Overview
With its distinctive style and long list of appointments, the 1968 Les Paul Custom has been a favorite of players and collectors for years. Gibson's Custom Division has taken this already luxurious guitar and added a carved, figured Maple top - presenting the '68 Les Paul Figured Top.
Featuring the trademark split-diamond pearl headstock inlay and lavishly bound body, the '68 Les Paul Custom Figured Top is equipped with '57 Classic pickups, an ABR-1 bridge, and stopbar tailpiece.

"The Most Beautiful LP"
Why buy any more guitars? Oh yeah, it's fun to buy guitars. If I could only keep one the Custom would be it.
Sound
Played through a Marshall JCM1000 it bellows and growls. Not quite as thick as the Standard but plenty of bite nonetheless. Playability and looks to last a lifetime. Mine has the chambered body that reduces the weight.
