{"product_id":"10-2800005682793","title":"[SN 508898] USED Gibson Custom \/ Historic Collection 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue Gloss Ebony [10]","description":"The coveted \"Black Beauty,\" showcasing a jet-black gloss finish!\u003cbr\u003e \nThe 2025 Gibson Custom Historic Collection 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue Gloss Ebony has arrived!\u003cbr\u003e \nThe single-cut Les Paul, which ceased production in 1960, was revived in 1968 following a resurgence in popularity within the music scene of that era. This reissue model is a meticulous recreation by Gibson Custom of the Les Paul Custom specifications from that first year of re-production.\u003cbr\u003e \nUnlike the all-mahogany construction of the 1950s, this model features a solid body with no weight relief, combining a two-piece plain maple top with a one-piece mahogany back. The rich low-to-midrange and abundant sustain characteristic of mahogany are complemented by the clear attack and excellent projection of the maple top, producing the powerful rock sound that would be passed down to later Les Paul Custom models.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe solid mahogany neck features the Authentic ’68 Medium C-Shape, which offers moderate thickness while remaining comfortable to grip. Combined with the ebony fingerboard, it delivers quick attack and a tight response.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe guitar is equipped with two ’68 Custom humbuckers, as indicated by the “CS68 Aged 107130” sticker on the back. The front pickup delivers a lead tone with rich thickness and lustre that retains its definition, while the rear pickup produces a powerful drive sound with a sharp attack and bite.In the center position, the characteristics of both pickups blend in perfect balance, allowing you to enjoy a three-dimensional tone with clear separation between each string, even during chord play.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe wiring features a hand-wired harness equipped with Black Beauty capacitors. Details emblematic of late 1960s Les Paul Custom models—such as the ABR-1 bridge, stopbar, and Kluson Waffleback tuners—have been meticulously recreated.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe dignified appearance is exceptional, combining a Gloss Ebony finish with a lustrous nitrocellulose lacquer, multilayer binding, mother-of-pearl block inlays, diamond head inlays, and gold hardware. Although it features a Gloss finish, the pickups are genuine CS68s marked “Aged.”\u003cbr\u003e \nAlthough there are slight signs of use, such as scuff marks on the body, the guitar remains in beautiful condition.\u003cbr\u003e \nA 1968-spec Les Paul Custom with a crisp attack, tight bass response, and rich sustain. This is a guitar that allows you to fully appreciate the glamorous look of the “Black Beauty” and the exceptional craftsmanship unique to Gibson Custom.\u003cbr\u003e \nDon’t miss this opportunity to own it!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition Grade: B+: Some minor scratches, but no issues for normal use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: 508898\u003cbr\u003e \nYear of Manufacture: 2025\u003cbr\u003e \nCountry of Manufacture: USA\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Hard Case (Gibson Custom, Lifton Historic Hardshell Case, Les Paul, Black\/Goldenrod)\u003cbr\u003e \nAccessories: Certificate of Authenticity, Pre-pack Checklist (Date: 10-17-25), various tags, Gibson Historic Reissue LP Switchplate, HC key\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 4.24 kg\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: No issues; rod movement tested up to 60 degrees in both directions with no problems\u003cbr\u003e \nFret Wear: No issues; in like-new condition\u003cbr\u003e \nString Height (Low String Side): 2.0 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nString Height (Bass Side): 2.0 mm at the 12th fret String Height (Treble Side): 1.5 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nNut width: 42.85 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 1st fret: 22.7 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 12th fret: 25.9 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nScale: 628 mm (24.75\")\u003cbr\u003e \nRADIUS: 305 mm (12\")\u003cbr\u003e \nStrings at Setup: ERNIE BALL 2221 \/ .010-.046 set\u003cbr\u003e \nRepairs and Maintenance Performed: Cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, action adjustment\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, and other imperfections that are difficult to see in the photos or not listed here.
