Guitarists that played with a Gibson Les Paul custom

Joey Molland owned early 50's model Gold-Top Les Paul(cannot tell # of Pickups?)


(Band rehearsing @ Abbey Studio 3)

 

Not sure what year model this Les Paul is


Joey also played on '73 US Tour.

 

Ok, not a Les Paul Custom, but a customized Les Paul reminiscent of a Les Paul Custom.

 

Now for some '90s Brits:

John Squire


Noel Gallagher


Graham Coxon

 

So many posts in this thread are of Les Pauls which are not Customs. Isn't the OP's original question about Customs...? There's a pretty big difference to those familiar with the guitars. Maybe just stick to Customs...

 

Persons who didn't play a LP Custom Chet Atkins, James Burton, Albert King, Rory Gallagher,

 

does the diamond headstock inlay alone signify custom? I know that for the 60s black + split diamond does but what about later?

 

I suppose it's the easiest was of telling that a Les Paul is a Custom at a glance. As far as signifying that the guitar is a Custom, I guess you could say so, but it's no more a signifier than the block inlays and ebony (or ebony-substitute) fretboard or the control knobs. It's also on the early Les Paul SG Customs and the later (but virtually the same) SG Customs. It's on ES-355s and various other Gibsons. As far as Les Pauls go, though, I believe it's on all Customs, old and new (but am happy to be proved wrong).

In the picture that Groggy posted it's still a Standard neck.
Bolan did own a black custom:
