Tool’s Adam Jones Partners With Epiphone For New Signature Guitar

Epiphone, in partnership with Gibson Custom, has recreated Adam Jones‘ 1979 Silverburst Gibson Les Paul Custom guitar.

The new signature guitar pays tribute to what the four-time Grammy Award winning Tool guitarist calls “one of my top favorite guitars of all time.”

It has a three-piece maple neck with a custom Adam Jones profile, an ebony fretboard, and a mahogany body with a maple cap.

Finished in Antique Silverburst, it also features a Custombucker pickup in the neck position and a Seymour Duncan Distortion in the bridge position, along with CTS potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors. It also has a Gibson “open book” headstock profile with custom artwork on the head.

Like his previous Gibson/Epiphone signature models, Jones was “heavily involved” in the creation of the guitar, Epiphone said in a press release.

The Adam Jones 1979 Les Paul Custom Silverburst, which is priced at $1,499, is available to purchas via Epiphone at https://www.epiphone.com/en-US/Electric-Guitar/Adam-Jones-1979-Les-Paul-Custom/Antique-Silverburst.
