Three Custombuckers for a Plethora of Tones

The Phenix Les Paul Custom features three Custombucker humbucking pickups for a wide range of tones. The neck and bridge pickups are controlled by a standard 3-way toggle switch, providing punchy rhythm and searing lead tones. A separate volume and tone control allow you to blend and shape the pickups to your liking. The middle pickup, however, has its own volume and tone controls, which allow it to be used independently or in tandem with the neck and bridge pickups for even more tonal options. With the five controls, you can achieve tones from warm and mellow to aggressive and biting.

Iconic VOS Finish and Appointments

The Phenix Les Paul Custom sports a VOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish that gives it the look of a well-worn vintage instrument. Gold hardware, including Grover tuners, complements the VOS finish beautifully. The ultralight mahogany body provides resonance and sustain. All design elements, from the body shape to the pickups and electronics, were meticulously modeled after Peter Frampton’s original Phenix guitar to provide an authentically vintage rock experience.

Highly Flexible and Versatile

With its array of pickups and controls, the Phenix Les Paul Custom is a remarkably flexible instrument. The middle pickup allows for a wide range of blended tones when used with the neck or bridge pickups. When the neck and bridge pickups are rolled back, the middle pickup can also be used on its own. This versatility allows you to achieve tones from warm and mellow to aggressive and biting. The Phenix Les Paul Custom puts a plethora of vintage rock tones right at your fingertips.
