Gibson Custom Limited 68 Les Paul Custom Ebony Top Gold Back Light Aged 605668

The 1968 Les Paul Custom marked the return of one of Gibson's most iconic solidbody guitars, introducing a new era for the "Black Beauty" while preserving the elegance and authority that made the model legendary. This Gibson Custom Limited Edition takes that celebrated design a step further with a stunning Ebony Top and Gold Back finish, paired with Murphy Lab Light Aging that recreates the look and feel of a well-preserved vintage original.

Built with a carved maple top over a solid mahogany body, this Les Paul Custom delivers the powerful midrange, articulate attack, and singing sustain that have defined the model for decades. The long neck tenon, Authentic 1968 neck profile, ebony fingerboard, and premium construction provide the feel and resonance expected from Gibson's highest level of craftsmanship.

A matched set of T-Type humbuckers captures the crisp top end, focused midrange, and tight low-end response associated with late-'60s Gibson instruments. Finished with nickel hardware, Kluson Waffleback tuners, multi-ply binding, and classic Custom appointments, this Limited Edition is an exceptional recreation of one of Gibson's most sought-after eras with a finish that stands out in any collection.
