Gibson Custom Shop 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged Ebony
One of our absolute favorite years for the Les Paul Custom: 1968! This is a Custom Shop ’68 Reissue finished by the Murphy Lab with an Ultra Light Aged Ebony color. The ’68 Custom is a guitar which stood apart from Customs of the 50s in some significant ways. The guitar has a solid maple top on a mahogany body to add clarity and bite, two humbucking pickups, and a 14-degree headstock angle for reduced string tension. The nickel/witchhat knobs combo is a classic late ’60s into the ’70s look. The Ultra Light aging package includes a light patina on the gold hardware and intricate lines of checking across the body, but no dents, dings or areas of bare wood.
