Epiphone Jerry Cantrell Prophecy Les Paul Custom, Bone White Overview
As the founder, co-lead vocalist, primary songwriter and lead guitarist of Alice in Chains, Jerry Cantrell was an essential part of the influential grunge movement that took over the nineties. Through his distinctive vocal style, bone-crushing riffs and incendiary solos, Cantrell helped Alice in Chains become one of the most influential and definitive bands of the era. Today, Cantrell continues to push the boundaries with AIC and his acclaimed solo project. This signature Epiphone Les Paul Custom is a collaboration between Cantrell and Epiphone that was made to the AIC guitarist’s exacting specifications. The result is a slick, high-performance instrument that fuses the best of classic and contemporary features.
Punchy Natural Tone
The Epiphone Jerry Cantrell Les Paul Prophecy features a solid double-bound Mahogany body with a Maple cap and sleek Bone White finish. The combination of Mahogany and Maple has been a staple of Gibson instruments for decades, thanks to its juicy mids, rich lows and exceptional note definition. The body boasts Ultra-Modern weight relief, giving you that full-bodied Les Paul with less weight as well as better feedback resistance than a fully chambered design.
Elegant Playability
Joining the body is a Mahogany neck that’s carved into an effortlessly playable Custom Cantrell neck taper and an ultra-smooth 24-fret, 12-inch radius Ebony fretboard. The Jumbo frets feel superb for expressive string bends and vibrato whilst the traditional set-in neck design ensures optimal vibration transfer and singing sustain.
Powerful Switching Options
In the Epiphone Jerry Cantrell Prophecy Les Paul Custom’s engine room are a pair of versatile, custom-voiced Fishman Fluence humbuckers. These advanced active pickups deliver a trio of distinctive tones - a vintage-style P.A.F. humbucker, a fiery-hot modern humbucker and a crisp single-coil. Accessed via the push-pull volume and tone pots, all these tonal options are right at your fingertips and can be tweaked on-the-fly.
Professional Performance
Equipped with premium Grover locking Rotomatic tuners and a Graph Tech nut, the Epiphone Jerry Cantrell Les Paul Custom Prophecy is a guitar made to perform. Whether you’re playing hard-hitting riffs or ripping into a bend-heavy lead, you can count on Jerry Cantrell Prophecy’s rock-solid tuning stability and intonation. Completing this signature Jerry Cantrell Les Paul’s standout look is the brushed nickel hardware, “Jerry Cantrell” truss rod cover, “JJ” rear headstock logo and custom circle-in-diamond fingerboard inlays. The included custom hardshell case will keep your guitar safe and sound between gigs and rehearsals.
The gorgeous Epiphone Jerry Cantrell “Wino” Les Paul Custom in Wine Red is avaiable as an alternative if you want something slightly more traditional.
