Rare 2011 'What-If'-style Les Paul Standard from the Custom Shop; featuring '57 spec neck with a Bullion Gold top & a single piece mahogany back yet with a late '50s style humbucker in the bridge - negating any option of a neck pickup (this bridge pickup is seriously all you'll ever need). Like a '50s Junior meets a '50s Standard that has all the playability of a modern Custom.
