It wasnt long before The Log evolved into the legendary Les Paul. Throughout his life, Les continued to work closely with Epiphone reviewing new products and offering suggestions. They are damn fine instruments, I swear by them! said Les. The Epiphone Ltd. Ed.Inspired by 1955 Les Paul Custom Outfit is an historic reissue of the tuxedo Les Paul that Les designed to be the most beautiful electric guitar ever made with a striking Ebony finish with gold hardware that would not only look great with a tux but would also convince skeptics that the newand controversial–solid body electric guitar was a refined and classy instrument.Historic 1955 Les Paul CustomThe new Ltd.
