"A Real Les Paul"

For the first time in 45 years I feel like I'm playing a real Les Paul guitar. This thing is heavy, has a long tenon, growls and barks like a junk yard dog when played thru my Marshall. The Black finish with gold hardware makes this guitar look vintage and classy. I have all kinds of Les Pauls but none feel like this beautiful beast. With this custom in my arsenal of Les Pauls, I have no desire to pick up my standards, traditionals, studios, or classics because they don't measure up to this awesome custom. Sure, my back hurts after playing this thing for three hours standing up but Im also 60 years old. If you don't have an Ebony or White Custom Les Paul in your arsenal then do what you gotta do to get one of these. They really do play like butter.
