Rob's Brand New Used 2016 Gibson Les Paul 50's Tribute Project:

Here's a pic taken just now on my brand new S7. I'm still trying to get the photos smaller so bear with me....I hand painted 'CUSTOM' on a blank truss rod cover. Thinking gold letters - or maybe a brand TRC - might look better????

Some have said it is the ugliest Les Paul they have ever seen. To me, its unique.

Thoughts???

That actually looks good the way it is! I bet it even looks better in person. Nice outdoor shot.:) It matches the theme of the guitar since the sides and back are black. Give it a few days and it will grow on you.;)

^^^^^^ This is the color gold I wanted....but, I needed enamel. Stewie-Mac only had lacquer.

Oh, Man..I am happy to hear that.... :-)

the original satin black didn't bother me, but it was the horrible quality of the paint from the factory that bothered me. If you look at this guitar up close, it looks like it was done by a custom paint shop. It does not look like a spray can, but the original black lacquer looked awful.
