Gibson Les Paul Junior - hyde (L’Arc〜en〜Ciel)

3D Model

This is the customized 1956 Gibson Les Paul Junior that hyde (L’Arc〜en〜Ciel) uses on stage since 2019. It uses a similar design to the custom ZODIACWORKS guitar he’d been using until then (and sometimes still does).

We created the model using this article as a base, and then tracked down the accurate specifications of the Les Paul Junior model and the hardware that was custom-installed to use for reference.

The hardest part was the art plate on the front - we started by using all the sections we could from photos, but ended up redrawing the entire thing by hand, and then filling in all the parts that were not properly visible on photos.

Made with Blender, Substance Painter and Photoshop.
