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.
Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
