Artist usage

Trevor's use of a Goldtop Double Cutaway Gibson with P-90s has been well documented with pictures. This is his primary guitar. This picture is from their Coachella performance on April 23, 2016. The guitar he uses clearly said Custom on the truss rod cover, but I haven't been able to find any info around the web about a Custom Double Cutaway with P-90s.
