Les Paul Guitar
The 1968 Les Paul Custom stood out from its '50s predecessors in several important ways. Instead of a solid mahogany body, it featured a solid maple top, adding the clarity and bite that many rock guitarists were looking for. It had a 14-degree rollover angle to reduce string tension. This feature set instantly became the new standard for the Les Paul Custom model, which has been in continuous production by Gibson ever since. This 1968 Les Paul Custom reissue was designed to be the last word in historical accuracy, tone, and feel.

Presentation
The Gibson 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue Gloss Ebony is a meticulous recreation of a legendary model, designed to capture the sonic essence, timeless style and legendary sustain of the 1968 original.
This guitar is a faithful tribute to one of Gibson's most iconic instruments, meeting the expectations of guitarists who seek both authenticity and modern performance.
The solid mahogany body, topped with a two-piece maple top, offers deep resonance and rich sustain. The smooth ebony fingerboard, adorned with mother-of-pearl block inlays, guarantees exceptional playing comfort, ideal for complex chords and fluid solos.
The 1968 Medium C neck profile, coupled with the glue-on-the-hide joint and long tenon, provides impeccable playability and an optimal connection between the neck and body.
The 68 Custom Humbucker pickups, carefully calibrated for this model, deliver a dynamic and balanced tonal palette. These humbuckers capture the warmth and power characteristic of the Les Paul Custom, while offering exceptional freedom of expression thanks to their precise positioning.
Hand-wired controls, including 500K CTS pots and Black Beauty capacitors, ensure a rich and versatile tone.
The ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece provide perfect intonation and tuning stability. Kluson Waffleback tuners ensure precise tuning, while Witch Hat buttons add a vintage touch to the overall aesthetic.
Finished in a high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, this reissue boasts timeless elegance with its multi-ply black pickguard and gold hardware. Complete with a Custom Shop hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity and historic accessories, the Gibson 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue Gloss Ebony is a piece of craftsmanship that pays homage to Gibson’s golden age while being ready to write new pages in rock history.
