The dark tone is due to the electronics and pickups used at the time, at least that's what I think. I have a '79 silverburst and I've played many other Customs from the same time period and they pretty much all sound the same. So, any definitive knowledge on the subject? Mahogany body with maple top provides iconic Les Paul richness and sustain.
So, I know some of you know more about how these were made back in the '70's and '80's. Classic Les Paul playability and tone with a 70s vibe. I could have sworn that the original metallic paint contained some chemical that was found to be harmful to the environment or something and that's why they stopped making them (that and sales sucked because people thought they were ugly, not because of some "myth" of altered tone). It's not unique to Silverbursts.Īnd isn't the metallic paint the same automotive paint as the other metallic finishes such as goldtops? Even the new Silverbursts still use metallic paint.

However, we all know how eager Tool fans are to get in on a bit of Adam Jones action, and there’s every chance that if an Epiphone version is released this year, it’s going to go absolutely gang-busters. Given the nature of high-profile signature collaborations like this, it’s probably fair to assume that an Epiphone Silverburst Les Paul Custom affiliated with Adam Jones will be released as a limited edition drop, and will still probably set you back a considerable amount of coin should you keen. A post shared by Adam Jones how quickly last year’s limited run of Adam Jones Signature Les Paul guitars sold out – and that a number of guitars were stolen in one of the most elaborate instrument heists we’ve seen in a hot minute – it’s fair to say that there’s going to be a lot of Tool fans who are over the moon at the news of an affordable version of the guitar being a possibility.
