The Epiphone Adam Jones 1979 Les Paul Custom is a faithful tribute to one of the most iconic guitars used by Adam Jones, the visionary guitarist behind prog-rock legends Tool. Known for his massive, textured riffs and heady, cinematic soundscapes, Jones has long relied on his original 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom Silverburst to shape the band’s unmistakable tone. This Epiphone model, created in collaboration with Gibson Custom, captures the spirit of that legendary instrument — bringing its distinctive look, feel, and sonic power to a wider audience while honoring one of modern rock’s most influential guitarists.

The design mirrors many of the details that made Jones’ original guitar so revered. A mahogany body paired with a maple cap delivers the thick sustain and punch that Les Paul Customs are known for, while the three-piece maple neck with a custom Adam Jones profile provides stability and a substantial, comfortable feel. The ebony fingerboard adds clarity and snap to every note, making it ideal for articulate riffing and soaring lead lines. Visually, the Antique Silverburst finish, multi-ply binding, and block inlays capture the elegant aesthetic of late-1970s Les Paul Customs, while the Gibson-style open-book headstock and custom artwork on the back add a unique artistic touch inspired by Jones himself.

Tonally, this instrument is built to deliver the crushing, atmospheric sound associated with Tool’s music. A Custombucker in the neck position offers warm, expressive vintage-style tones perfect for fluid leads and ambient textures, while the Seymour Duncan Distortion in the bridge provides aggressive output and tight low-end response for heavy riffs and high-gain applications. Premium electronics — including CTS pots and Orange Drop capacitors — ensure a dynamic response and excellent clarity across the control range. Completing the package is a Protector Series hardshell case, which even includes a replica convex mirror inspired by Adam Jones’ stage setup, making this guitar a standout tribute to one of rock’s most distinctive players. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
