Riptide Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Hey, I'm trying to figure out what model this guitar is that Ryan Mendez of Yellowcard uses. I wend to one of their shows last Sunday and it was bothering me because I couldn't place it. http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/mandycandie27/default/ryan-mendez--large-msg-117692327446.jpg
Riptide Posted November 19, 2011 Author Posted November 19, 2011 Do the Customs usually have mahogany or maple tops? Because I thought that most of them had mahogany but now that I'm looking at it it looks like most of them have maple ones.

Because I thought that most of them had mahogany but now that I'm looking at it it looks like most of them have maple ones. all depends on the year some where solid mahogany (no maple cap) but still had the carved top and some had a maple cap. I would advise buying an old custom rather than the new customs if your looking for a specific vibe.
AlanH Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Looks like a classic custom to me: http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/product/28558-gibson-les-paul-classic-custom-antique-ebony-.html Alan
Tim Plains Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 It's a Custom, not a Classic Custom. Nowadays, only the '57 Customs are all mahogany.

Thanks It was the piping around the body that made me think that. It looks gold on the photo the OP posted, although that's probably due to my dodgy eyesight. Did they make regular customs with gold piping? Alan

And I'm not planning on buying a custom.. I just like to know what guitar I'm hearing

Alan they age yellow, like a white les paul custom around too much nicotine
GuitarJunkie Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Quick edit except for the fancy binding, the diamond on the headstock and ebony fretboard the LP Custom shares the same parts as the LP Studio. Technically, it also shares the same parts as the SG, Explorer, Flying V, etc... What's your point?
Angellus Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Not unless those guitars have the same pups, My point is those two guitars sound the same going through a amp since they share the same wood and electronics with out the bling. So if the OP wants that tone a studio will do more than fine in achieving that tone. all the studio's in the stores I know are all chambered.....
mKwatra427 Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Most probably a Les PAul Custom. Almost definitely a Les Paul Custom.
