From ember to inferno. Epiphone is fired up to introduce the Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins. A guitar molded by Matt’s vision, the Origins is available in 6- and 7-string versions with both right- and left-handed configurations in Bone White and Ebony finishes.
“The last several records of Trivium: Vengeance Falls, Silence of the Snow, The Sin of the Sentence, What the Dead Men Say, In the Court of the Dragon were all done with my original Epiphone MKHs, which is amazing,” says Matt. “I needed to make that sure that if Trivium fans were going out and getting these guitars, they could play every single song of ours the exact same way I would.” The Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins proves that Epiphone is truly for every stage and every level of player.
Unlike other 7-string guitars, the 7-string version of the Les Paul Custom Origins scale length is 25.5”. The Origins guitars feature a pair of custom-voiced Fishman Fluence® pickups, each of which delivers three distinct tones. The Alnico neck pickup provides a modern, active, high-output Alnico humbucker™ sound; a crisp, clean, and fluid neck humbucker sound; and a glassy, scooped, hi-fi single-coil sound. The ceramic bridge pickup offers a choice of modern, active, high-output ceramic humbucker tone; high output, passive ceramic humbucker tone; and a cutting, overwound single-coil tone. Push-pull volume and tone pots put all these incredible sounds right at your fingertips and make it easy to explore the expansive sonic palette this guitar offers.
The maple-capped mahogany body has modern weight relief for hours of comfortable play. The mahogany neck has a fast-playing SpeedTaper™ D profile and a contoured heel for exceptional upper-fret access. Gold hardware, including locking Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners with Tulip buttons and classic Les Paul Custom cosmetics, make this a standout guitar on stage. A custom hardshell case is included.
Head to Epiphone and in just a few days your very own Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origin will “Fall Into Your Hands.”
