Matt Heafy

Matt Heafy talks about his Epiphone signature model Les Paul guitar in this video.

At 0:22 in this video about Matt Heafy's signature Dean guitar, he starts talking about the creation of this Dean Guitars manufactured signature series guitar. It is based on the Dead Guitar ML guitar, and he says "So I decided to take something I love, the ML, and basically hot rod it and customize it to my specs." Some of those specs include 24 frets, a carved away neck for maximum playability, one master volume knob, and an input jack on the side.

The black Gibson Les Paul Custom that was gifted to Matt Heafy by his father, which he used extensively on tour and to record all of Trivium's records until his endorsement with Epiphone.

Matt Heafy also uses 7 string Explorers as his main 7-string guitars of choice live before his endorsement with Epiphone.

He used it extensively live during his period with Dean guitars during the late 2000's and during instructional videos during the same era.

At 12:05 there is a title that states "Matt bought this guitar after filming!"

Named by @ihsahnofficial , made by @epiphone , I present #snøfall, the soon-to-be-released newest #mkh #lespaulcustom. This one is customized with @richterstraps #mkh, @evertune, @gruvgear, @jimdunlopusa strings/picks, @emgpickups.

He uses the 7 string version of his signature Epiphone Les Paul Custom in the video and shows.

He used a seven string version.

Playing with the guitar in 2009.

In this cover, Matt plays his Gibson j150 acoustic guitar.

He used this 7 string epiphone in very few gigs. This was in the shogun era just after they stopped playing Deans, so Matt didn't have any Gibson/Epiphone 7 string gear. I believe he got this temporarily until he got the Gibson 7 string explorer he used later in that era.
