[Gibson Les Paul Custom 1968 Reissue]

 

An R8 neck on a 1968 reissue? That just doesn't sound right to me? Why would they put a 1958 Les Paul neck on a 1968 Historic' date=' especially when the whole idea of the 68 was to get it as close to the original specs as possible?

 

This just doesn't sound right to me. My 1968 Les Paul Custom reissue/historic has a 60's style neck, very thin and very fast! I love it!

 

While I'm not sure what you guys are getting over on your side of the pond, what this guy told you just doesn't seem right at all? To me it sounds like someone trying to move some inventory that has been sitting. Have you tried to call Gibson Customer Care and ask them about the 1968?[/quote']

 

If I remember correctly, only the Guitar Center 68RI's have the slim neck.............the 68RI's not made for GC have a larger neck.
