The one and only Gibson Les Paul Custom with Silverburst
finish. The silverburst finish ran for a limited time with Gibson. After
discovering that the finish eventually tarnishes to a opaque green, Gibson
discontinued the finish. The actual change in color effects the sound
of the guitar. This guitar has a much more brassy, muffled, twang sound.
Tool's Adam Jones and former Smashing Pumpkins' James Iha both play the
Silverburst. This guitar is priced around 3 grand, if you want, go ahead
and buy me one, because it is the one and only guitar of my dreams, yet
I lack 3 grand.
