The Story

1968 Les Paul Custom Ebony Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged 2024

This is a barely played and still in excellent condition '68 Les Paul Custom Reissue by the Gibson Custom Shop and given an Ultra Light Aged treatment by the Murphy Lab. The guitar has little to no playwear on it and includes the original case and Gibson COA!

One of our absolute favorite years for the Les Paul Custom: 1968! This is a Custom Shop '68 Reissue finished by the Murphy Lab with an Ultra Light Aged Ebony color. The '68 Custom is a guitar which stood apart from Customs of the 50s in some significant ways. The guitar has a solid maple top on a mahogany body to add clarity and bite, two humbucking pickups, and a 14-degree headstock angle for reduced string tension. The nickel/witchhat knobs combo is a classic late '60s into the '70s look. The Ultra Light aging package includes a light patina on the gold hardware and intricate lines of checking across the body, but no dents, dings or areas of bare wood.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity
