These 'Silverburst' Gibson Les Pauls were made from '79 to '82 and reissued by the Custom Shop a couple of years ago. They have become quite sort after even though they come from a relitively 'bad' period in Gibsons illustrious history.

Gibson has finally confirmed the highly anticipated signature Les Paul Custom for Tool’s Adam Jones! The Silverburst model has already become a collectors’ item, so this signature is going to be hugely popular – even without Jones’ name associated to it.

- Aug 19, 2017 Hello In November 2016 I bought a Les Paul Custom in silverburst. As I have no experience in serial numbers, I hope some of you can tell me anything about the guitar/serial number. Serial number: CS 601955 I bought it new, so Im the first owner.

I think the new Gibson Custom Shop recreation of Tool’s Adam Jones’ 1979 Les Paul Custom Silverburst is going to be huge. After all, the guitar is synonymous with the man and his jaw dropping guitar skills.

I’m a fan of everything about this release. OK, I’ll stop gushing soon, but my main Gibson Les Paul is a black ’77 Custom and it is my favourite Gibson by far. I own a few Custom Shop and standard US models, but this old ’70s dinosaur is the best by a long way.
For me, not being a Gibson ’50s purist, I love the snap of the three-piece maple necks combined with the maple cap common for this era. Hand on heart, I’m also a big convert to the neck volute, which I know many players baulk at. But for me, this is what a rocking Les Paul Custom is all about. Plus, The Cult’s Billy Duffy rocks one and he knows the score.

Yup, this new Adam Jones signature model has me squealing like a little girl, but we probably won’t see one until later in the year. But to have it officially confirmed is fantastic news and one that I am sure all Tool fans are looking forward to.
We know he likes old ’90s Seymour Duncan Distortion pickups and huge frets, so expect the specification of this new signature model to follow suit. After all, he owns six original Silverburst models all with similar setups. Roll on 2020! I can’t wait for the release of this little beauty. Until then, you can soak in the band’s FearInoculum album to tide you over.
I would suggest you all keep an eye out on Instagram, Gibson.com and Tool’s official site for further announcements on this one.

Earlier this year, I told you about a Gibson Adam Jones signature Les Paul Custom. Time for an update: the guitar has now entered production, witnessed by the body blanks that have appeared on Tool’s Instagram account.

The Instagram post on the band’s official page speaks a thousand words – we couldn’t have better proof than these shots of body blanks with the “AJ” marked on them. You can clearly see the double binding of a Les Paul Custom as well.

We expect that Adam’s Silverburst Raylectron. will be shipping fairly soon – perhaps as early as this summer. Mr Jones played the original 1979 guitar on all of the band’s albums and also on stage, so a lot of Tool fans will be pleased to finally see Gibson recreate this legendary guitar. I suspect it won’t be cheap, but since original Gibson ’70s Silverburst models are already pretty expensive, it will be welcomed by enthusiasts and fans across the guitar world.

I’m really looking forward to seeing exactly how close the Silverburst finish is to the originals. Will these guitars be aged to look like Jones’ guitar? Or perhaps Gibson will offer both new and we see new and aged versions…

Tell us what you think in the comments section below. I’d be interested to know what fans and Gibson players think of this upcoming signature model. Will it take as long to come out as Fear Inoculum did? I hope not!
