The Epiphone Adam Jones Les Paul Custom Art Collection is now available worldwide at authorized Epiphone dealers and on www.epiphone.com.
Tumblr media
The second model to debut in the Adam Jones Les Paul Custom Art Collection is Frank Frazetta’s “The Berserker.” Known as the Godfather of fantasy art, acclaimed artist Frank Frazetta was an illustrator of comic books, movie posters and paperback book covers whose visions helped define fantasy heroes like Conan, Tarzan, John Carter of Mars, and more. This guitar displays Frank Frazetta’s masterpiece, “Berserker” on the back of the guitar, artwork on the rear headstock is designed by world-renowned artist Korin Faught. The artwork “Berserker,” also known as “Conan The Conqueror,” was painted by Frazetta in 1968, for the cover of the Conan The Conqueror paperback novel by author Robert E. Howard. The original artwork is currently owned by Kirk Hammett of Metallica and Conan® is a registered trademark of Conan Properties International LLC.
Frank Frazetta was born in Brooklyn on February 9, 1928, and as a boy studied art at the Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts. He began drawing for comic books of all stripes--westerns, mysteries, fantasies--when he was still a teenager. He was also a good enough baseball player to try out for the New York Giants. Frazetta was a versatile and prolific comic book artist who, in the 1940s and ’50s, drew for comic strips like Al Capp’s “Lil’ Abner” and comic books like “Famous Funnies,” for which he contributed a series of covers depicting the futuristic adventurer, Buck Rogers. Explore the artwork of Frank Frazetta, HERE.
"My exposure to Frank Frazetta began early in my life. There’s something about his artwork that has spoken to me for as long as I can remember,” says Adam Jones. “When I was very young, I would save money to buy his adult comic art and pulp novel covers without my parents’ knowledge, sneaking them into the house undetected. To this day, as I work on my own projects, I’m transported back to those moments of discovery and influence. Frank’s technical prowess is unmatched in his genre (I’m such a proud nerd…) and he continues to be one of my heroes.
When Cesar at Gibson and I discussed a line of fine art-enhanced guitars, I hoped we would get permission to use one of Frank’s images, and I am so grateful to his estate for allowing us to use ‘Berserker’ on this Epiphone Les Paul."
“I was 13 years old when I first heard the TOOL song ‘Schism,’ it immediately resonated with me on a spiritual level and I’ve been a fan ever since,” adds Sara Frazetta, Granddaughter of Frank Frazetta. “To collaborate with Adam Jones and my Grandfather’s artwork on this gorgeous new Epiphone Art Collection of guitars has been amazing and seeing the guitars, it’s clear Frazetta’s art was destined for guitars.”
Watch the video for the Epiphone Adam Jones Les Paul Custom Art Collection, HERE, and explore the collection HERE.
The Adam Jones Les Paul Custom Art Collection: Frank Frazetta’s “The Berserker” isn’t just an art piece to hang on the wall; it’s an exceptional instrument for players to craft their own masterpiece. The Epiphone Adam Jones Les Paul Custom Art Collection has a bound mahogany body with a maple cap, a three-piece bound maple neck with an Adam Jones Custom profile, and an ebony fretboard. It is equipped with a reverse-mounted Epiphone ProBucker™ Custom humbucker™ in the neck position and a Seymour Duncan® Distortion in the bridge; both are wired to CTS® potentiometers and Orange Drop® capacitors. A Marquee Back Plate with Frank Frazetta’s name and the title of the artwork, “The Berserker” is also included. The guitar is finished in Antique Silverburst as an homage to Adam’s beloved original Silverbust 1979 Gibson® Les Paul Custom, a Protector hardshell case is also included.
The Epiphone Adam Jones Art Collection consists of seven, Silverburst Les Paul™ Custom models, each featuring reproductions of different works of fine art on the back. Adam curated all of the featured artwork, and selected five distinguished artists Mark Ryden, Frank Frazetta, Julie Heffernan, Korin Faught, and Ernst Fuchs for the collection; additional artwork designed by world-renowned artist Korin Faught, adorns the back of the headstock of each model. Only 800 guitars of each model from this unprecedented, extremely limited edition run will be produced.
One of the rock’s most talented and sonically innovative guitarists, Adam Jones is renowned as the guitarist for the band TOOL, as well as his work as a visual artist, sculptor, videographer, producer, and special effects designer (Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, Edward Scissorhands, Ghostbusters II, Batman Returns, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3, 4 and 5, Dances with Wolves, Bride of the Re-Animator, Pet Sematary, Shocker, and License To Kill).

so. i love my guitar it's way better than my other les paul and i think it's great and i'm so glad i got it. it needs a setup more than any other guitar i've ever held in my hands before, holy shit. frets out on the g string at the 7th fret. i would not really call the state this guitar is in 'playable'. i will be looking to get some work done immediately as i do think it's worth it. also i am definitely buying some strap locks because the epiphone strap buttons fucking blow. but like, first impressions actually really really good besides those two very fixable issues. it sounds pretty great.
some interesting things about this guitar:
it's a les paul with a 24 fret neck, but the les paul scale length. they did this by moving the bridge up closer to the neck joint. i actually think this improves the comfort of the guitar in my upright playing position quite a bit. resting my hand as i feel comfortable, the tone is a good deal brighter because my hand rests closer to the bridge. i actually prefer the sound of picking higher up but my hand position for that is also pretty comfortable and this makes for a good change of pace, plus it's generally better for the heavy music this guitar was pretty clearly designed to play.
i think the belly carve is designed for people playing a les paul in a more typical les paul playing position. horizontal.... yuck. but i find that it has improved the comfort greatly in the upright position as well. i'm not sure but i think the body may be a touch thinner than my epi les paul custom pro is, even where there is no cutaway. perhaps i only think so because the guitar is quite light.
the upper fret access cutaway is surprisingly effective and i find the comfort is vastly improved over the standard shape.
i was not actually aware of this before my purchase but it would appear that this guitar is in a sort of satin-like finish that they're calling an 'aged gloss'. it's definitely nothing like an old gloss finish, it's just a very slightly reflective satin finish. i had an unfounded bias against satin finishes but i think this feels really good to touch. i can't help but wonder if the flamed maple veneer would look better with a full gloss on it but i find this overall acceptable and would even say it looks pretty good.
i don't find the fishman fluences to be a miracle or anything, they kind of just sound exactly like normal pickups. the switching voices thing just feels like an eq thing, it'd be a lot cooler if they were completely different tones but kind of just feels like the vintage tone adds some bass and cuts some mid. maybe the frequency response for the treble is a bit different but i'm not really getting that. my hearing might be going anyways.....
i was excited when i learned the fretboard is supposed to be ebony, everywhere i could find footage and video of this guitar it was a very deep black. the one i received is basically indistinguishable from a dark rosewood, which is i guess fine. the fret inlays are pretty cool and i didn't really buy this one for the looks anyway... if i was hung up on how it looked i'd probably have saved another week and gotten the red one. but actually, i like this green one. i do like green quite a bit, but this is more of a yellowed green and i think it looks good. the thick black burst kind of reminds me of those like super greened out silverbursts people love so much. but i get that and a flamed maple veneer, aint i fancy? i think it's pretty good.
overall quality rating, i would give epiphone a pretty good passing grade here. i think the fretwork is some of the best on any guitar i've ever handled. although i haven't looked at the guitar toooooooooo closely to inspect for finishing errors and poorly done binding i would say it passes the glance test quite readily.
i'm not really sure why it got sold off to the store i bought it from. maybe they just weren't a metal/rock guy? or maybe the setup was as bad as it is now that i have it and they just didnt want the hassle? their loss, this thing kinda rules even if it's not playable.
