The Gibson Custom Shop Limited Edition 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue in Light Aged Ebony is a meticulously crafted recreation of one of Gibson's most distinctive and coveted Les Paul designs. Built with a mahogany body and maple top, this instrument captures the imposing presence and unmistakable character of the original late 1960s Les Paul Custom. Its Light Aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives the Ebony top a subtly worn appearance, while multi-ply binding around the top and back reinforces its unmistakable Custom aesthetic.

The solid mahogany neck features an Authentic 1968 profile and a long neck tenon, delivering the substantial feel and construction associated with Gibson's historic instruments. A 24.75-inch scale length, 1.69-inch nylon nut, and 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard provide a comfortable and authoritative playing platform. The fingerboard carries 22 medium-jumbo frets and elegant mother of pearl block inlays, completing the unmistakable appearance of a late 1960s Les Paul Custom.

A pair of 1968 T-Top Reissue humbuckers provides the voice, offering the focused midrange, articulate attack, and powerful character associated with Gibson's original T-Top pickups. The electronics feature two 500K CTS volume pots and two 500K CTS tone pots, connected through a hand-wired harness with Black Beauty capacitors. A three-way Switchcraft pickup selector and Switchcraft output jack provide reliable control and connection.

Historic appointments complete the recreation, including Kluson Waffleback tuners, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, stop bar tailpiece, nickel hardware, nickel pickup covers, and classic black Witch Hat control knobs. Black plastic parts and the traditional Custom styling further emphasize its period-correct character. Weighing 9 pounds 7 ounces, this limited-edition Custom Shop instrument comes with a Custom Shop hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity booklet, and historic reissue hang tags, making it a compelling tribute to the powerful elegance and unmistakable voice of the 1968 Les Paul Custom.
