: : : This is the guitar I want, so if anyone has it for sale, (mint condition) I am interested. Does anyone know which year of the silverburst did Adam Jones of Tool play. If I can't locate a good one, I guess I will have the Custom Shop make one. I wonder how much that will cost me?

: adam jones favors his 1979 silverburst
Adam played 1978-1985 Silverburst Les Paul Customs. Gibson cut production of them short early on, because people complained that the metallic paint used to finish them made them sound weird, so you'll be hard pressed to find one.
