However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

The Gibson Custom 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue brings back the craftsmanship and design that made the original a legend. Built with a solid maple top on a mahogany body, it delivers rich resonance and crisp attack, setting it apart from earlier Les Paul models. The long-tenon neck joint, secured with hide glue, enhances sustain and ensures maximum energy transfer between the neck and body. Every detail, from the multi-ply binding to the authentic ‘68 Medium C-shaped neck, has been carefully recreated to capture the feel and sound of a true vintage Les Paul Custom.
At the heart of this reissue are the 68 Custom Humbuckers, designed to deliver the warm, dynamic tones that shaped iconic rock, blues, and jazz recordings. These pickups replicate the punch and clarity of the originals, offering tight lows, smooth mids, and soaring highs. If you need thick, overdriven leads or articulate clean tones, these humbuckers respond with incredible precision. Paired with hand-wired electronics and Black Beauty capacitors, they provide a vintage-accurate tonal response with enhanced depth and warmth.
Every detail of the 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue is built for performance and longevity. The ABR-1 bridge and stop bar tailpiece provide rock-solid tuning stability and sustain, keeping every note clear and defined. Kluson Waffleback tuners ensure smooth, precise tuning while complementing the guitar’s vintage aesthetic. Gold-plated nickel silver hardware adds to the classic look while offering durability that lasts. With this level of craftsmanship, you get an instrument that doesn’t just look stunning but performs at the highest level.
The ebony fretboard offers a sleek, responsive feel that enhances the guitar’s premium construction. Its dense, smooth surface allows for effortless playability, making fast runs and expressive bends feel natural. The 12” fingerboard radius and medium-jumbo frets make string bending easy and chording comfortable, while mother-of-pearl block inlays add a touch of elegance. Combined with the authentic ‘68 Medium C-shaped neck, this guitar provides vintage character with modern comfort, making it an inspiring instrument for any playing style.
With its sleek ebony finish, multi-ply binding, and gold hardware, the 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue is a true visual masterpiece. The black multi-ply pickguard, historic truss rod cover, and classic Les Paul body shape create an authentic vintage appearance. Beyond its looks, this reissue is designed for reliability, offering the playability and durability needed for any performance. Whether you're recording, playing live, or adding it to your collection, this guitar embodies the legacy of Gibson’s finest craftsmanship.
