This is a 2024 Gibson Les Paul Custom 1968 Historic with all the historic 68 specs an and the famous Silverburst finish. The pickup covers are included. The guitar was not played much, but does have a wear spot on the side of the neck (see detail picture). The guitar comes with papers and original case. The weight is 4,2kg.

"The 1968 Les Paul™ Custom stood apart from its 1950s predecessors in several significant ways. Instead of a solid mahogany body, it introduced a solid maple top on a mahogany back—adding the precise clarity, upper-mid bite, and sustain that rock guitarists demanded. It also came standard with a 14-degree peghead angle for reduced string tension and two humbuckers instead of three, providing maximum picking clearance.

Meticulously revived by the artisans at the Gibson Custom Shop, this 1968 Reissue represents the pinnacle of historical accuracy, tone, and vintage feel. Dressed in the striking, iconic Silverburst nitrocellulose lacquer finish (available in premium VOS or Murphy Lab aged treatments), it features a solid ebony fingerboard, authentic mother-of-pearl block inlays, and a long neck tenon fitted with hot hide glue for seamless resonance.

Driven by a pair of dedicated 68 Custom Humbuckers and hand-wired CTS® pots with Black Beauty capacitors, this Custom Shop masterpiece delivers the authoritative punch, deep lows, and crystalline note definition that cemented the '68 Custom as an all-time rock legend."
