There’s just something about a White Les Paul Custom… 🤍🎸

I can’t quite put my finger on it, but they just have a presence that other guitars don’t. Maybe it’s the Alpine White finish paired with gold hardware, maybe it’s the history, or maybe it’s the incredible players who made them famous.

This 2021 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom in Alpine White is an absolute killer. Huge Les Paul tone, fantastic sustain and a nice full neck that feels substantial without being overly chunky like some ’59 profiles. Super comfortable to play and seriously sexy in white.

White Les Paul Customs have been used by some absolute legends including:
🔥 Randy Rhoads – Ozzy Osbourne / Quiet Riot
🔥 Ace Frehley – KISS
🔥 John Sykes – Whitesnake / Thin Lizzy
🔥 Steve Jones – S*x Pistols
🔥 Billy Duffy – The Cult
🔥 James Hetfield – Metallica
🔥 Tom Scholz – Boston

This example is in very good condition with only minor marks from normal use.

✔️ Gibson Custom Shop
✔️ Alpine White finish
✔️ Original Gibson hard case
✔️ Booklet & paperwork included

A seriously cool Custom Shop Les Paul that captures everything people love about the legendary Alpine White Les Paul Custom.

🔥 Rare Left-Handed Gretsch 6120 🔥

A seriously hard one to come by in left-handed form.

This beautiful Gretsch has had a Bigsby vibrato fitted, finished in nickel plating, while the rest of the hardware remains gold plated. The bridge has also been changed to match the Bigsby. Importantly, no holes or permanent modifications have been made, so this is purely cosmetic and easily reversible if desired. It most likely originally came with a Cadillac “G” tailpiece.

Features thumbnail side-loaded inlays and presents in very good condition, with little to no cosmetic wear. The frets are virtually unused, suggesting the guitar hasn’t seen much play time.

✅ Original Gretsch hardshell case
✅ Original paperwork included
✅ Extremely hard to find left-handed model

A fantastic opportunity for Gretsch collectors or left-handed players chasing something a bit special.

🔥 Tokai Love Rock Standard – Made in Japan 🔥

Absolutely gorgeous MIJ Tokai Love Rock Standard and one of Tokai’s higher-end models. This guitar plays and sounds amazing and really shows why the Japanese Love Rocks are so highly regarded.

The flame top is subtle and classy, with a beautiful bookmatched top that comes alive in the light. Plugged in, it sounds huge — everything you want from a great Les Paul-style guitar (or should we say Love Rock 😉).
Premium build quality, premium materials, and serious tone and sustain. At its price point, it’s a very hard guitar to beat.

Condition is excellent overall, with only a few very minor marks and some light belt marks on the back — purely cosmetic and nothing extreme.

A killer example of Tokai’s high-end Japanese craftsmanship 🇯🇵🎶
