Limited to only 68 pieces worldwide, here is a rare opportunity to pickup a very limited Gibson Custom Shop 50th Anniversary 1968 Les Paul Gold Too. This guitar was played very little in a home studio environment and is in as new condition. The pickups were upgraded to a set of Rewind P90’s, but originals are included. COA and case candy all there as well. It weighs in at 8lb 12oz. This is an incredible sounding and playing instrument. Murphy level relic at a fraction of the cost.
Here is the original write up:
The folks at Gibsons Custom Shop are excited to announce the 50th Anniversary Edition of the 1968 Les Paul Gold Top. Availability will be very limited and they will be sold on a first come first served basis. Here is the background ...
In the summer of 1968, Gibson did something unprecedented. They re-released two guitar models that were discontinued a decade earlier, a Les Paul Custom and a Les Paul Goldtop. Many famous guitarists at the time adopted 1950s Les Paul models because of their heavy tones, vocal qualities and endless sustain, creating a demand for the classic body style that continues through today.
This 50th Anniversary 1968 Les Paul Custom 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 vintage experience. Each will include an exclusive case, collectible switch plate medallion, throwback hang tags and guitar picks, and a copy of the 1968 Gibson Gazette which announced the new Les Paul models to the world. Limited to only 300 total instruments produced.Details
