Yeah, cream is my #1 choice but I told them white is ok just in case they can't do cream multi-ply binding for the custom since it's usually white. Just want it to match haha

I tried to M2M a Johnny A and was told they're not making any archtops at all

I’ve been trying to order an M2M Les Paul since June, I decided this weekend to try to throw something together so I could see if it actually looked as cool as I’ve been picturing in my head!I started out just going for an R4 but once I asked for the 5-piece neck I realized it would look way better with back binding so now I’m going for a Custom. Fingers crossed they can make me an alnico staple pickup with cream (or white) plastics!! Only ever seen pics of black ones out of the factoryWhen I was asking about the standard they said flat out “no” to an ebony board with the split parallelogram inlays. But I’m hoping that now it’s a custom they’ll do it!There’s a lot of mismatched stuff in the mock up because I had to Frankenstein it using bits and pieces of other guitars I found on google images haha. But it’s nice to get a rough idea of what it might actually look like! The pictures I have are too big to be uploaded to the forum, so here's an imgur link! https://imgur.com/a/68wMCl7

Saw one in real life and thought it was super cool, kind of want to get my Les Paul refinished in that colour! Love how much it changed depending on the light, goes from bluish to greenish. I know it's the same paint code from a 1958 car but I'm not finding anything that looks right so far edit: here's a caption that @gibsoncustom wrote on an instagram post about this guitar: Here's another fun small limited run from the Custom Shop -- the Oxford Gray 1958-spec Les Paul Standard. Custom color options from leading auto industry manufacturers became highly fashionable in the late 1950s, so we picked one such color from a 1958 chart which had never been seen on a Gibson before. The result is positively stunning! Use the link in our profile for specs and pricing info for this and all current limited edition models.
