Up for sale is a stunning 2024 Gibson Custom Made 2 Measure ’68 Les Paul Custom in Nordic Blue with a hand-selected 5A quilted maple top and TV White back, complete with its original Gibson Custom Shop hard-shell case, Certificate of Authenticity, and all original paperwork.

This is not your average Les Paul Custom. Built through Gibson's Made 2 Measure program, this guitar combines the legendary feel and construction of a Historic-inspired ’68 Les Paul Custom with one of the most striking finishes Gibson Custom Shop currently offers.

Paired with the TV White back, neck, and sides, the contrast is dramatic and visually stunning. It is one of those guitars that immediately grabs your attention from across the room and somehow looks even better in person than it does in photographs.

Electronics & Features

This M2M build combines the best aspects of a Historic-style Les Paul Custom with truly custom-shop-level aesthetics.

The ’68 Custom humbuckers provide the perfect blend of vintage warmth and modern punch, delivering rich cleans, singing sustain, and aggressive overdriven tones without sacrificing clarity. Hand-wired electronics featuring CTS pots and Black Beauty capacitors provide smooth, responsive control throughout the entire sweep.

The ebony fingerboard adds snap, articulation, and a premium feel under the fingers, while the gold hardware and multi-ply Custom binding complete the iconic Les Paul Custom look.

Of course, the real star of the show is the incredible 5A quilted maple top. Gibson occasionally produces beautiful figured tops, but this one is truly exceptional. Combined with the TV White back and neck, it creates one of the most visually striking Les Paul Customs you'll find anywhere.

Tone & Feel

This guitar feels every bit like the high-end Custom Shop instrument it is.

The neck is comfortable and substantial without feeling bulky, and the ebony board provides a fast, smooth playing surface. At 8 lbs 14 oz, it is also a very comfortable weight for a Les Paul Custom, offering excellent balance and resonance.

Acoustically, the guitar is lively and responsive. Plugged in, it delivers everything from rich, articulate cleans to thick, sustaining lead tones with ease. Whether you're playing classic rock, blues, hard rock, fusion, or modern styles, this guitar excels.
