Gibson Custom Historic Standard Hand-Picked 1968 Les Paul Custom Gloss (5A Quilt Natural) Overview
Gibson Product Overview
So here's a guitar that never was- at least if there was a Natural finish Les Paul Custom with a mega quilt top coming out of Gibson's factory back in 1968 we've never seen one before! With woods handpicked by us in Gibson's Nashville Custom Shop and constructed to True Historic spec this really is a beauty to behold.
So it was a welcome return for the Black Beauty when it was reintroduced after a long hiatus in 1968. It featured a long neck tenon and Ebony fingerboard with Pearl block inlays, just like this reissue. A pair of Alnico II '68 Custom pickups give this stunning guitar the righteous tone it deserves.
