These Gibson Les Paul guitars feature a special figured maple top especially selected for the Pearly Gates models with a faded heritage cherry sunburst finish. They’re loaded with Seymour Duncan® Pearly Gates humbuckers that deliver Billy Gibbons’ sweet yet slightly rude tone, with great sustain and a bright top end that makes harmonics jump out of the guitar.

The Pearly Gates is outfitted with nickel hardware, gold top hat knobs, vintage Kluson-style tulip tuners, and a lightweight aluminum string-over stopbar for customizing your string setup. The one-piece mahogany neck with a 1959 rounded profile also sports the same long-neck tenon found in every Les Paul Standard from Gibson’s Golden Era. The guitars also have period-correct CTS potentiometers and bumble bee capacitors.
