Gibson Custom Shop 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue Electric Guitar, Heavy Aged Olive Drab Top

A crucial pivot point in electric guitar – revived, recreated, and celebrated with this Gibson Custom Shop 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue in a Heavy Aged Olive Drab! Part of the Gibson Custom Shop 2026 Limited Collection, this battle-ready Les Paul Custom brings together a number of unique and reverent specifications to bring to life a vision of a classic Gibson. High-octane electronics, high-quality woods, and a raw aesthetic too true to deny coalesce for an undeniably formidable Les Paul Custom.

This limited release Les Paul Custom begins first with a solid mahogany body and carved maple cap top. Bringing forth the rich bass of mahogany and the top-end chirp of maple, this classic combo acts as a marvelous sonic springboard for the rest of the musical experience. This limited Gibson Custom Shop's body is decked in a specialized nitrocellulose lacquer finish from their Murphy Lab division. Heavily worn and affected in their Heavy Aged wear level, this Les Paul Special pairs its Olive Drab top finish with an ebony back finish for a dynamic match of colors. Tasteful finish checking, age, and markings appear across the body with multi-ply binding for a totally impressive visual sum.

From its iconic singlecut body, this limited Gibson Custom Shop introduces a long tenon mahogany neck with an Authentic 1968 profile for a full and faithful feel in hand. Matching with a twelve-inch radius ebony fingerboard with twenty-two Reissue Medium Jumbo frets, this board is sleek, smooth, and speedy for a great playing experience. Classic block inlays punctuate the dark ebony for an awesome visual addition.

All these visual and tangible elements are brought together by a pair of Gibson T-Type humbucking pickups. Faithful to late '60s Gibson humbuckers for a heated and powerful tone with plenty of nuance for cleanliness and articulation. The powerful tones touted by these T-Types are backed up by a sturdy hardware setup. The guitar's period-accurate nylon nut and Kluson Waffleback tuning machines appear at the headstock for seamless stringing and intonation. At the scale's opposite end, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge with a Stop Bar tailpiece land for a solid connection of string-to-body and transfer of motion. This limited edition Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom travels with an included Lifton reissue hardshell case.

Showing its scars and battle-ready for more, this Les Paul Custom has been around the block a few times and has the simulated bruises to show for it.
