Personal Thoughts
The 2015 Les Paul Custom in Alpine White is a true icon of style and performance. This one stands out with its timeless elegance and the modern durability of a Richlite fingerboard, known for its smooth, glassy feel and low maintenance. The combination of the 490R/498T humbuckers gives it that classic Les Paul punch — smooth, warm cleans and thick, cutting overdrive. The Chrome hardware against the Alpine White finish makes it a show-stopper, whether on stage or in a collection. The slim-taper neck profile offers fast, effortless playability, making it suitable for players who prefer a sleeker feel.
