Modern 7-String Les Paul Custom for Metal
The Epiphone Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins 7-String Ebony is the third signature model born from the collaboration between Epiphone and the frontman of the Florida metal powerhouse. Based on the classic Les Paul Custom design, this 7-string electric guitar combines timeless elegance with performance and tonal characteristics tailored specifically for modern metal. Modern weight relief and the fast “SpeedTaper D” neck profile ensure excellent playability, while the active Fishman Fluence Custom Series Matt Heafy pickups deliver a wide range of classic and contemporary metal tones. High-quality hardware including a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge with matching stopbar and Grover locking tuners rounds out this professional instrument.
The Epiphone Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins 7-String Ebony combines traditional looks with modern playing characteristics and premium metal tones.
The Axcess Heel makes the "SpeedTaper D" neck of the Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom 7-String easy to play up to the highest registers.
Classic style, seven strings and modern handling
In developing the Les Paul Custom Origins 7-String, Matt Heafy and Epiphone focused on blending the iconic “tuxedo” aesthetic with ergonomics suited to modern playing techniques. The weight-relieved mahogany body enhances comfort during long, high-energy performances, while the Axcess heel provides unrestricted access to the upper frets. The glued mahogany neck with its slim SpeedTaper D profile offers fast, comfortable playability, making even complex riffs and solos effortless across the 22-fret ebony fingerboard. The extended 25.5" (648 mm) scale length ensures tight response and clarity across all seven strings, even in low tunings.
The volume and tone controls on the Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins 7-String feature push/pull switches for changing the voicing of the Fishman Fluence pickups.
Fishman Matt Heafy pickups
At the heart of the instrument are Fishman Fluence Custom Series Matt Heafy humbuckers, designed to deliver versatile, high-performance metal tones through multiple voicings. The ceramic bridge pickup offers a modern active sound with high output, tight low end, and excellent definition even with heavy distortion and drop tunings while an alternative voicing provides a more organic, passive-style attack. The alnico neck pickup delivers a warm, articulate tone in its modern voicing, with a second, more dynamic voicing ideal for fluid lead playing. Both pickups also feature a single-coil mode, adding crisp, glassy tones to the sonic palette.
Grover Locking Rotomatics with Tulip wings keep the Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins 7-String securely in the correct tuning.
Professional hardware equipment
The Epiphone Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins 7-String Ebony is equipped with premium hardware designed for reliability in both studio and live environments. The LockTone stopbar tailpiece and Tune-O-Matic bridge are securely fixed for enhanced sustain and stability, while offering precise adjustment for accurate intonation and comfortable action even with heavier strings and low tunings. At the headstock, Grover locking tuners ensure stable tuning and enable fast, efficient string changes making this instrument a dependable partner for demanding performances.
