The Les Paul Custom made its debut in 1954 after the initial success of the Les Paul Goldtop. Mr. Les Paul himself wanted to convey to audiences that the solid body electric guitar was not a fad but a superb and challenging instrument and that his signature axe, the Les Paul, was the king of all electric solid body guitars. So, Les requested a Les Paul with a custom color finish in solid white with gold hardware that would blend well with a tuxedo. The Les Paul Custom quickly became one of the most recognized guitars in the world. This guitar has a mahogany body, maple top, mahogany neck, Epiphone Pro Bucker pickups, and grover tuners. This guitar is in good shape. It has a few dings on the sides, but the front and back are very clean. Overall, still sounds great and in very playable condition. Does not come with a case.
