What Gibson Custom collection would be complete without a Pearly Gates Les Paul? This run occurred in 2009, where Gibson painstakingly recreated every nuance of the original '59 Les Paul belonging to Billy F. Gibbons, of the one and only ZZ Top. This Pearly Gates is the VOS version, and includes the original case along with Gibson certificate of authenticity. It's in overall excellent condition, and the top on this one is especially nice looking!
