Another quality Guitar from Lovies Guitars!
Lovies Guitars is excited to present this 2025 Gibson Custom Shop ’68 Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar finished in Black Ebony. The ’68 Les Paul Custom is one of Gibson Custom Shop’s most revered recreations, honoring the return of the Les Paul Custom after its brief production hiatus in the 1960s. Combining timeless “Black Beauty” styling with premium Custom Shop craftsmanship, this model delivers the rich sustain, powerful voice, and elegant appointments that have made it a favorite of legendary players for generations.
Built with a solid mahogany body and carved maple top, the ’68 Les Paul Custom produces the unmistakable Les Paul sound—thick lows, articulate mids, and singing highs with exceptional sustain. The Custom Shop humbuckers offer everything from warm, expressive clean tones to aggressive rock crunch and soaring lead sounds, making this guitar equally at home in the studio or on stage.
Finished in the iconic Black Ebony with multi-ply binding, gold hardware, and mother-of-pearl block inlays, this guitar perfectly captures the sophistication and presence that have earned the Les Paul Custom its legendary “Black Beauty” nickname. It is an outstanding choice for players seeking modern Custom Shop quality with classic vintage-inspired styling.
This guitar is all original (OG) and comes complete with its Certificate of Authenticity (COA), Original Hardshell Case (OHSC), and original case candy.
Condition: 9.2/10 – Very Good. Shows honest player wear including medium pickguard scratches, medium buckle rash on the back, and a light ding near the tailpiece. The gold hardware exhibits some tasteful tarnishing, adding to the guitar’s vintage-inspired character. Overall, a clean, well-maintained Custom Shop Les Paul that has been enjoyed but remains in excellent playing condition.
