You are looking at a 2008 Gibson Les Paul Custom in Alpine White, a finish so cult-classic it doesn’t just wear gold hardware — it leads it. This is the guitar equivalent of kicking a spotlight stand over, launching into a solo, and discovering you were the headliner all along. The ebony board and mother-of-pearl blocks give it that immortal black-and-white contrast, and the chrome-gold Grover metal bells? They shine like cufflinks on a leather jacket… Randy Rhodes-style. Not subtle. Not polite. More like: “Quiet is not in the tour rider.”
This isn’t just a Les Paul Custom. This is Flying V attitude trapped in a Les Paul tuxedo.
She’s all original and ready to rock!

She is just about to celebrate her 18th birthday and has been played but not abused. She’s in very good shape, sporting l small surface impressions and areas of finish discoloration that honestly make it look less like aging and more like she spent a summer touring the armor section of a Renaissance fair as the main attraction. The color fade brings a legit “Randy Rhodes cool factor” — a battle-tested-but-still-glam mythology vibe that somehow makes you want to play Crazy Train even if you’re tuning to jazz. This isn’t wear. This is history with an endorsement deal pending.
While the certificate is gone, this does include the original case and some case candy, just as shown in the last picture. Whoever brings this baby home is gonna be completely STOKED!!
LET’S GO!!
