The Story

'68 Les Paul Custom Ebony Custom Authentic 2003

This is a very lightly used and in excellent overall condition 2003 Gibson Custom Shop '68 Les Paul Custom finished in a 'Custom Authentic' Ebony. The finish is "Custom Authentic", which is a precursor to VOS, where the finish is dulled down from a full gloss and the nickel hardware is given a bit of patina for light aging. The original hardshell case and certificate of authenticity are included.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case and Certificate of Authenticity
