Hi all, I took my father-in-law to see ZZ Top last month at the Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre for a surprise 65th birthday present. I knew that Pearly has been retired from touring and all of the recent YouTube videos I've seen of Gibbons lately have been him playing his custom Telecaster, SG, or custom Goldtop with decals. I was quite pleasantly surprised (as someone too young to have seen the Rev play Pearly live in person) to see the Rev pull out a burst Les Paul Standard to play slide for a searing seven minute rendition of Just Got Paid Today. I'm afraid I didn't grab any good photos, but he seems to be making regular use of it this tour, based on the following video from Berlin a couple months back:
The colour looks like an iced tea fade, the top is pretty plain, poker chip is missing but no tan line, and the bridge double white is uncovered. Any word on this guitar? I assume its not a real vintage Burst, but a custom shop job of some kind? Anyone got any details?
