The Story

1968 Les Paul Custom Authentic Ebony 2003

Custom Authentic finish (which pre-dates the VOS finish). The guitar has an ebony finish, factory Grover tuners and nickel hardware, and is in great shape with minimal playwear to be seen on it. The body has been buffed out a bit to have a glossier look than other Custom Authentics. There are some small dings on the guitar. Pots have been upgraded to Bourne, and includes the original hardshell case with Gibson paperwork and a Custom Care kit.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case, Custom Care Kit, Gibson Paperwork
