JIMMY PAGE LES PAUL CUSTOM W/BIGSBY
Early in Jimmy Page's career, one of his most relied upon guitars was the three-pickup 1960 Les Paul Custom "Black Beauty" with a bigsby tailpiece. In 1970, the guitar was stolen and never recovered, but thanks to the Gibson Custom Shop, this guitar is backing the form of a new Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom.

STEVE JONES LES PAUL CUSTOM
A white mid '70s Les Paul Custom with pin-up girl stickers has become one of rock & roll's most iconic symbols. The Gibson Custom Shop Steve Jones Custom is a recreation of this legendary instrument which is Gibson's tribute to one of rock's most unsung heroes, Steve Jones guitarist for the Sex Pistols and the guitar he used to make history.

LEE RITNEOUR ES-335
One of the world's leading jazz guitarists and winner of 17 GRAMMY nominations, Lee Ritenour was heavily influenced by contemporary jazz styles of Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass and Barney Kessel. He was a sought after sessions player in the mid '70s and now has his own distinctive sound & fluid style. The Gibson Custom Shop Lee Rietnour ES-335 is a recreation of his original guitar.

JOHNNY WINTER FIREBIRD
Since the 1960s, Johnny Winter has been cranking out some of the meanest & most spellbinding slide guitar ever recorded. For decades he has relied on one guitar- a 1963 Gibson Firebird V. The Gibson Custom Shop Johnny Winter Signature Firebird V is a recreation of his iconic instrument down to every last detail and is a tribute to a true blues master, and his most beloved guitar.

SLASH #1 LES PAUL STANDARD AGED & SIGNED
One of the most respected and iconic guitar players of all time, Slash has symbolized the power of rock & roll ever since blasting out of the mid-1980s LA club scene with Guns 'n' Roses. Armed with a Gibson Les Paul Standard, Slash revitalized the electric guitar with some of the most incendiary and melodic playing of all time, and became the new definition of a guitar hero. The new Gibson Custom Shop Inspired By Slash Les Paul Standard is a recreation of his #1 Les Paul Standard guitar played during his rise to superstardom, down to the authentic cigarette burn mark on the body, every detailed feature has been faithfully reproduced.

MICK JONES LES PAUL CUSTOM
British guitarist Mick Jones, who formed the rock band Foreigner, first broke into the music biz as a "hired gun" of sorts, appearing on recordings by George Harrison, Peter Frampton, Spooky Tooth, and the Leslie West Band. Foreigner's self titled album in 1977 became an immediate hit going platinum five times over. The Gibson Custom Shop Mick Jones Les Paul Custom is a recreation of his original Les Paul Custom joining the line up of our "inspired by" series.
