Description
Gibson Custom Shop has created small batches of sparkle-finish guitars in the past, but never before have the finishes so perfectly matched the inlay colors like in this limited-edition Les Paul Custom Abalone Sparkle series.

All the gleaming, vibrant colors of Abalone come alive through these five coordinated metal flake finishes.

Under the hood, all the classic Les Paul tone and Custom Shop construction you expect is present, making it every bit the pro-level instrument as it is a museum-caliber statement piece.
Inspired by a dark, starlit night -- this limited-edition Les Paul Custom features shimmering metallic sparkles throughout its pitch-black finish, as well as unique reverse multi-ply binding and a crystal headstock logo "dot" for added bling.

While it is sure to light up under stage lights like a moonless, star-filled sky, it is sure also to provide all the sonic nuance and power that makes the Les Paul Custom model famous.
