The Les Paul with divine connections...​

 

Bought with the money and named after the car an old girlfriend sold, once she had landed a part in a movie in 1960, California, the Pearly gates is widely considered to be the most visually beautiful guitar ever made, with a tone to match.

 

At the heart of Texas Blues, Gibbons crafted 40 years of sreaming tones, with the Pearly Gates not far behind.
