The Epiphone Adam Jones 1979 Les Paul Custom is a single-cutaway electric guitar that recreates the Silverburst 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom owned by Adam Jones of Tool. Epiphone developed it in partnership with Gibson Custom. It has a mahogany body with a maple cap and is finished in Antique Silverburst.
The neck is three-piece maple with an Adam Jones custom profile and an ebony fingerboard. The headstock uses a Gibson "open book" profile. Custom artwork on the back of the headstock was designed by Joyce Su and Adam Jones.
A Custombucker pickup sits in the neck position, mounted in reverse. A Seymour Duncan Distortion pickup sits in the bridge position. The controls use CTS potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors. The guitar comes in a Deluxe Protector Series hardshell case with a replica two-inch convex mirror.
