"SnØfall” Les Paul Custom 7-String

Matt Heafy’s Ltd. Ed. "SnØfall" Les Paul Custom 7-string has a Mahogany body with a Plain Maple Veneer top in a beautiful Alpine White Gloss finish. The body has black and white layered binding as does the “clipped ear” headstock. The Mahogany neck has a 1960's SlimTaper™ “D” profile and is glued to the body with a deep-set neck joint with “Axcess” heel for smooth upper fret access. The Phenolic fingerboard has a slightly wider 1 7/8” nut, a 24.75” scale length, a 12” radius, and 22 medium jumbo frets. The adjustable truss rod has a white and black cover with "MKH Les Paul Custom" in black silkprint and Epiphone’s classic 60s era logo in pearloid along with the traditional Les Paul Custom “split diamond” design.

EMG Active Pickups

Matt Heafy’s Ltd. Ed. "SnØfall" Les Paul Custom 6 and 7-string models feature his favorite active custom EMG 7-string pickups in custom white. In the lead position is an EMG-81-7, one of the most popular metal pickups ever made for 7-string guitars. Utilizing powerful ceramic magnets and close aperture coils, the EMG-81-7 is designed for detailed intensity, incredible amounts of high end cut, and fluid sustain. In the neck position is an EMG-707. First introduced in 2001, the EMG 707 was designed to eliminate the common problem of a “muddy” or cloudy-sounding low B-string. The EMG 707 features Alnico V magnets with wide aperture coils to bring up the low B string tone while maintaining a balanced and articulate upper register. Epiphone’s no-compromise electronics include a 1/4” non-rotating output jack and volume and tone controls with White Speed Knobs powered by full-size 500K Ω potentiometers. The pickup switch is Epiphone’s all-metal 3-way pickup selector with a white toggle cap. An easy-access 9V battery compartment can be found on the back of the guitar.

Rock Solid Hardware

The Ltd. Ed. "SnØfall" comes with “Trivium” proof hardware including nickel 14:1 ratio Deluxe Diecast machine heads with metal Tulip Buttons, Epiphone strap locks, a LockTone™ Tune-o-matic-7 bridge and Stopbar tailpiece combo, and an Epiphone Heavy-Duty ¼” output jack with metal jack plate. Both the 6 and 7-string "SnØfall" models include a premium gigbag and Certificate of Authenticity signed by Matt Heafy.
