Tool fans are no doubt used to seeing Adam Jones rockin’ his awesome Les Paul Silverburst guitar:

With one of the most beautiful guitar finish ever, the Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom (Limited Edition ) was popular a few decades back until the original finish was discontinued by Gibson because of tonal problems it caused. Luckily, the guitar is coming back in style after being popularized by Jones.

So what do you do if you’re jonesin to get your hands on this baby?

If you don’t feel like shelling out $3,000 +for a new one (or much more for one from the 70’s and early 80’s), you could content yourself with Epiphone’s custom Silverburst, which retails at around $600. I like how the Epiphone’s silver pattern goes to the edges of the guitar on all sides rather than the standard teardrop finish. However, when I checked it out in person at a local Guitar Center, the finish struck me as a little dingy looking, the silver seeming almost yellowish at the edges…

So for now, comfort yourself with this kickass wallpaper:
