HOLY CRAP! These things are INSANELY Good! Got the MALACHITE today. Pics coming. A must see!

A heavy, hard rock maple top on a lightweight mahogany body can take a Les Paul to new sonic heights. The combination has been a custom-order secret recipe, and this "Rock Top Les Paul" Gibson Custom limited run is uniquely constructed with some of the densest Eastern Maple top woods in the world, highlighted by several breathtaking "hard rock" color inspirations and all True Historic construction & parts.

'That's True Historic Construction and Parts folks!' I'm so excited I almost pee'd myself!:rofl
