2000 Gibson Les Paul Custom Alpine White – Vintage Patina – Original Case

Up for sale is a 2000 Gibson Les Paul Custom in Alpine White, complete with its original Gibson brown hard-shell case. This is a beautiful example that has developed the kind of natural aging and patina players and collectors love. The finish has gracefully mellowed toward a creamy vintage hue, giving it that sought-after broken-in Custom look.

Built with a mahogany body and carved maple top, a mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl block inlays, this Les Paul Custom delivers classic tone and feel. It’s equipped with the original Gibson 490R (neck) and 498T (bridge) humbuckers for everything from warm, articulate cleans to aggressive rock tones.
