Here's Tool jamming out to The Pot using some backup gear and no FX, as they prepare for their 2022 tour.

Is that a Standard he’s using?
There’s no binding on the headstock.

Hard to tell what's on the front side, but from the rear it looks like one of his Silverbursts, which are LP Customs from the late '70s, early '80s.

Take a look @3:14 until the end.
He turns to the left and it appears to not have the binding on the headstock.

Interesting. Actually, I think see the glint of a bolt-on neck plate too. So you may be right. It's backup gear, so maybe a standard or some other model he has laying around for practice. I wonder what amp he's using. Sounds pretty good to me!

Here's the back of one of the silverbursts I used to have:

Didn't he tease an Epi or lower end Gibson model thats suppose to be in the works? Maybe thats it?

Very cool. Great bands sound great, no matter the gear.
That riff is my most played one, when no one’s home and I can unleash the 72Trem.

if i was to take a guess its a silverburst les paul classic. i think they came out around 2010. it looks pretty silver to me compared to the green of the "real ones"

Very cool?

With the neck plate it could be one of those old Gibson Sonex models. They made them in silverburst.

Sonex-180 silverburst?

They sound great even without their full setups. Love Adam Jones but I never get tired of watching Danny Carey play drums.
