    Les Paul Custom Custom :)

    Also, here's one I custom painted for a buddies daughter. Chunky metallic purple burst. We ran purple flake over the black and up the neck/headstock as well. Certainly gets some comments when she takes it to school :)

    Les Paul Custom Custom :)

    I like to think of mine as a one off, but have at it! :D Would be interesting to see someone else's take on it.

    Les Paul Custom Custom :)

    3 pickups certainly makes a difference, but you can turn down the center one to get the normal G400 sound.

    Les Paul Custom Custom :)

    Thanks mate. I had just finished restoring an ivory one for a friend, and I always wanted to see how the blue/chrome combo looked. Plus I'm a huge fan of 'one offs' :D

    Les Paul Custom Custom :)

    The toggle switch is more orange than in the pic, and is standard for the LP custom.

    Les Paul Custom Custom :)

    I can't answer for others, but no rattle cans here :) Full on spray gear. Surface primer, metallic lacquer base with clear coat. Wet sanded and hand polished with metal polish.

    Les Paul Custom Custom :)

    LOL thanks. I always loved Pelham Blue, and I thought a custom would look great in that color.

    Epiphone SG400 custom 3 pickup (antique ivory)

    If you mean the Les Paul 'Custom', yes, they did it in black, white and antique ivory. Mine is custom painted in Pelham Blue (or as close as I could approximate without a valid paint code) :)

    G-400 Openbook headstock!

    Wouldn't the visible scarf joint give it away as a non Gibson though?

    The SOUND of the G400 Custom?

    I have a G400 Deluxe and a Les Paul Custom, and the Custom has a distinctly different sound with all 3 pick ups turned up. I love it. People say they really ring and I guess that's the best way to describe it.

    Les Paul Custom Custom :)

    Yeah, a Gibson is way out of my range too, but I only paid junk price for this because the body was in bad shape. I could have restored it back to antique ivory, but I decided to something a little different with it.

    Les Paul Custom Custom :)

    Hi all. I ended up with a basket case LP Custom, originally bought for the hardware as we were restoring another antique ivory one. Previous owner must have been completely ham fisted as it was covered in gluey fingerprints and screwdriver gouges. I ended up resurrecting the body and putting...

    Show us your Epi!

    Added a new pick guard to my relic. I think it's in keeping with the theme.

    Multiple serial numbers?

    Hi All, I recently bought a stripped down Epi SG400. Everything appears factory...the finish, pearl pick guard, inlays etc but when I reflect the light off the back of the headstock, I can see two serial numbers under the existing one. Has anyone else encountered this. I have tried to show...
