Recommended second-hand item!
We've got a highly recommended pre-owned 2002 1968 Les Paul Custom Authentic in CA (Custom Authentic) finish! Its jet-black ebony finish and chrome accents evoke the rock spirit of the guitar.

The Les Paul Custom, the guitar of choice for men!
Standard isn't good enough! It has to be custom! The Les Paul Custom is a model so beloved that even the most enthusiastic custom fans can be heard saying, "I can't get it!"

Although production of the Les Paul Custom ceased around 1960, it regained popularity in the late 1960s when it was seen in the hands of top musicians. Production finally resumed in 1968, along with the Standard. While retaining the design from 1960, the body construction was revised, adopting a plain maple top and mahogany back, and changing from the three humbuckers prevalent in the 1950s to a two-humbucker configuration. The result was simple operability and a sound character with a very distinct, edgy character even when distorted, which is now known as the signature tone of the Les Paul Custom.

The shiny fretboard with block inlays features ebony and a one-piece mahogany neck wood. The now-rare ebony fretboard produces a sharper, tighter sound than a standard LP, and even when the gain is increased, it produces a masculine tone with good projection, without sounding too crushed, as is typical of HM/HR guitars! It's also popular with those who enjoy hard-edged distortion!

We've got a highly recommended pre-owned 1968 Les Paul Custom Authentic from 2002! It features the CA (Custom Authentic) finish, a matte, cloudy finish that's considered a precursor to the VOS finish.
The Les Paul Custom's most popular color, a jet-black ebony finish, features matte aging on the parts. While the "Custom" typically has gold hardware, this model features chrome hardware, a unique touch!

The Burst Bucker 2 and 3 pickups were selected for this guitar! As an aside, the Historic Collection 1959 Les Paul Standard also featured Burst Bucker 2 and 3 pickups! The following year, in 2003, the Historic Collection 1959 Les Paul Standard had a minor change to Burst Bucker 1 and 2 pickups!

The overall condition shows small scratches and dents, scratches on the buckle, dull paint, scratches on the pickguard from playing, and dull parts, but none of these will affect or affect playability.
We have fully maintained and cleaned this product, so it is ready to use right away.
There are some unevenness in the binding on the entire neck and in the wooden parts due to wood shrinkage over time, but this does not affect or affect playability.
As is common with older Gibson guitars, the selector knob has been replaced.

The frets have been filed and are ready to use. There is approximately 75% remaining. The nut has also been adjusted. There are no issues with using it as is. The truss rod can also be adjusted normally.

The electrical system has been fully checked and there are no problems with operation.
It weighs approximately 4.56 kg, and is balanced to produce a solid sound.

Accessories include the original black hard case and key.
The certificate is out of stock.
