This Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom 68 Reissue is an incredible instrument. In 2015, improving upon their legendary Historic line, the Gibson Custom Shop has achieved obsessive detail and accuracy by studying the materials, manufacturing techniques and specifications of original vintage instruments. From new plastics composed of the original vintage spec material, to the double carving of tops and necks to ensure vintage accurate profiles and dishing, these True Historic reissues are about as close as it get's to owning a real vintage instrument. A new finish process with time-intensive wet sanding by hand completes the package, delivering an instrument that not only looks authentic, but feels and sounds so too. Capped off with all hide glue construction and extensive setup process, the new True Historic line captures the essence of our favourite vintage pieces and creates a new era of golden age instruments just waiting to be discovered. Due to the time-intensive labour and old world manufacturing processes, True Historic models are extremely limited in production. Complete with original Custom Shop Lifton style hardcase, certification booklet, original Custom Shop medallion and all the case candy.  A beautiful '68 Les Paul Custom reissue freshly built in 2026 in the Gibson Custom Shop. I’ll let the pics tell the rest of the story.
