1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom (John Sykes Year) w/Maple Neck & Original Dirty Fingers. EVH Iconic.

I WANTED this guitar so badly. This is a 1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom. This is the exact same year that John Sykes has played his entire career. I'm fairly certain there were also original Gibson Dirty Finger pickups in this guitar because of how good it punched. I had the gain on like "10 O'Clock," and it just blistered. I'm going straight into the amp, busting out some Sykes riffs/licks. Playing through an EVH 5150 iconic and my buddy, Carlos was filming. He works at MusicGoRound in Greensboro, so go see him and the guys! Hate, I couldn't snag this one, but it was so cool to play it!

Believe it or not. This Gibson LPC had a Maple Neck just like John's. 😎
