Epiphone, one of the leading brands in musical instrument construction, announced Adam Jones Les Paul Custom Art Collection, an unprecedented limited edition collection curated by Adam Jones of Tool, which brings together Adam's love of fine art and music with seven iconic and unique Les Paul Custom Silverburst masterpieces including the artwork by five distinguished visual artists carefully selected by the guitarist. The Epiphone Adam Jones Les Paul custom art collection is now available worldwide in limited quantities from authorized Epiphone dealers and www.epiphone.com.
The seventh and final guitar to debut in the Adam Jones Les Paul Custom Art Collection unveiled today features “Queen Bee” by artist Mark Ryden on the back of the guitar. Combining pop culture themes with the techniques of the old masters, Mark Ryden blurs the traditional boundaries between high and low art in a new genre of “pop surrealism.” You can learn more about his art, here .
