Beautiful Guitar
First Les Paul Custom didn't disappoint , from its beautiful body, to its rich tone, long neck not so chunky, which I preferred but feels right there, I like the punch of the pickups and the clear tone when it's clean, a little heavy 9 pounds, but not so heavy compare to old guitars, the binding was a little not so perfect ,you can see there was a little painting mistake in the back, for the price , you should spect a little more perfection ,I like the light polish seems like it's gonna age sooner.,by the way I like buying my instruments from Sweetwater specially with my favorite sales representative, he always get me great deals, he's such a nice and fun guy to talk to, thanks you so much!!! Tomir Denton, he's the best of the best.
Beautiful.
All I can say is go ahead and buy this one. The absolute pinnacle of gibson and electric guitars in general. This is an absolute machine and the tone couldn't be better. It immediately fit perfect into my hands as if i'd been playing it for 30 years. It just feels like home to me. The finish is just beautiful, I love the gloss black top with the vintage looking binding and headstock. It is a killer for sure. Will never sell this guitar. Dont second guess yourself beginner, intermediate, or pro, if you got the dough, this is the one. Thank you stephen D and sweetwater for the best service around. I am excited for many many decades with this Gibson Custom.
Stunning.
Right out of the box this guitar is a monster. Great job Gibson. Thank you sweetwater.
Gibson 68 Reissue Les Paul Custom is epic!
I've owned many guitars in my lifetime including quite a few Les Pauls. But nothing compares to this one. Not even close.
I never have gotten around to getting a Custom Shop guitar but this one will top any future purchase I ever make.
When I opened the case I was blown away. The black nitro finish is perfect. The neck is bigger than a '60's Slim Taper but not baseball bat sized either. It's perfect.
Plugged it in and got exactly what I hoped for. It sounds bigger than my other guitars…the pickups are awesome.
Toll a long time to get here but it was well worth it. Shout out to my Sweetwater guy Mike Blair for making it happen…thanks brotha.
Don't hesitate to to pick one if these up…it sits at the top of my 50+ guitar collection be a mile!
Gibson Les Paul Custom '68 reissue
Bought one in 2016. It's the bomb! Really ebony fretboard, no richlite on these. Neck is chunky and plays smooth as butter. Sounds huge.
This Is My Holy Grail Of Les Pauls
When I was a freshman in high school I met a kid with the same obsession with guitars as I did. When I went over to jam at his house he pulled out a Gibson Les Paul Custom that his well off parent bought him. I was blown away by it. The way it looked and played was nothing like the cheap electric I was using.
Over my lifetime I have owned well over 100 guitars including many Gibson Les Pauls, Explorers, SG's and more. But got some reason or another I never bought myself a Gibson Les Paul Custom. Well that ended when I bought this 1968 Gibson Les Paul Custom Reissue.
Everything about this Les Paul oozes quality. When I opened the case the glassy black finish and gold hardware took me back to when I saw a LP Custom for the first time. And when I hit my first power chord it blew me away with its huge, beefy sound.
I couldn't recommend this guitar enough. Owning a Les Paul Custom is a dream come true for me. But owning this particular LP Custom has been far beyond my wildest dreams.
Make your own dreams come true by picking up one of this guitar. You won't regret it.
