Calvin Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Hi guys. I have recently purchased a 2014 gibson customshop 1968 les paul custom reissue japan limited model and I would really want to know the specs of this guitar. Visually, it looks exactly like the 2015 68 les paul custom reissue model. I have been told by the seller that my guitar is equipped with a pickup made up of #42 awg wires and alnico 2 magnets. I've checked that it does have Kluson waffle-back tuners, black beauty caps, PAF humbuckers, and a long tenon D heel neck. Does my guitar have the same exact specs as the 2015 model? if not, I would really like to know the specifics. So I was really hoping to get some answers on this.. Hoping I could get a reply this time, Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
