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.
