For sale is a 2018 Gibson Custom Shop 50th Anniversary Les Paul Custom '68 Reissue VOS Black Beauty, complete with its original hard-shell case and certificate of authenticity.

This limited-edition model celebrates 50 continuous years of the Les Paul Custom, marking a significant milestone for this iconic guitar. In 1968, Gibson reintroduced the Les Paul Custom with some important updates. The 1968 model featured a solid maple top on a mahogany back, giving it a unique clarity and bite that distinguished it from earlier versions. Other key updates included two humbuckers instead of three, for improved picking clearance, and a 14-degree peghead angle that reduced string tension, enhancing playability. This 50th Anniversary edition stays true to those groundbreaking features, meticulously recreated by the Gibson Custom Shop to provide an authentic vintage experience. Only 300 units of this model were produced, making it highly collectible. It also comes with exclusive touches like a collectible switch plate medallion, throwback hang tags, and a commemorative guitar pick.

This guitar is in excellent condition, showing only a few light scratches and minor dings from careful use. I would confidently rate it 9 out of 10 for its overall quality.
