Adam Jones formed the metal band “Tool” in the early 1990’s. The Atlantic wrote: “From the early ’90s to 2006, the foursome of Tool stood as a rock-and-roll epitome when rock and roll was a social average. In 2020, Gibson introduced a limited-edition custom guitar modelled after Adam Jones’ favorite guitar, the original Silverburst 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom. Gibson sold only 79 of these guitars, each signed and numbered by Jones. Rally’s #AJONES is a 1-of-1, prototype guitar reviewed and signed by Jones before these Les Paul Custom Guitars went into production.
