Bimal's trusty Gibson Les Paul Custom has been with him since 1983, when he bought this new guitar; it was actually made in 1982, and features a mahogany body with maple top, a mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard. All of the inlay work is mother-of-pearl, and the hardware is gold plated. This guitar has travelled all over Britain and Europe with him, and has been used in hundreds of concerts and performances. He has often said that he would rather sell his house than part with this guitar! We suspect his wife wouldn't agree with that!! You can get more details about the Gibson Les Paul Custom from the Gibson Custom web site.
