This is a really striking Les Paul Custom and one that feels a bit more modern and eye-catching than the standard black route. The Trans Pink finish is the obvious headline feature, and with an AAA+ carved maple top it should give the guitar loads of visual presence without losing that unmistakable Les Paul Custom feel underneath. The spec is strong too. The chambered mahogany body should keep it a little more open and manageable in weight, while the ebony board, block inlays and Custom styling keep it firmly in that higher-end Gibson lane. I also think the 490R and 498T set makes a lot of sense here, as it gives the guitar a bit more push and bite than a lower-output vintage-style setup, which suits the bolder look really well. A very cool Dealer Select Custom Shop build and the sort of guitar that will stand out immediately.
