2005 Gibson Custom Shop ’68 Les Paul Custom – Ultra Rare (#2 of 4 Made)

An exceptionally rare 2005 Gibson Custom Shop ’68 Les Paul Custom, with only four examples ever produced—this one being #2. A true collector-grade instrument that also delivers the legendary Les Paul Custom sound and feel. The pickups sound iconic, full, and authoritative, with rich lows, smooth mids, and a singing top end that defines classic Gibson tone. Whether clean or driven, this guitar responds beautifully and has all the depth and sustain you expect from a Custom Shop build. Condition is Very Good, with light oxidation on the gold hardware in common contact areas, consistent with age and normal use. Overall, this is a very nice, well-preserved guitar that balances playability, tone, and rarity.

A genuinely rare opportunity to own a scarcely seen Custom Shop Les Paul—ideal for collectors and players alike. COA Included! *shiny black guitars reflect a lot of light. Any light patches or "white" areas are reflections form the window or lighting*

Comes with the original case and candy as shown. (133)

Condition, Shipping, & Setup Details:

I specialize in selling pre-owned guitars, which typically show signs of regular use. My commitment to quality is unwavering, and I ensure that any guitar I offer for sale is free from problems, unless explicitly mentioned. With a history of selling guitars dating back to the 1980s, I pride myself on selecting only the finest instruments.

It's important to understand that our shipping fees encompass more than just the cost of the box. I guarantee professional packaging using UPS-approved materials to safeguard your purchase. This typically includes new, heavy-duty boxes rated at 275lbs, 3-inch wide brown fiberglass reinforced tape, ensuring the guitar is well-protected. Additionally, every guitar shipped is fully insured for its sale price.

The guitars are set up according to my personal preferences (Medium Height), and I strictly avoid guitars with neck issues. However, guitar setup is highly subjective, and it is advisable to have it adjusted by a trusted local technician who understands your specific playstyle and preferences.
