Some nice guitars here.
While I love to see woodgrain on a guitar, I'm a sucker for an ebony coloured Les Paul Custom.

Here's Mine-

I also replaced all the hardware (with black, as you can see) and installed a Duncan Jazz/JB pickup set. Needless to say, it was an expensive project...
Well that's just not fair! I love it & I sure would like to see Gibson offer that finish option.

Re: The Les Paul CUSTOM Beauty Pageant!!!
My turn, an 1989 Custom with a blistered maple top, might be kind of hard to tell from the pictures just how much figure the top has.

1970 Custom. Her name is Xylene, she likes blues, jazz, country and rock. Her talent is making me sound competent.

Anyhow, the same rules apply in this thread as in the LP Standard beauty pageant thread. No bashing, but discussion is welcome.

I'll go first. '83 Les Paul Custom, all original (except the Blackouts and electronics obviously, and straplocks):

Better quality pics than the forum can be found here: ImageShack Album - 8 images
Never thought I would say this about a LP, but I LOVE that trem on there! Is it a real Kahler or the Gibson/Kahler? Nut lock isn't a Kahler for sure... Love Kahlers. Project ultimate shred machine in my brain with one. Just need the finances... Hmmmmm...

With all due respect...... I completely disagree. I've played newer Epiphones that absolutely smoke! I don't think they're putting out garbage at all.... in fact, the newer Epis are better than ever.

Maybe the b-stock gets shipped to the store I usually go to , that's the only place I ever play epis.

It has gibson stamped onto it but it's definitely a real Kahler... It's a Kahler supertune. The guitar is all original except for the things I listed lol, so that nut is definitely Kahler, according to Gibson at least. And thanks .

Nah I don't think so. There are still tons of more entries to come, and this thread isn't really for picking out winners, it's more for the discussion of and admiration of these beautiful guitars. You're more than welcome to say which one you think looks best thoug,h but remember that taste is subjective

I really like this one!!!

It's like a Tri-Burst..... but it's a tear drop burst unlike the tri-burst '68 RIs coming out lately. I like this one much better!!
