2000 Gibson Les Paul Standard. This guitar was owned and played by Dan Hawkins of the Darkness.
The guitar was refinished in white at some stage as Gibson did not make white standards. This was also Pimped by Lady Gaga on one occasion where she started putting Swarovsky crystals on the edges for a show and then apparently got either busy or bored. You can hear about the story here from Dan’s guitar tech, go to 08:40 if you want to just go straight there:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkVFZ3T4vkA
