[SN 604038] USED Gibson Custom/Murphy Lab 1968 Les Paul Custom Ultra Light Aged Ebony [12]

A 1968 Les Paul Custom from Murphy Lab, made in 2026, has arrived!
The Murphy Lab Collection brings together years of aging expertise
Based on the highly popular 1968 Les Paul Custom, this model recreates the condition of a guitar that has been carefully stored in its case, featuring a combination of light weather checking and lightly aged hardware.

Although the Les Paul evolved into the Les Paul SG in 1961, making the SG Gibson’s main solid-body guitar of the 1960s, growing demand for the Les Paul’s return—fueled by its use by renowned guitarists—led to its reintroduction in 1968.

This instrument is a reissue model that recreates the specifications from that very first year of the revival!

While the 1950s Custom featured a mahogany body, the reissued Custom was redesigned with a two-piece maple top and mahogany back body, similar to the 1950s Burst models.

The mahogany neck is finished in the “Authentic ’68 Medium C-Shape”—a profile that should suit many players—and, of course, features an ebony fingerboard!

It’s equipped with Kluson VX-501 tuners, commonly known as “Waffleback.”
With two “’68 Custom Humbuckers” mounted and featuring a Black Beauty capacitor, this guitar is a delightful recreation down to the finest details!

More than 70% of the frets remain, the neck is in good condition, and the truss rod is adjustable.
