Part of the Limited Edition Collection, this model reflects decades of Made to Measure requests and the deep well of creativity of the artisans at the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee. Crafted with precision, care, and an unwavering respect for the original Black Beauty concept, this Les Paul Custom reimagines the 1957 classic with an unexpected twist: a Korina body and top, elegantly showcased in an Antique Natural VOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe use of Korina gives this instrument a distinctive voice and visual identity. Its grain and golden hue highlight the sculpted lines of the Les Paul body shape, while multi-ply binding on both the top and back maintains the sophisticated Custom-level aesthetic.

Uncovered Double Classic White bobbins add a bold visual detail, while the traditional control layout of two volume and two tone knobs provides familiar versatility. A three-way toggle switch completes the electronics, making it easy to explore everything from articulate cleans to dynamic overdrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGold hardware underscores the elegant presentation, including an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, Kluson® Waffleback® tuning machines, and a Stop Bar tailpiece.

The Heavy Aged nitrocellulose lacquer adds tactile depth, allowing the instrument to respond like an heirloom that has already lived a lifetime of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Authentic 1968 neck profile captures the feel of the era with remarkable accuracy, anchored by a long neck tenon for exceptional resonance and stability. An ebony fretboard with single ply binding, block inlays, reissue medium jumbo frets, and a 12-inch radius provides both smooth playability and the authoritative touch expected from a Custom. The nylon nut is period correct, adding to the guitar’s distinctive response and articulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pair of T-Type humbucker™ pickups delivers clarity, bite, and the articulate edge associated with the late 60s. These pickups offer open, dynamic character with tight low end and crystalline highs, equally suited for expressive clean tones and muscular overdrive. Two volume controls, two tone controls, and a three-way toggle provide familiar control versatility, maintaining the format that has defined the Les Paul Custom for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNickel hardware and black plastics create a purposeful contrast against the Olive Drab finish. The ABR 1 Tune O Matic™ bridge, Stop Bar tailpiece, and Kluson® Waffleback® tuners deliver classic reliability. The headstock features mother-of-pearl inlays for both the Gibson logo and the Custom split diamond, reinforcing the guitar’s unmistakable identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue hardshell case and a Certificate of Authenticity complete the package.

When the guitar was over-sprayed, the serial number was redefined by scoring lightly into the finish.
