Up for sale is a Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom with a custom art - Old Glory (American Flag) custom paint job - air brushed. This was done by a professional from a High End Major Guitar manufacturer here in California. The original paint underneath it is a Gold Top. If you are a relic guitar enthusiast then you can choose to sand it so the gold color underneath will pop out or show in places where you want. Otherwise, if you are a collector, patriot or appreciate this kind of art then you can leave it as is. The guitar looks gorgeous and is one of a kind. It plays and sounds great as well with the Gibson Burstbucker Pros pick ups that were installed to change the 57 Alnico stock ones. This guitar got complimented by the audience during the times it was played sparingly.
The guitar has some minor pick swirls, minor dings, and very minor belt buckle worming in the back, but nothing major. It is still in excellent condition and the frets have no wear.  Please feel free to ask for more high resolution pics.I take great care of all my guitars and I have plenty of high end ones and this is one of them (please see history of sales from my feedback). I just sold another Knaggs a while back and the buyer was very happy. Stored in a climate controlled room. Hate to see this go but I really need to thin the herd per wife's request LOL! This is from a non-smoking home. This guitar plays really well, feels well, looks great and sounds great.
Please feel free to ask for more detailed pictures or any questions. Thanks!

From the Gibson Website: Les Paul Classic Custom When guitarist and inventor Les Paul conceived the Custom model in the mid-1950s, he envisioned it as a “black tie” guitar suitable for the most elegant occasions. In the years since then, the Les Paul Custom has come to represent all of that and more. The most dressed-up of the Les Paul production line, the Custom is nevertheless a full-bore rocker, suitable for the heaviest riffs you want to throw at it, while still excelling on the blues, jazz, pop or fusion stage. The Les Paul Classic Custom from Gibson USA stays true to its heritage, keeping the unique touches that make it stand out at a price players will appreciate. Featuring premium tonewoods and top-flight appointments, this is an instrument of astounding beauty and surprising versatility. With all the legendary power of the Les Paul Standard, and a Custom look that stands out from the crowd, the Les Paul Classic Custom is available in your choice of five stunning high-gloss nitrocellulose finishes: Antique Natural, Goldtop, Cream, Wine Red and Ebony Black, all with chrome-plated hardware for a look that is subtly elegant. As with the best Les Pauls crafted since the early ’50s, the Les Paul Classic Custom starts with the legendary tonewood pairing of a solid carved maple top glued to a mahogany body. Marrying maple’s clarity and definition to mahogany’s richness and depth produces a tonal complexity that no single-wood guitar has ever matched. Its resonance and sustain are only further enhanced by the deep-set quarter-sawn mahogany neck with 17-degree back-angled headstock. Optimum playability is ensured by a slim, comfortable neck profile that measures .800” at the 1st fret and .875” at the 12th. The guitar’s 22-fret fingerboard is made from Baked Maple, a heat-treated hardwood that offers a clear tone and extreme durability, and inlaid with acrylic block markers, enhanced by a mother of pearl Gibson headstock logo and acrylic split-diamond inlay. To ensure that all of these constructional features translate to the purest, richest tone possible, Gibson loads the Les Paul Classic Custom with a pair of '57 Classic humbucking pickups (changed to Burstbucker Pros on this guitar), routed through the traditional four-knob and three-way switch control section. Made with genuine Alnico II magnets and wound with enamel-coated 42-AWG wire just like the hallowed PAF pickups of the late 1950s and early '60s, the '57 Classics yield creamy warm tones in the neck position and plenty of growl and snarl in the bridge, with funky, round tones in between. A pairing of Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece ensure solid sustain and accurate intonation, while a set of premium Grover kidney-button tuners make tune-up a breeze. Each guitar comes protected in a black hardshell case with plush lining, and includes an owner's manual and adjustment literature, and is covered by Gibson's Limited Lifetime Warranty and 24/7/365 customer service.
