2008 Gibson Custom Shop ’68 Reissue Les Paul Custom – Alpine White Here’s a seriously lovely example of Gibson Custom Shop’s 2008 ’68 Reissue Les Paul Custom, finished in Alpine White and now developing that wonderfully warm, naturally aged ivory tone that makes these guitars so appealing. This is a proper Custom Shop Les Paul Custom, built to the specification of the legendary late-’60s model and carrying all the presence you would expect from a white Les Paul Custom. It weighs 10.70lb, has a 43mm top nut and feels every inch the substantial, serious instrument that a Les Paul Custom should be. The Custom Shop specification features the classic mahogany construction, a carved maple top, mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard, together with the distinctive Custom appointments and twin Gibson ’57 Classic humbuckers. The combination gives this guitar a wonderfully authoritative voice: warm and thick at the bridge, with plenty of bite and definition when driven, while the neck pickup delivers that deep, vocal, almost piano-like Gibson character. Roll the volume back and it cleans up beautifully, retaining plenty of clarity and harmonic detail. It is particularly good for blues, rock and heavier styles, but there is considerably more versatility here than the appearance might suggest. The ’57 Classics have a lovely open quality, with enough output to push an amplifier while retaining the woody, rounded character that makes a good Les Paul Custom so addictive. Our example is in excellent condition and is presented in perfect working order with a very nice setup. The playing action is fantastic — easy, comfortable and exactly what you want from a Custom — while the frets remain in very good condition with no discernible wear. The original Alpine White finish has naturally mellowed beautifully over the years, now presenting with a lovely warm yellow/vintage-white hue. It looks absolutely fantastic in the flesh.
