Re: The Les Paul Custom
They should have put the "Classic" yellow inlays in it too.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

The way to deter conway from wanting your blue guitars is to make sure they’re gibsons.

Re: The Les Paul Custom
1974 Les Paul Custom 20th Anniversary.
Mahogany neck (3 piece), Pat No sticker/decal pickups, Ebony board, alloy tail piece, wired ABR, factory Grovers, neck pup vol pot freshly replaced as original had issues. Otherwise original, clean and fantastic to play....less than 10 pounds too!
Started to refret with the nibs intact - looked and felt silly due to the wide binding, just went with the normal over edge job.
