Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Ebony and gold hardware frame this 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue, built with a lightweight mahogany body and two-piece figured maple top. The solid mahogany neck has an authentic ’68 Medium C profile, paired with a solid ebony fingerboard and mother-of-pearl block inlays. Two 68 Custom humbuckers use Alnico II magnets, leaving more picking space than the earlier three-pickup format described for previous models. Murphy Lab Ultra Light aging brings lacquer checking with minimal wear. A certificate of authenticity and aged Lifton reissue 5-latch hard case are included.
