Ice Blue Metallic Les Paul Custom Style Guitar

The Ice Blue Metallic Les Paul Custom Style Guitar combines the classic elegance of an LP Custom-inspired design with a distinctive metallic blue finish and contrasting gold hardware.

Its cool, shimmering blue body is complemented by gold-covered humbuckers, a matching gold bridge and tailpiece, a black pickguard and traditional black control knobs. Decorative binding and large block fingerboard inlays complete the Custom-inspired appearance.

For players who love the familiar single-cutaway Les Paul design but want something different from traditional black, white or sunburst finishes, this ice-blue metallic version offers an attractive alternative.

Ice Blue Metallic Finish

The defining feature of this guitar is its beautiful ice-blue metallic finish.

Unlike transparent burst finishes that expose the figuring underneath, this model features a consistent metallic colour across the body. Its cool blue-grey appearance gives it an understated character, while the subtle metallic effect adds depth as the light catches the surface.

The finish is particularly effective alongside the gold hardware, creating an unusual combination of cool and warm colours.

Classic Les Paul Custom-Inspired Body

The guitar retains the unmistakable Les Paul Custom-inspired single-cutaway body shape, featuring a rounded lower bout, traditional upper cutaway and familiar LP proportions.

Decorative multi-line-style binding follows the perimeter of the body, providing a contrasting outline against the metallic blue finish.

These traditional design elements help balance the contemporary colour with the more established appearance of a Custom-style instrument.

Dual Gold-Covered Humbuckers

Two gold-covered humbuckers provide the traditional HH pickup configuration.

Their polished gold covers create a striking contrast against the metallic blue body and match the bridge, tailpiece and other hardware.

A three-way pickup selector positioned on the upper bout provides the familiar arrangement of neck pickup, bridge pickup and both pickups together.

The dual-humbucker configuration is a versatile choice for blues, classic rock, hard rock and other styles that benefit from the contrasting characteristics of neck and bridge pickups.

Black Custom-Style Pickguard

A traditional black pickguard provides another important visual detail.

Positioned beneath the pickups, it contrasts against the lighter metallic finish while complementing the black pickup surrounds, selector-switch surround and control knobs.

The pickguard also features a visible Custom-style marking, reinforcing the guitar's traditional LP Custom-inspired appearance.

Gold Tune-o-Matic-Style Bridge

The guitar features a gold Tune-o-matic-style bridge and matching stopbar tailpiece.

This traditional fixed-bridge arrangement maintains the familiar LP configuration while continuing the gold hardware theme established by the pickups.

The combination of metallic blue and gold gives this particular guitar a noticeably different appearance from the chrome-equipped grey and blue burst Les Paul models we've previously covered.

Traditional Four-Control Layout

Four black control knobs provide the familiar two-volume and two-tone configuration.

This arrangement allows separate adjustment of the neck and bridge pickups, retaining the traditional functionality associated with classic Les Paul-style guitars.

The black knobs contrast against the lighter body finish while matching the pickguard and pickup surrounds.

Dark Fingerboard with Block Inlays

The dark fingerboard features prominent large block-style position inlays, one of the defining visual characteristics of Les Paul Custom-inspired guitars.

Contrasting binding runs along the edges of the fingerboard, continuing the decorative appearance established around the body.

The combination of dark fingerboard, light inlays and metallic blue body creates a particularly attractive contrast.

Gold Tuning Hardware

Gold-coloured tuning machines continue the hardware theme at the headstock.

Matching the tuners with the pickups, bridge and tailpiece gives the instrument a cohesive appearance rather than mixing different metallic finishes.

It's a detail that works especially well on this model, where the contrast between ice blue and gold is central to its visual identity.

A Contemporary Take on the Les Paul Custom

Traditional Les Paul Custom-inspired guitars are frequently associated with black, white and other heritage finishes.

This version retains the familiar decorative appointments while introducing a more contemporary colour scheme.

Its ice-blue metallic body, gold hardware, black pickguard and contrasting binding create an appearance that remains recognisably LP Custom-inspired without looking like another conventional Black Beauty or Alpine White model.
