Made to Measure Light Aged '68 Les Paul Custom in Antique White  The 1968 Les Paul Custom stood apart from its 1950s predecessors in a few significant ways. Instead of a solid mahogany body, it now had a solid maple top on a mahogany back - adding the clarity and bite that many rock guitarists sought. It also came standard with two humbuckers as opposed to three, providing additional picking clearance. And lastly it had a 14-degree peghead angle for reduced string tension. This set of features instantly became the mint standard for the Les Paul Custom model, which has been produced continuously by Gibson ever since. This 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue was designed to be the final say in historical accuracy, tone and feel. Every detail and spec was meticulously revived by the skilled artisans at Gibson Custom Shop to provide an amazing, life-long vintage ownership experience.Body: Body Style - Les PaulBody Shape - Les PaulTop - 2-Piece Plain MapleBack - 1-Piece MahoganyBinding - Multi-plyBody Finish - Murphy Lab Aged Nitrocellulose LacquerWeight Relief - None Neck:Profile - Authentic '68 Medium C-ShapeScale Length - 628.65 mm / 24.75 inFingerboard Material - EbonyFingerboard Radius - 304.8 mm / 12 inFret Count - 22Frets - Medium-JumboNut Material - NylonNut Width - 42.85 mm / 1.687 inEnd Of Board Width - 56.89 mm / 2.239 inInlays - Mother of Pearl BlockJoint - Long Tenon, Hide Glue Fit Harware:Finish - GoldBridge - ABR-1Tailpiece - Stop BarTuning Machines - Kluson WafflebackPickguard - Black Multi-PlyTruss Rod - 2-way AdjustableTruss Rod Cover - Authentic 2-Ply Les Paul CustomSwitch Tip - CreamSwitch washer - BlackJack Plate Cover - Black Multi-PlyControl Covers - BlackStrap Buttons - BrassMounting Rings - Black M69Pickup Covers - Authentic Profile Gold-plated Nickel Silver Light AgedElectronics:Neck Pickup - 68 Custom HumbuckerBridge Pickup - 68 Custom HumbuckerControls - 2 500K CTS Volume Pots, 2 500K CTS Tone Pots, Hand-Wired Harness with Black Beauty CapacitorsPickup Selector - 3-Way SwitchcraftOutput Jack - SwitchcraftMisc.Strings Gauge - .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046Case - Custom Shop HardshellAccessories - Gibson Custom Switchplate Medallion (w/ Historic Black Plastic Cover in Case), Certificate of Authenticity Booklet, Historic Reissue Hang Tags
