Killer axe! I loved the '68 reissue I had. Gibson does those 68's right. Unfortunately, I had to sell it years ago to help fund a move. That's one I definitely miss.

I will never sell this guitar again. Gibson raising their price so much thesedays. So, I had to pull the trigger before they raise the price to 10k lol

I don't blame you at all. It makes me want to vomit thinking about what I bought and sold it for compared to now . Definitely should have let something else go at the time.

Edit: Oh and to make it worse, I had it set up by one of the local techs by me before shipping it. I can still remember when dude said, "I don't think you should sell this one." Ugh...

Hell yeah man, beautiful guitar!

I picked up one of these not too long ago as well. No weight relief chambers, neck profile is just a hair slimmer than a 50's baseball bat neck (about 80% of the way towards a 50's neck from a 60's neck), shallower headstock angle for better tuning stability, ABR-1 bridge which imo is fantastic for the guitar's resonance. It's my favorite Les Paul. Totally love it. Congrats!

I think a lot of the pre-2013 ones are basically 57 with a maple cap instead of an actual 68 reissue. They started to make them more period-correct from 13/14 onwards. I got a 2010 and I'm still GASing for a 2018 50th anni reissue.

My own taste would be the '54 Black Beauty, but yeah a black LPC is the equivalent to a bomb ass brunette in her little black dress and fuck me pumps.

Yeah I definitely like my BBR5 more than the 68.

Love the blacked out LP custom!! I am planning to swap my gold parts to black. Mine is 4.2 kg. Pretty light ha? Even mine has no hole for weight relief.

Thx man! About the same weight as mine! Killer

Yeah, mine from the 2000s has a big neck and the normal 17 degree headstock. The newer one has a much slimmer neck and the 14 degree headstock.

Congrats !! IMO there is nothing and I mean nothing sexier than a black and gold LP Custom.

Congrats!
Love the LP Custom, especially the 70's / "modern" version introduced end 60's (maple cap body); some of the most versatile & best rock guitars ever IMHO.

I had one of the 68 Custom VOS here a few years ago. Price was around 4.5K€. Where the normal Les Paul Custom was 3445.- back then. But i didn't keep neither of these. Wouldn't have hurt though
