Eddie Van Halen’s Gibson Les Paul Custom (White)

Brand: Gibson

In 1978 at what looks to be one show, Eddie Van Halen was seen using a Gibson Les Paul Custom in white (Most likely a Norlin era but unknown). The guitar had 3 of the 4 knobs equipped and toggle switch removed, and a DiMarzio Super Distortion or Mighty Mite copy in the bridge with a stock pickup with a cover in the neck.

It is unknown what happened to it or where it came from but it was used in the tour at least once.
