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. Just like the original instrument, the 1968 Les Paul Reissue features a solid maple top on a mahogany back for clarity and bite, two humbuckers and a 14-degree peghead angle for reduced string tension. For added vintage appeal, the 1968 Les Paul has been very lightly aged. A hardshell case is included for added protection and portability.
