There’s something undeniably great about Les Paul Customs and this mint condition ‘68 Custom reissue from 2022 ticks all the right boxes. Reasonably lightweight for a Custom, with a low slinky action and a pair of fantastic sounding 68 Custombucker pick ups, this guitar oozes style and class.

Original '68 Customs now command premium prices on the vintage market and are highly sought after due to their pre-Norlin era specs - one piece mahogany body and neck with no volute as opposed to the three piece mahogany, and later maple, necks with a volute and the 'pancake' body constructions that followed, not to mention the increase in weight which can make '70's Customs amongst some of the heaviest guitars ever made.

So this Custom Shop creation is an exact reissue of the original '68 spec Custom. The build quality and quality of the materials is just about as good as it gets from the Gibson Custom Shop. This guitar exudes quality and the highest level of craftsmanship. Weighing in at 9lb 7oz it's also relatively light for a Les Paul Custom.

The neck has a very nice comfortable medium C profile which coupled with the low action makes for effortless playability all the way up to the higher frets. The combination of the maple cap along with the '68 Custombucker pick-ups (based on the original Pat No T-Tops) delivers plenty of bite and snap to top off the underlying fat Les Paul tone. This guitar can cover a lot of tonal bases from clean almost Tele like clarity to full fat rock n roll and everything in between.

If you've been looking for a '68 Custom reissue here is a chance to get a mint condition example from 2022 for considerably less than a new one.

Comes with the original case, Certificate Of Authenticity and all of the case candy.
