The first image of the new Epiphone Adam Jones Berserker variation of the Silverburst Les Paul Custom has surfaced online. It is the latest release and follows on from 2022’s The Veil of Bees artwork from the first run.
UPDATE 14/02/23
As predicted it is now officially released as of 14 February 2023. Again, as with The Veil of Bees version, The Berserker is limited to only 800 guitars worldwide.
My review of the previous model can be read here where I compare it to my original Gibson 1977 Les Paul Custom.
The official Epiphone video is below along with a review of the new guitar.
Be quick if you want one, as some EU dealers are already out of stock and the last run sold out worldwide fairly rapidly.
MSRP – $1299

UPDATE 09/02/23
Looks like they are shipping the Epiphone Adam Jones Berserker now.
Berserker
After the 2022 announcement of the Adam Jones Art Collection series of Epiphone Silverburst Les Paul Custom models, we knew that the Berserker by Frank Frazetta was the next image in the series.
2nd Release
Each batch of guitars is limited to only 800 models worldwide and the first run sold out within hours all around the globe. The 2nd release is due around 14 February and some dealers are already taking deposits it would seem.
You can see the latest artwork below, along with the Adam Jones Art Collection control cavity plate.
Art Collection
Each of the 7 releases features a piece of artwork on the back of the Les Paul Customs Each piece of art was chosen by Adam from artists including Mark Ryden, Frank Frazetta, Julie Heffernan, Korin Faught and Ernst Fuchs. Therefore, we know there are 5 more releases with artwork to come and one final release with a plain back and no artwork.
Let me know in the comments section if you have ordered yours yet and did you also but The Veil of Bees model? I’d be interested to know if many people will try to buy one of each and get a complete set.

Hi there!
I’m very excited for the Beserker, but I’m also interested in the No-art back version that you mentioned.
Is that still just rumored to be at the end or has there been confirmation of it yet?
Supposedly, the plain back will be the final release. Though, no “official” confirmation of this yet.
I wonder if the final no artwork version will also be a limited run
Yes, I would like to collect all of the guitars that are in the series! Who is offering a deposit on the guitars? Please let me know!! Which means they will get one!
