Personal Thoughts:
You don’t see tops like this often—this is true boutique-grade figured maple. The 7A Quilt top takes an already iconic silhouette and turns it into a centrepiece. The Rust Burst finish perfectly accentuates the grain, and the classic Les Paul Custom appointments keep it grounded in vintage appeal. It’s not just eye candy either—loaded with Custom Buckers and hand-wired electronics, this thing snarls, sings, and sustains just as you’d expect from the best of Gibson’s Custom Shop.
