Epiphone Jerry Cantrell "Wino" Les Paul Custom in Dark Wine Red
2024 production, in excellent condition with original hard case
The Epiphone Jerry Cantrell "Wino" Les Paul Custom is the more
accessible counterpart to Cantrell's celebrated Gibson Custom Shop
signature, designed in close partnership with the Alice In Chains
guitarist himself. It captures the look, feel, and core voice of his
treasured 1970s Gibson Les Paul Custom in Wine Red - the guitar that
helped define the sound of records like Dirt and Jar of Flies.
This particular example is a 2024 production unit, presented in
excellent condition with only minor surface marks consistent with
light use. The serial number 24041530805 confirms an April 2024 build.
A perfect entry point for AIC fans and Les Paul Custom enthusiasts who
want the look and tone without the Gibson Custom Shop price tag.

== WHY THIS GUITAR ==
The Wino Les Paul Custom is one of the most authentic-feeling Epiphone
Les Paul Customs in recent years, with appointments such as the Cantrell
custom taper neck, real ebony fingerboard, and CTS potentiometers
elevating it well above the standard Epiphone tier. The exposed coil
bridge pickup and gold-covered neck humbucker visually mirror Cantrell's
own Gibson, and the Dark Wine Red finish is a noticeably deeper, moodier
shade than typical Epiphone red models.
This is a 2024-produced example with the included branded hard case and
documentation, in excellent condition. A great instrument for AIC fans,
gigging players, or Les Paul Custom collectors looking for the wine red
variant at a sensible price.
