Epiphone 2016 Bjorn Gelotte Signature Les Paul Custom Black + Case & COA 11612

Description
This is a rare 2016 Epiphone Bjorn Gelotte Signature Les Paul Custom in black finish. It comes with the original hard case and Certificate of Authenticity, case key, and a black pickguard that is currently not installed. Features include EMG 81/85 pickups, a very chunky '59 profile mahogany neck with ebony fretboard, and all gold hardware. Fully bound body and neck.

This guitar is in very clean condition. Some small scuffs (see pics). Frets are excellent. The gold hardware shows some signs of fading in certain places. I do a full cleaning and setup on all guitars. (Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing.) Thanks for looking!

What You Get
-- Full setup, cleaning, and new strings.
-- FREE USA shipping.
-- 30-day return policy.
-- Ship within 1 business day--pro packing.

Guitar Setup
All setups are done by our in-house luthier. Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Basses get the same treatment minus the string change. Thanks!

Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 10 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "THERE IN ONE PIECE...How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.

Les Paul Custom Tuned for Bjorn Gelotte of In Flames

When Bjorn Gelotte was offered a signature Les Paul, he wasted no time in dialing in his high-intensity sound for his band In Flames. The Epiphone Bjorn Gelotte Les Paul Custom solidbody electric guitar looks like your typical mahogany-bodied Paul at first glance, but it's got a lot going on under the hood. Gelotte opted for the classic high-gain combo of EMG 81/85 pickups, and decked them out in gold, which adds to the sleek look. He further customized his signature axe with Epiphone's LockTone "Nashville-style" Tune-o-matic bridge with a stopbar tailpiece. The limited edition Bjorn Gelotte Les Paul Custom merges classic looks and high-octane performance!

Based on the legendary Les Paul Custom platform
The Les Paul Custom is a design that has been seen in the hands of some of the most influential guitarists of all time. Its classic looks and hot humbucking tones have allowed artists such as Randy Rhodes, Jimmy Page, Zakk Wylde, and Ace Frehley forge their own paths to rock 'n' roll glory. And now in the hands of In Flames guitarist Bjorn Gelotte, the Les Paul Custom is again blazing trails.

Built to Bjorn Gelotte's exacting standards
When Epiphone asked Bjorn Gelotte what he wanted for his limited edition signature guitar, Bjorn - a long time Les Paul guy - didn't have to do much to dial it in. Using an ebony Les Paul Custom as a springboard, the Bjorn Gelotte LP Custom offers EMG pickups with an easy-access battery compartment, gold Grover tuners, LockTone "Nashville-style" Tune-o-matic bridge, and custom inlay work on the headstock. A very limited run of these guitars are being produced, so make sure you grab yours today.

Loaded with EMG 81 and 85 active humbucking pickups
Gelotte chose EMG 81 and 85 pickups for his signature Les Paul Custom. The classic combination ensures you get enough firepower under the hood for any kind of high-gain, high-intensity metal or rock. But unlike the standard EMGs, these are the Metalworks series, giving the pickup a gold metal cover that looks perfectly at home on the upscale Les Paul Custom. And the easy-access battery compartment will keep your battery changes quick and easy in the heat of a gig.
