work well for clean, overdriven and lead tones across blues and rock styles.

Does the Epiphone Les Paul Custom P-90 include a case?
No. A case is sold separately.

Available exclusively at Guitar Center, the Epiphone Les Paul Custom P-90 electric guitar pairs classic Custom construction and appointments with the distinctive response of dual soapbar pickups. A mahogany body with maple top and set mahogany neck establish the familiar Les Paul foundation, while a 60s SlimTaper profile and ebony fingerboard provide a comfortable playing surface across 22 frets. Two Epiphone P-90 soapbar pickups deliver articulate single-coil attack and pronounced midrange character, with independent volume and tone controls for shaping each pickup. LockTone hardware, Epiphone Deluxe tuners and a Graph Tech nut complete this Guitar Center Exclusive take on the Les Paul Custom.

Classic Les Paul Construction With P-90 Character

A mahogany body with maple top gives the Les Paul Custom P-90 its traditional solidbody foundation, complemented by a set mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard. Rather than the dual-humbucker configuration commonly associated with the Les Paul Custom, this model uses two Epiphone P-90 soapbar pickups for a more immediate single-coil response. Their articulate attack and pronounced midrange character suit everything from clean rhythm work to overdriven leads, giving this familiar Custom platform a distinctive amplified voice.

60s SlimTaper Neck and Ebony Fingerboard

The set mahogany neck features a 60s SlimTaper profile designed for a streamlined feel in the fretting hand. Its 24.75" scale maintains familiar Les Paul proportions, while the 12"-radius ebony fingerboard provides a smooth playing surface for chords, bends and lead work. Twenty-two frets and block inlays complete the traditional layout, combining classic Les Paul Custom styling with a neck profile suited to players who prefer a slimmer feel.

Independent Controls Shape Two P-90 Voices

Each Epiphone P-90 soapbar pickup has dedicated volume and tone controls, providing independent adjustment of the neck and bridge voices. The 3-way toggle offers quick access to either pickup or both together, allowing players to move from warmer neck sounds to the bridge pickup's more focused attack or blend the two in the middle position. The traditional four-knob Les Paul layout keeps those tonal adjustments immediately accessible without adding complexity to the instrument.

Custom Appointments Complete the Classic Presentation

Traditional Les Paul Custom appointments give the model a refined visual identity that complements its distinctive pickup configuration. Binding outlines the body and ebony fingerboard, while block inlays reinforce the familiar Custom aesthetic. A gloss finish, Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines and coordinated hardware complete the presentation, pairing the upscale visual language of a Les Paul Custom with the contrasting look of two exposed soapbar pickups.

LockTone Hardware Supports a Familiar Fixed-Bridge Setup

A LockTone ABR bridge provides individual intonation adjustment, while the matching stopbar tailpiece securely anchors the strings in a familiar Les Paul configuration. Epiphone Deluxe tuners provide precise tuning adjustment, with a Graph Tech nut completing the string path. Combining this straightforward hardware with a 60s SlimTaper neck and dual P-90 electronics, the Epiphone Les Paul Custom P-90 offers players a Guitar Center Exclusive alternative to the traditional humbucker-equipped Custom.
