Justin Hawkins

We see his Les Paul Custom in white at 0:39. He explains: "I've got the white custom...exquisite. I think every generation has a white custom player, and I'm not saying I'm that guy, but I certainly wanted to be when I started playing them!"

For "I Believe In A Thing Called Love", Hawkins used the Pignose PGG-259.

Justin Hawkins is known to own multiple Gibson "The Darkness" 1968 Les Paul Custom guitars, including a pink sparkle and a gold model, crafted by Gibson's Custom Shop.

In the "musicradar" article, describes and shows Justin Hawkins debuting the "Gibson Dark Fire Les Paul", back in 2008, when touring with "Hot Leg".

Justin is seen playing an Epiphone Les Paul Standard, for both "I believe in a think called love" and "Growing on me".

This guitar was used before The Darkness got famous, and it is visible in this excerpt, which broadcast on UK Horizons. The guitar once more appeared in 2019 MusicRadar interview.

On Burns' website, Hawkins is mentioned as the user of the Burns Jet-Sonic.

In this 2012 photo of Hawkins, he is visible playing the Gibson Hummingbird Pro guitar.

Justin can be seen playing this guitar at multiple points in the music video for 'Open Fire' Notably at: 1:17

In his YouTube series "Justin Hawkins Rides Again," Justin Hawkins frequently uses the Charvel Super Stock SC1 Ltd. Edition guitar, as seen in the episode titled "Honestly? What's The Point Of Yungblud?"

In his YouTube channel Justin rages against the state of music, the lack of guitar solos and how some hipster in a £600 gucci jumper isn't rock because there's no guitar solos, while demonstrating why on his Martin Backpacker.

This guitar was used by Justin Hawkins in 2010 on Meat Loaf's Hang Cool Teddy Bear.

Justin uses this guitar for the theme/intro of his YouTube channel, Justin Hawkins Rides Again, and it is in every video from what I have seen

in this video (and many others on his channel "Justin Hawkins Rides Again) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWddIpgyyfE you can see him play his Gibson Songwriter Deluxe Custom (or Standard).

Currently (End of Oct 22) there is the exact same guitar as Justin plays it for sale on Reverb - labeled as "Gibson Songwriter Standard" built in 2004 - it is sold from Japan by Ishibashi Music so maybe the one with the bigger prick guard was a special run for Japan. Beautiful guitar.

Could add the item by adding the Reverb link - so here it is
