Description
The Gibson '68 Les Paul Custom Reissue Ultra Light Aged in Ebony is a Custom Shop guitar built around a construction spec that sets it apart from other Les Paul reissues: a mahogany body with a 2-piece maple top, paired with a solid mahogany neck and an ebony fingerboard, all joined with period-correct hide glue at the neck joint. That maple-over-mahogany combination gives the guitar more clarity and cut than an all-mahogany body, while the 24.75" scale and 12" fingerboard radius keep the response familiar to any player at home on a Les Paul. The '68 Custom Humbuckers are voiced to cover a wide range - the neck pickup delivers a warm, throaty response suited to blues and clean work, while the bridge pickup pushes into articulate, edged territory for harder playing styles. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged treatment produces soft nitrocellulose checking, lightly aged gold hardware, and a rolled fingerboard binding that replicates the feel of a broken-in vintage instrument, without aggressive cosmetic wear. At just under 9 lbs, this example sits on the lighter end for this model - a practical advantage for players logging longer sessions. The guitar ships in a Custom Shop hardshell case and includes Righteous Guitars' complimentary PLEK service and limited lifetime warranty.
