Description
Gibson Custom Shop's 1968 Les Paul Standard Goldtop Reissue is a stunning recreation of the magic that made the original '68 models so beloved. This meticulously-crafted guitar was modeled after "first batch" examples from 1968, which you can identify by the headstock's crown inlay, making it highly collectable. Other iconic features of this era are present in this reissue, such as a 14-degree headstock angle and thicker cutaway binding. And thanks to dual Custom Soapbar P90 pickups, every ounce of that late-sixties Goldtop's single-coil sweetness is on full display. With precision, attention to detail, and reverence for the originals, this 1968 Les Paul Standard Goldtop Reissue is a mesmerising guitar that's fresh out of the Gibson Custom Shop.
