The Gibson Custom Shop PSL ’68 Les Paul Custom 3 Pickup in 3A Nordic Blue is a striking reimagining of one of Gibson’s most iconic and luxurious solidbody designs, blending vintage accuracy with Custom Shop-level craftsmanship. Built around a classic mahogany body and capped with a beautifully carved 3A quilt maple top, this instrument delivers the unmistakable Les Paul weight, resonance, and sustain while offering a visually arresting depth and movement beneath its gloss nitrocellulose finish. The Nordic Blue color accentuates the quilted maple figuring, giving the guitar a refined yet boldly modern presence that still honors its late-’60s roots.

The mahogany neck, carved to a substantial ’68 Standard profile (.89"–1.03"), provides a confident, authoritative feel that appeals to players who appreciate vintage neck shapes with real substance. Paired with a smooth, fast ebony fingerboard, the playing experience is both precise and luxurious. Elegant abalone block inlays and a matching Custom abalone headstock inlay reinforce the Les Paul Custom’s reputation as Gibson’s “tuxedo” model, combining visual sophistication with professional performance. With 22 frets, a 24.75" scale length, and a 1.687" nut width, this guitar offers familiar playability that feels instantly comfortable while encouraging expressive phrasing and articulate note definition.

Tonally, this Les Paul Custom is powered by three ’68 Custom GPC humbuckers, delivering a wide palette of classic and aggressive sounds. From thick, singing lead tones to rich, harmonically complex cleans, the triple-pickup configuration offers expanded sonic flexibility without sacrificing clarity or punch. The traditional 2 Volume, 2 Tone control layout and 3-way selector switch allow players to shape their sound with precision, while the iconic Tune-o-matic bridge ensures rock-solid intonation and sustain. Premium gold waffle-back tuners complete the package, offering smooth tuning stability and a vintage-correct aesthetic.

Designed for discerning players and collectors alike, this Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom arrives with a hardshell case, underscoring its status as a true heirloom instrument. With its meticulous construction, bold visual character, and unmistakable Les Paul power, the Gibson Custom Shop PSL ’68 Les Paul Custom 3 Pickup/3A Nordic Blue (LPC68PSL16492) stands as a commanding tribute to Gibson’s golden era—crafted to inspire on stage, in the studio, and beyond.
