Up for sale is a Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom 68 reissue guitar (s/n: 065478) with super duper 5A Quilt Maple Top.  I think this was made in 2006.  This guitar has one of the best quilt maple top in my 25 years of guitar collector life.It is in near MINT condition.

The neck has a round C profile, quite similar to 50’s neck.  As you can see from photos 17 and 18, the neck joints the body with a long neck tenon and a pair of 57 classics pickups.  The fingerboard is ebony.  There is almost no fret wear.  However, there are 2 minor dings that’s shown in the last 2 photos, but nothing major.  All the gold hard wares are still luster shine.

The guitar body was not weight relieved (10lbs), to me that’s essential for delivering the classic Les Paul sound.  It comes with the certificate of Authenticity, all the case candies that were shown in the auction photo and the original Gibson Custom shop hard case.
