Modern Les Paul Custom construction

The Futura Les Paul Custom is built around a solid mahogany body topped with a maple cap, delivering the familiar warmth, sustain, and punch associated with classic Les Paul designs. Multi-ply binding on the top enhances the Custom aesthetic, while the gloss body finish highlights the dramatic Firestorm Shift Chromashift colour. This construction balances traditional tone with a modern visual edge, creating a guitar that feels substantial while standing apart from vintage-inspired models.

Fast neck feel and advanced fretboard

A glued-in mahogany neck with a Modern C profile provides a comfortable, fast feel that suits technical playing and extended sessions. The ebony fingerboard features a compound radius that transitions from 10 inches at the nut to 14 inches higher up the neck, making chord work feel natural while supporting effortless bends and lead playing. Stainless steel frets offer exceptional durability and a smooth playing surface, while split-block inlays complete the premium Custom look.

Versatile ProBucker Ignite electronics

Two Epiphone ProBucker Ignite humbuckers deliver high-output performance with clarity and definition, making them well suited to modern rock, metal, and high-gain styles. Push-pull controls on the volume and tone knobs unlock coil splitting and phase switching, dramatically expanding the tonal range without adding unnecessary complexity. This flexible control layout allows players to move from thick humbucker drive to sharper, single-coil-style tones with ease.

Modern hardware and stage-ready details

Hardware choices support reliability and performance, including a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and matching LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece for solid intonation and sustain. Grover Rotomatic locking tuners provide stable tuning and quick string changes, while a Graph Tech nut helps maintain consistent string response. Black plastics and nickel hardware complement the Firestorm Shift finish, and the guitar ships with a premium gig bag, ready for rehearsal, performance, or travel.
