Gibson Custom Shop 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged Ebony

1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged Ebony Item Description

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, Hang Tags and Paperwork
