For sale is a Gibson Custom Shop 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue in the classic Black Beauty finish, factory aged by Gibson. This is a 2017 model and comes complete with the original brown Custom Shop case and all case candy, including the Certificate of Authenticity, warranty card, and original tags. This guitar has the look, feel, and tone you’d expect from a Custom Shop ‘68 reissue, with tasteful factory aging that gives it a broken-in vintage vibe right out of the case.

Condition: Excellent overall condition. The wear you see is factory aging from Gibson, not damage. The guitar has been well cared for during my ownership (approximately 3–4 years) and is in great playing shape with no issues. Sounds amazing.
