Artist usage
Add artist
Brad has this guitar, the Epiphone Les Paul Custom Plus, in two different colors: Vintage Sunburst and Heritage Cherry Sunburst. As you can see, this is the Vintage Sunburst. These guitars are in fact the same as an Epiphone Les Paul Custom, but these guitars have a flame maple top. Brad played this guitar quite a lot when he was still with Third Day. He also mentioned in an interview with Epiphone that if he would have to go on the road on a fly show and could only take one guitar, the antique white Epiphone Les Paul Custom would definitely be going, and probably his back up, (this guitar), which is an Epiphone Les Paul Custom Plus. Brad says he can just about cover anything with these two guitars.
