Gibson / Custom Shop '68 Les Paul Standard / 2022 / Gold / Guitar For Sale

We've had a few of these originals and it has to said, this Gibson Custom Shop recreation is very good indeed..! The early 68 GT's with the headstock motif tend to be on the heavy side but thankfully this one is not so and is in just about MINT condition too with all paperwork and original case.

Probably the finest one on the market right now..
