A Les Paul with A Light Touch The striking Les Paul Muse offers both new and veteran guitarists a lightweight chambered Les Paul body that's easier to hold thanks to the contoured "belly scarf" and thin rim. The Muse Les Pauls are made from rich Okoume tonewood with a maple cap and single-ply white binding. The hand-set Okoume neck has a Custom "C" profile with an Indian Laurel fingerboard with pearloid trapezoid inlays, a 24.75" scale, medium jumbo frets, and a narrow Graphtech 1.61" nut.
Ceramic Plus Humbuckers The Les Paul Muse is powered by Epiphone's Ceramic Plus humbuckers, the first Les Paul from Epiphone to feature ceramic magnet humbuckers. Like Epiphone's critically acclaimed ProBucker pickups, the Ceramic Plus humbuckers feature 18% nickel silver unit bases, bobbins tooled to exact Gibson specifications, Elektrisola magnet wire, but instead are powered by high output ceramic 8 magnets. Ceramic Plus pickups provide high or "hot" output while still maintaining clarity and focus that's perfect for metal and hard driving rock. Ceramic Plus pickups also exhibit incredible sustain, drive, and harmonic content at high volume. Modern hi-wattage amps are an especially good match with Ceramic Plus pickups, providing all the color and character of a classic humbucker but with the cutting drive that can keep up with intense volumes, fast and super articulate players, and more efficient modern amps. Controls include a standard 3-way toggle switch and standard Les Paul volume and tone for each pickup with clear speed knobs with white numbers. Both pickups also offer a push-pull split-coil feature activated at each volume control to turn the humbucker into a single-coil pickup for even more tonal options as well as a in/out phase switch on the neck's tone control. The volume pots also now feature a standard treble bleed circuit to maintain clarity at lower volume.
Rock Solid Epiphone Hardware Like all great Les Pauls, the Muse features rock solid hardware including Grover Rotomatic machine heads with an 18:1 tuning ratio and Epiphone's standard LockTone bridge and Stopbar tailpiece.
