“Black Beauty” – this term alone is enough to make many guitarists' mouths water! Of course this has to do with iconic musicians such as Keith Richards, Neil Young, and above all Jimmy Page, who have all been seen on international stages with a jet-black Les Paul Custom for a long time. So we are delighted to present a beautiful reissue of the legendary '68 Les Paul Custom today, which impresses across the board with its special features. It does not have the extremely strong “Chunky C” neck profile of the '57 reissues, but rather charms with its medium “Modern C” neck, which fits fantastically in the hand and is extremely comfortable to play. in combination with a perfect weight of only 4060 grams. Furthermore, specially wound '68 Custombuckers are used here, which as expected deliver a fat Rock sound at the bridge and singing lead sounds at the neck. Straightforward Rock sound with a great tone, perfectly balanced with enormous bite! Fast response, super attack, great frequency spectrum. Smacking sound with tight bass and just the right amount of treble! At the same time these pickups are also super differentiated and wonderfully disciplined with clean sounds, so you can enjoy every single note. Of course the significant details associated with a Black Beauty are also present, starting with the golden Kluson waffleback tuners, the stylish ebony fingerboard with beautiful block inlays and the witch hat knobs that are a distinctive visual detail of the '68 Custom. What's more, the Paula's deep dark ebony gloss finish combined with the gold hardware gives it that legendary, classy look! Except for minimal signs of wear we can offer you this iconic gem, which is the perfect combination of look, sound and playability, including the frets in top condition.
