The Story

1968 Les Paul Custom Silverburst Ultra Light Aged Gold Hardware

This is a fun one! A Zoo-spec'd Gibson Custom Shop Made 2 Measure 1968 Les Paul Custom in Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged Silverburst with gold hardware. The 1968 Les Paul Custom was 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. This Reissue is authentic in every way, including the Waffleback tuners, gold hardware, two '68 Custom humbucker pickups, and the witch hat knobs! The '68 Custom is definitely the guitar for the discerning Les Paul Custom player.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags and Paperwork
