The Unofficial Wiki shows Customs having a maple cap. That is not true for all Epiphone Customs, the only maple on my Custom Plus is the veneer, the cap is the same "mahogany" as the back. The only other Custom I have ever checked personally was a 2007 Qingdao Ebony, the top was "mahogany" as well.

The Epiphone website for the now discontinued Custom lists it as having a full "mahogany" body and cap.

The only differences in current Custom Pro's and the later Qingdao Custom's are the ProBucker Pickups and push/pull pots.

The Custom Pro is also listed as having a Maple Veneer Top, not sure what to make of that as they are only available in Ebony and Alpine White.
