Pre Owned 2002 Gibson Custom Shop 1968 Reissue Les Paul Custom Ebony With OHSC
Are you ready for a Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul that is the pinnacle of the band? Here for you is this Gibson Custom Shop '68 Les Paul Custom in Ebony - as classy as they come! This one was built in 2002, has stayed in great shape, and is quite impressive.
The 1968 Gibson Les Paul Custom is the evolution of the original icon. It comes built to last, with a solid maple top on a mahogany back, giving you the articulation, bite, and sustain that many have sought this guitar for. This particular year gives you an instrument that comes with two humbuckers as opposed to three, providing additional picking clearance. With its 14-degree peghead angle you get reduced string tension. All of these features became the new standard for the Les Paul.
Crafted by expert artisans, the 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue from Gibson Custom Shop showcases unparalleled historical accuracy, exceptional tone, and an authentic feel. Meticulously restored details and specifications make for a truly remarkable experience.
This guitar is in excellent condition and has been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop. Everything is original, other than a replaced bone nut - we took the liberty on that, to get it to play just right. The original hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticiy is included.
Any Gibson Custom Shop guitar is special, but this '68 Les Paul Custom really stands out as a winner. We don't see it lasting long!
