Slightly belated, but I managed to bag a bit of a bargain over Christmas - a 2010 (I think) Les Paul tobacco burst Custom from GuitarGuitar.
It's got a richlite fingerboard, which I was pretty skeptical about - but it plays beautifully. The neck is somewhere between a 50s and 60s as well, and feels great. Plus, it looks fantastic too
Did replace the Gibson pups with some Bare Knuckle Rebel Yells, which are silver instead of gold... but have some black and gold engraved Rebel Yells coming from the guys at Bare Knuckle in the next couple of weeks, which should complete the look.

You should have a custom shop certificate of authenticity in the case?
My head said brake, but my heart cried never.

As far as I'm aware all Les Paul Customs past a certain date (some time in the 2000s) have been from the Custom Shop. I'd also be really surprised if this is a 2010 and has a richlite board. They brought that in in late 2012.
Custom order Rebel Yells from Bare Knuckle!
