New Colors Added To Gibson Custom Color Lineup

Alpine White and Kerry Green are now available as part of our Gibson Custom Color Lineup.
Alpine White has been a mainstay for the past 40 years, commonly seen on Les Paul Customs and SG’s. It’s the closest thing we offer to a “stark white” lacquer.
Kerry Green was originally offered as part of Gibson’s 1963 Custom Color campaign. It’s most similar to Fender’s Surf Green finish though there’s more blue in the mix comparatively.
