Only a custom version will get you there!! The Les Paul Custom is a model so beloved that you can hear such passionate voices from custom guitar fans!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Although production of the Les Paul Custom ceased around 1960, its popularity resurfaced in the late 1960s when top musicians began using them. Finally, production resumed in 1968, alongside the Standard. While retaining the design from before 1960, the body material composition was revised, adopting a plain maple top and mahogany back, and the three humbuckers that were prevalent in the 1950s were replaced with two humbuckers. As a result, it achieved simple operation and a sound character that was very sharp and edgy even when distorted, which is now known as the signature tone of the Les Paul Custom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The gleaming block inlay fretboard is made of ebony, and the neck is crafted from a one-piece mahogany. The now-rare ebony fretboard produces a sharper and tighter sound than a standard LP, creating a masculine tone that cuts through even with high gain, without becoming too muddy—perfect for heavy metal\/hard rock! It's also popular among those who like to distort their sound with a hard edge!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The pickups are presumably '57 Classics. While there are signs of previous replacement, the '57 Classics were standard at the time, so we believe they have been restored to their original condition. It outputs a stable, natural, and easy-to-use Les Paul Custom sound!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This time, we have a 2001 1968 Les Paul Custom in player's condition used condition in stock!\u003cbr\u003e As mentioned earlier, this guitar has been refinished from a white color to a deep, rich green.\u003cbr\u003e Although it appears black in the image, it is actually a very dark green color. Even to the naked eye, it looks black at first glance.\u003cbr\u003e The guitar shows a number of minor scratches and dents throughout, noticeable buckle scratches, scratches on the entire back of the neck, scratches on the tip of the headstock, pick scratches on the pickguard, scratches on the pickup ring, areas where the paint has peeled off revealing the wood or original white paint, and tarnishing on the gold hardware. However, it has undergone a full maintenance and cleaning at our shop, so it is a highly recommended guitar that can be used immediately. None of these issues affect playability.\u003cbr\u003e There are gaps and cracks in the binding of the top cutaway section, but this does not affect or impede the current use of the guitar.\u003cbr\u003e There was a crack in the jack plate, but this has also been repaired. There are no issues or problems with its current use.\u003cbr\u003e The knobs have been replaced from sombrero knobs to the current top hat knobs. The original parts are not included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The frets have been leveled and the guitar is ready to use. Approximately 80% of the fret life remains. The nut has also been adjusted and is in perfect working order. The truss rod is also in good working order and can be adjusted as usual.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The electrical system has also been fully checked, so there are no problems with its operation.\u003cbr\u003e The front tone pot has been replaced with a CTS pot. The capacitors have also been replaced from ceramic capacitors to Orange Drop capacitors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The weight is approximately 4.80 kg.
