The Gibson Custom Shop manufactured the LES PAUL CATALINA between 1997 and 1999. The Les Paul Catalina was finished in unusual colors which, together with their pearloid pickguards and truss rod covers, gave them a surf guitar vibe. The initial finish options were Canary Yellow, Cascade Green (turquoise blue), or the rarest of all Riverside Red. Later Black Pearl was also added as a finish option. The headstock of these models has a large circular "Custom Shop" banner logo. The Les Paul Catalina had a tone chambered semi-hollow body.
