68 Les Paul Custom Reissue in a very good weight for a Custom -- 8.7 pounds! In excellent condition with a fantastic neck. Comes with all the case candy.

Played for a total of a few hours, selling to thin the herd and have fewer guitars to maintain. The only thing to report I could find was a small ding at the back that was caused by a guitar strap buckle. It was incredibly hard to picture in black.


From Gibson:
The 1968 Les Paul Custom stood apart from its 1950s predecessors in a few significant ways. Instead of a solid mahogany body, it now had a solid maple top on a mahogany back - adding the clarity and bite that many rock guitarists sought. It also came standard with two humbuckers as opposed to three, providing additional picking clearance. And lastly it had a 14-degree peghead angle for reduced string tension. This set of features instantly became the new standard for the Les Paul Custom model, which has been produced continuously by Gibson ever since. This 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue was designed to be the final say in historical accuracy, tone and feel. Every detail and spec was meticulously revived by the skilled artisans at Gibson Custom Shop to provide an amazing, life-long vintage ownership experience."
