From Gibson Guitars
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 Custom 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.
