Count’s Kustoms Les Paul Build

Model/Frame: Wishbone Hardtail
Color: Custom Paint by Ryan Evans: "The idea was to emulate the four most popular colors for the Gibson Les Paul; ebony, ivory, sunburst and the gold. The paint accents incorporated throughout were the ivory the ebony that frames out the exterior of the guitar. The mother of pearl on the rear fender is the exact mother of pearl fret inlays for the custom line guitar models. The tank portrait of Les Paul himself was one in a frame of gold leaf filigree to idealize and immortalize Les."
