This is a Pre-Order listing scheduled to ship June 2026 Subject to Manufacturer Availability

Vintage Inspired Tone and Construction

This limited edition 68 Les Paul Custom Reissue channels a defining era of electric guitar history with the precision of Gibson Custom craftsmanship. A solid mahogany body paired with a carved maple top delivers the rich midrange punch and singing sustain that made late 60s Customs legendary. The Olive Drab top sets a bold visual tone while multi-ply binding frames the instrument with unmistakable Custom elegance.

Murphy Lab Heavy Aged Finish Character

The Heavy Aged treatment gives this guitar the feel and response of a road-tested veteran. The nitrocellulose lacquer is broken in with convincing wear, adding tactile depth and a resonant, lively response. It feels less like a new instrument and more like a well-kept heirloom that has already lived a lifetime on stage.

Authentic 1968 Neck Feel and Playability

The Authentic 1968 neck profile offers a substantial yet comfortable grip, anchored by a long neck tenon for enhanced resonance and stability. The ebony fingerboard provides a fast, articulate surface while maintaining the authoritative feel expected from a Custom. Every detail, from the nylon nut to the block inlays, reinforces period-correct performance with modern precision.

T Type Humbuckers and Classic Control Layout

Equipped with a pair of T Type humbuckers, this guitar delivers clarity, bite, and dynamic range. Expect tight lows, articulate mids, and crisp highs that stay musical whether clean or pushed into overdrive. The traditional two volume, two tone control layout with a three way toggle provides familiar and versatile tone shaping.

Premium Hardware and Custom Appointments

Nickel hardware and black plastics create a striking contrast against the Olive Drab finish. The ABR 1 Tune O Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece ensure solid tuning stability and sustain, while Kluson Waffleback tuners complete the vintage spec feel. The Custom split diamond headstock inlay seals the identity of this unmistakable instrument.
