The Gibson Custom "Bugs and Leaves" Les Paul Custom Art Electric Guitar is a breathtaking fusion of artistry and craftsmanship. This unique instrument is a testament to Master Artisan Rickie Hinrichsen's creative genius, blending natural motifs with classic design elements.

Each detail invites you to explore the art etched into this one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

Built on the iconic 1968 Les Paul Custom platform, this guitar is not just visually stunning but also resonates with the rich, full-bodied tones that define the Les Paul legacy.

The solid mahogany body is topped with a 2-piece plain maple top, enveloping you in a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity. A bound ebony fingerboard embellished with tortoise side dots and mother-of-pearl block inlays adds an extra layer of elegance, matched by black chrome hardware that completes the aesthetic.
