Here's The Run Down:

This is a great looking and playing 1999 Gibson USA Les Paul Custom 68RI that was played & loved over the years, but maintained well and still in great shape for a pre owned 24 year old guitar. This guitar was special ordered with a plain, but darker Heritage Cherry Sunburst Top, which is in great shape showing mild signs of use and wear as you would expect of a pre owned guitar. Flaws overall may consist of average playwear, minor dings, scratches, marks, and some discoloration of the gold hardware as pictured. NO cracks, breaks, refinishing or repairs. The fret wear is very minimal as pictured and it plays beautifully over the entire fingerboard. I tried to take really good pics, so you can judge its condition for yourself (see pics). The neck is definitely chunky and feels great, so if that's what your looking for, here it is (profile specs above). The 57 Classic pickups as well as all electronics are original and operate perfectly. If your looking for a super cool, great looking and playing Les Paul Custom under 10 pounds, this would make a great addition to your collection!

***Will come exactly as pictured***

This Gibson LP Custom sounds and plays amazing! Although I think its set up great, everyone has their own preferences. If your not happy with its set up, it will be your responsibility and cost to have it set up to your liking. The neck is straight and the truss rod operates as it should. All electronics are original and perfect! Professionally set up & ready to rock!

The Original Gibson Custom Hard Case is in very good condition. All latches, hinges and handle operate as they should. It will show signs of use and age from moving it around, but still a great original case with no signs of abuse. 

Everything operates as it should, and has never had, nor does it have any breaks or repairs unless noted above.

Make sure you view all of the pics and ask questions if you have any concerns before buying.

Product Overview
Starting with limited, short run guitars in the 1990s for the Japanese market, the Gibson Custom Shop '68 Les Paul Custom Reissue has essentially been in production from 1999 straight through to today, with minor variances in hardware and specifications and different finishes being introduced and discontinued over the years. The Guitar Center-exclusive "Tri-Burst" guitars are among the most common, and have a slightly thinner neck profile than the rest of these guitars.

Most '68 Les Paul Custom Reissues make use of the '57 Classic pickups, mahogany body and neck, and an ebony fretboard. It is important, however, to note the specs on any individual listing and contact the seller with any questions you may have as to hardware, year of production, etc.
