Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1968 Les Paul™ Custom stood apart from its 1950s predecessors in a few significant ways. Instead of a solid mahogany body, it now had a solid maple top on a mahogany back - adding the clarity and bite that many rock guitarists sought. It also came standard with two humbuckers as opposed to three, providing additional picking clearance. And lastly it had a 14-degree peghead angle for reduced string tension. This set of features instantly became the new standard for the Les Paul Custom model, which has been produced continuously by Gibson ever since. This 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue was designed to be the final say in historical accuracy, tone and feel. Every detail and spec was meticulously revived by the skilled artisans at Gibson Custom Shop to provide an amazing, life-long vintage ownership experience. It features Ultra Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape\u003cbr\u003eLes Paul\u003cbr\u003eTop\u003cbr\u003e2-Piece Plain Maple\u003cbr\u003eBack\u003cbr\u003e1-Piece Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eBinding\u003cbr\u003eMulti-ply\u003cbr\u003eWeight Relief\u003cbr\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003eFinish\u003cbr\u003eNitrocellulose Lacquer; Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged\u003cbr\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003eMaterial\u003cbr\u003eSolid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eProfile\u003cbr\u003eAuthentic '68 Medium C-Shape\u003cbr\u003eScale Length\u003cbr\u003e24.75\" \/ 628.65mm\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material\u003cbr\u003eSolid Ebony\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius\u003cbr\u003e12\"\u003cbr\u003eNumber Of Frets\u003cbr\u003e22\u003cbr\u003eFrets\u003cbr\u003eMedium-Jumbo\u003cbr\u003eNut Material\u003cbr\u003eNylon\u003cbr\u003eNut Width\u003cbr\u003e1.69\" \/ 42.85mm\u003cbr\u003eEnd of Board Width\u003cbr\u003e2.24\" \/ 56.89mm\u003cbr\u003eInlays\u003cbr\u003eMother of Pearl Block\u003cbr\u003eJoint\u003cbr\u003eLong Tenon, Hide Glue Fit\u003cbr\u003eHeadstock inlay\u003cbr\u003eGibson logo and Custom Split Diamond in Mother of Pearl\u003cbr\u003eHardware\u003cbr\u003eFinish\u003cbr\u003eGold; Murphy Lab Light Aged\u003cbr\u003eTuner Plating\u003cbr\u003eGold\u003cbr\u003eBridge\u003cbr\u003eABR-1 (Wired)\u003cbr\u003eTailpiece\u003cbr\u003eStop Bar\u003cbr\u003eTuning Machines\u003cbr\u003eKluson Waffleback\u003cbr\u003ePickguard\u003cbr\u003eBlack Multi-Ply\u003cbr\u003eTrussRod\u003cbr\u003e2-way Adjustable\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod Cover\u003cbr\u003eAuthentic 2-Ply Les Paul Custom\u003cbr\u003eControl Knobs\u003cbr\u003eBlack Witch Hats with Gold Inserts\u003cbr\u003eSwitch Tip\u003cbr\u003eCream\u003cbr\u003eSwitchwasher\u003cbr\u003eBlack\u003cbr\u003eJack Plate Cover\u003cbr\u003eBlack Multi-Ply\u003cbr\u003eControl Covers\u003cbr\u003eBlack\u003cbr\u003eStrap Buttons\u003cbr\u003eBrass\u003cbr\u003eMounting Rings\u003cbr\u003eBlack M69\u003cbr\u003ePickup Covers\u003cbr\u003eAuthentic Profile Gold-plated Nickel Silver\u003cbr\u003eElectronics\u003cbr\u003eNeck Pickup\u003cbr\u003e68 Custom Humbucker\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pickup\u003cbr\u003e68 Custom Humbucker\u003cbr\u003eControls\u003cbr\u003e2 Volume, 2 Tone, 500K CTS Potentiometers, Hand-Wired Harness with Black Beauty Capacitors\u003cbr\u003ePickup Selector\u003cbr\u003e3-Way Switchcraft\u003cbr\u003eOutput Jack\u003cbr\u003e1\/4\" Switchcraft\u003cbr\u003eMiscellaneous\u003cbr\u003eStrings Gauge\u003cbr\u003e.010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046\u003cbr\u003eCase\u003cbr\u003eCustom Shop Hardshell\u003cbr\u003eAccessories\u003cbr\u003eCertificate of Authenticity, Mounted Custom Shop Switch Plate Medallion; Reissue Switch Backplate in Case\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44429915226205,"sku":"930257002200","price":10829.05,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/8179\/7213\/files\/lpc68ulebgh1_1.png?v=1778334765","url":"https:\/\/gearstage.store\/products\/gibson-murphy-lab-1968-les-paul-custom-w-case-ultra-light-aged-ebony","provider":"GearStage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
