BOTB 138 refers to "Burst of the Bubble" (BOTB) specifically referencing the famous book "Beauty of the 'Burst" by Yasuhiko Iwanade, which documents vintage 1958–1960 Gibson Les Paul Standards (also known as "Bursts").

In this book, each photographed guitar is numbered. BOTB 138 means that this custom guitar's finish and top were inspired by or are a recreation of the Les Paul shown as number 138 in that book.

So BOTB 138 is a visual and tonal reference to that specific vintage Les Paul Standard from the "Beauty of the 'Burst" collection — likely a highly flamed maple top with a unique faded burst look, depending on what #138 represents in the book.

This is common with Gibson Custom Shop guitars aiming to replicate famous or beloved vintage Burst finishes.
