Buzz's Les Paul Custom

[thor]

Thought I'd share. Even though I'm primarily a bass player, I've always had a hankering for a real Gibson Les Paul Custom. Black Beauty to be specific. And if I truly could design my own, it would have the Super 400 (Supreme Inlays). As a happy coincidence - Buzzo bought one in 1991 (as it was a limited custom shop run back then) and there were 249 other ones made I think. He used it heavily before switching to the aluminum guitars he plays currently. So, after years of searching, I finally have found and bought one just like Buzz's!!! I'm Blessened.

The guitar is from 1991, it and Buzz's are both a part of a limited Custom Shop run of 250 guitars. This one has some nicks and dings on it that are on the back, but overall it's in great condition for a 26 year old guitar.

I would wager it's in better condition than Buzz's guitar, as I've seen one interview where he complains that the airlines have broken the neck on a few of his LPCs while touring. (And had it repaired multiple times)

I got it online at a popular auction website, I wont say how much I paid for it, but Gibson Les Paul Customs are $$$ in the guitar world.

Nice, very nice.

That is a badass axe. Dings and dents only make them sweeter in my opinion. Congrats on the score!

oh and...last summer I picked up a Hillbish design clone of the classic SUNN PB-10 preamp that Buzz uses....and now Buzz bought one from Hillbish too. I racked it with a Crown poweramp like Buzz - all I need now is some cabs like he has...haha.

Great...now all you need are a couple hits of acid and a Mu-mu. 

[thor]

haha, never the mumu.
