This 2004 Gibson Les Paul Custom ’68 Reissue is a beautifully clean example, showing light use by the original owner.
The frets look nearly new – you really have to look closely to see a sign that the guitar has been played at all.
We’re sure to check all facets of our guitars. It is easy to talk ourselves into thinking a clean guitar like this is all original and lazily pass it along without looking, which I feel is unfair to our customers. So, we checked the control cavity, the pickups, and removed one tuner to make sure that there are no hidden changes. It is in fact 100% original.
We checked the truss rod too, to make sure there is room for future neck relief adjustments.
Lastly, we re-strung it with a set of D’Addario 10-46 strings, intonated it and set it up. It plays perfectly!
There is a bunch of paperwork and case candy included in the original case, which is also in excellent condition.
