Today’s Les Paul Custom is based on the model from the mid-1950s, but with several modern appointments. The body is crafted with a hand-carved maple top, which is fitted to a body made from a solid piece of mahogany with strategically routed holes to lessen the weight of the guitar, resulting in a Les Paul with enhanced acoustic qualities and improved resonance.

In this photo, one can see Richards with a Gibson Les Paul Custom. [Gibson](http://www.gibson.com/News-Lifestyle/Features/en-us/keith-richards-0502-2011.aspx) writes : "By 1966, Richards was using three-pickup Les Paul Customs (the so-called “Black Beauty”). He had four, at least. He first used one in ’66, but that was stolen on tour in 1967. He purchased a new one in London, and this one was later painted by himself and then-partner Anita Pallenberg. It is now apparently owned by a U.K. guitar collector. So why did that one go? Various stories say Keef gave it away or forgetfully left it in a Canadian guitar shop. He bought two new Les Paul Customs for the Stones’ 1969 tour, and used one for open-G tuning on “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and “Street Fighting Man” (live), the other in standard tuning. Both these Black Beauties were reportedly stolen from Nellcote in July 1971. Bad luck or simple carelessness? By ’73, Keef was still using a ’54 Custom for “Midnight Rambler” on The Stones’ ’72-73 tours. The Rolling Stones’ Rock and Roll Circus film shows Keith rocking one of his early LP Customs."

An extra knob located in the midst of the stock controls is a nine-position rotary switch that allows for single-coil/humbucker and out-of-phase options. The mini-toggle switch selects between series and parallel operation."

> “Around 1974, I walked into a store in Westchester, Pennsylvania, and saw this and another Custom with P-90s hanging on the wall and asked if I could play them. Phenomenal! I asked if they were for sale, and the guy said, ‘Not really. Keith Richards’ roadie brought them in for fret jobs about two years ago and no one ever came to pick them up.’ I told the guy that since the work was not paid for, he could invoke a mechanic’s lien, where you send the owner a letter saying that you’re entitled to be paid for your work, and that if you’re not, you can sell the instruments. I asked the guy to send a registered letter to the Stones’ label, which he did, and then a few months later he sent another one, neither of which they responded to. So the guy was free to sell the instruments. I once had to take a pickup out to fix something, and out came a matchbook from the Bag O’ Nails in London, which is a club where the Stones used to play.”

What was your first guitar? A Les Paul. I can’t remember how old I was. I got a job and saved my money until I had $500. Two months after that, I met Kerry [King], and that’s how Slayer got started. I worked in an office building at the time, and this other band practiced in one of the rooms. After work, I’d go hang out with those guys and play, just to learn the instrument. Kerry was actually trying out for that band, but we were more in tune with one another, musically speaking, so we decided to start a group. He also played with Tom [Araya] in another band, and he knew a drummer that lived on his block. So it all just fell together.

Mike’s current main squeeze is a 1985 Gibson Les Paul Custom that he bought in his hometown of Chicago at Rock N Roll Vintage. Since acquiring the guitar, he dropped in new pickups—a high-wound Lollar Imperial in the bridge and a standard Lollar Imperial in the neck. Sullivan goes with D’Addario NYXL .011–.056 strings and tunes this one to a DADGAD variant—C#-G#-D-G-C-A#. When it comes to picks, he’s been loyal to the Dunlop Max-Grip Jazz III since he found some inside a box for an Andy Timmons pedal. Sullivan’s backup is this ’81 Gibson Les Paul Custom (with the original pickups) and is reserved for songs in A-A-D-G-A-D tuning including a new song off 2016’s Guidance called “Afrika.”

Daniel Johns bought this Gibson Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar (ebony finish) in late 1997, and it was used for some Freak Show shows in Drop-D tuning and most notably the 1997 Recovery TV show (clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPfu9IeJlvw). Now tuned in Open Db: (Db-Ab-Db-Ab-Db-Db) and used for Emotion Sickness, Without You, Paint Pastel Princess, and Spawn Again since Neon Ballroom tours.

You’ve been around for so long. How have you seen the development of your gear? Have you been changing and adopting to what’s been in the market and do you keep track of that stuff? Not at all (laughs). The thing is, I’m very conservative and traditional. I’ve played the one guitar I always wanted to play, let’s put it like that. I’ve done the Gibson Les Paul customs for many years now and I play them through a Marshall amp, which I think is the most classic and the best-sounding combination you can get. But then again, new gear is coming up. We’ve also used the Kemper amps a little bit for practical reasons and also when the regular amps break down, which they do. The Kemper amp is a really good solution and substitute for it. But like I said, I’m very conservative. All I really want to have is a Gibson, a wah and a Marshall. - See more at: http://metalassault.com/Interviews/2014/12/16/in-flames-guitarist-bjorn-gelotte-talks-touring-gear-more/#sthash.9eHhRyYV.dpuf Multiple References on youtube and wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B6rn_Gelotte https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSXHETQt57o

He says, "'When I was 16, I got my first real guitar, which was a black Gibson Les Paul Custom, and it was like a dream come true,' Mendez remembers. 'I come from a background of liking a lot of the harder rock stuff. Growing up, a lot of the artists I listened to used Gibson: Slash, Zakk Wylde, Led Zeppelin. To me, it’s like the classic hard-rock guitar.'”

"This is a 79 Gibson Silverburst which has actually turned a sort of green color...it sounds amazing," says Matt Skiba, at 3:07 in this gear tour video.

Knowing his preference for vintage gear, this Custom is also most likely vintage (especially considering how much it's yellowed).

"Mainly a 1957 black Les Paul Custom, my Firebird, a Chet Atkins guitar for the Spanish guitar bits, a Guild 12-string acoustic and a 1951 Telecaster. I used my Blade for all the rhythmic parts plus the lead sound on Rayo di Bala, which I was very pleased with. Nearly all the solos are played on a Marshall head straight into the desk, not using a speaker."

The Stratocaster remains one of Asheton’s primary guitars today (“..because of the whammy bar, and that good, clean sound it gets with wah-wah, that biting, hurts-your-ears sound”), but he also owns three Guild X79s (“It had the good pickups, and it just barked“), a Gibson SG Junior, and a 1969 Gibson Les Paul, which has “great sustain – but if you’ve got it on for a couple hours, it gets heavy on your shoulder,” he said.

The "Fretless Wonder" of which Ric Referrs to in the interview is better known as the Gibson Les Paul Custom in guitar circles. "Guitars? My favorite ones are always Gibsons. Fenders like the Jaguar I'll use on stuff like 'My Best Friend's Girl.' clicky stuff where I'm lust playing eighth notes. The Gibsons I like for more distorted, bigger, raw kinds of sounds." One of them is a '54 Fretless Wonder; the others arc mostly late 50s and early 60s Les Paul' TV models he picked up on various Cars tours. Curiously, Ocasek's guitars all come in red, white or black finishes except for a lone acoustic Martin. "I can't use a guitar with a natural finish. I don't like the look of wood guitars." Whatever their color, they all go through a 50-watt Marshall amp. Everything else is plugged straight into the board.

A.J. is seen playing a custom Les Paul in this image.

"So, continuing to rummage through the junk under the bed, I pulled this out. It's a Les Paul Custom I acquired sometime in the late 80's. According to the Guitar Dater serial number lookup thing, it was made in Nashville on August 19, 1983 (Production Number: 3) - more info than I needed, probably, but kind of fun to know. I've heard people say that all the post-Kalamazoo Les Pauls were "weight-relieved" or "chambered", i.e. they had huge hunks of wood hacked out of them to make them lighter, and I agree that that seems like a terrible, terrible thing to do. But there's no way this particular one was "relieved" in any way. It's crazy heavy, shoulder-destroying heavy, the heaviest guitar I've ever lifted, the guitar equivalent of a medium sized anvil or a set of encyclopedias. So I guess some specimens must have escaped the chambering. It was my main guitar for a couple of years there in the late '80s/early '90s, after my old SG's neck snapped off. (I had it repaired but looking down at the scar made me sad.) Then when I got the white Junior in '91 or so I immediately retired it, partly because of the weight, but mainly of course because pretty much nothing could compete with a Les Paul Jr. from 1957, funky though it always was. I gotta say though, this thing is solid as they come and hasn't suffered at all from being bashed around by a guy who didn't know how to play for a stretch and then neglected, forgotten, and stored under a bed for 25 years. Been playing it all morning (through that old Mesa Boogie Mark IV I used to use back then) and it's a stout dependable beast, all the sustain you'd want, and a great tone considering the fact that it has those humbuckers. Plus, if I were ever to have to face a horde of marauding Viking warriors on stage, I know the guitar I'd choose as a shield. Sturdy, man."

"Playing a solo on my favourite guitar! It's a 74' Les Paul custom with @zakkwyldebls model @emgpickups! I've played this guitar on almost every recording I've ever done!"

Clearly seen here, Aaron uses a Gibson Les Paul Custom.

In [this article](http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/Interview_James_Williamson_Return_to_the_Raw) on the making of the Stooges' album *Raw Power*, Williamson's gear at the time of recording is explained as such: "Armed with a 1969 Gibson Les Paul Custom driving a Vox AC30, as well as a Martin D-28 acoustic—the latter two of which he borrowed from the studio—Williamson dove headfirst into the recording process. Although he hadn’t previously tried the Vox-and-Paul combo, he was delighted after plugging in. 'That driving sound on the record is a combination of the way I play and the sound I was able to get with the combination of that instrument and that amp. It’s definitely a good sound.'"
