The Story

'68 Les Paul Custom Reissue VOS Ebony Gold Hardware

A Les Paul Custom for a new decade! This is the Gibson Custom Shop 1968 Les Paul Custom, 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
