Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail.
The 1968 Les Paul™ Custom stood apart from its 1950s predecessors in a few significant ways. Instead of a solid mahogany body, it now had a solid maple top on a mahogany back - adding the clarity and bite that many rock guitarists sought. It also came standard with two humbuckers as opposed to three, providing additional picking clearance. And lastly it had a 14-degree peghead angle for reduced string tension. This set of features instantly became the new standard for the Les Paul Custom model, which has been produced continuously by Gibson ever since. This 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue was designed to be the final say in historical accuracy, tone and feel. Every detail and spec was meticulously revived by the skilled artisans at Gibson Custom Shop to provide an amazing, life-long vintage ownership experience. It features Ultra Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.

We are a Guitar Boutique where musicians come to hang out whilst shopping from our stock of exquisite high end acoustic and electric guitars.
Miami Guitars is run by a guitar enthusiast and a professional guitar player. Our main interest consists of bringing back to the community the good old fashion way of buying instruments: from a place that feels more like a musician’s home and not a corporation eager just to sell you stuff. Our intention is not to compete with the major chains, instead we want to create alliances with all our local musicians and promote the guitar as an activity that is both artistic and spiritual, a place where local bands can promote their shows, make connections, try and purchase amazing instruments and just be themselves.
We offer you a wide variety of instruments from the greatest guitars makers of our time. We want you to get the guitar of your dreams from us and we know that you’ve worked hard to get it, here you are treated with respect and consideration from fellow musicians who share your same dreams, talk your talk and walk your walk.
Our mission is to provide the best guitar shopping experience in an ambiance of ease and comfort without vexing sales pitch and pushing. Upon their request we impart our customers with all the information pertinent to the product of their interest in order for them to make an educated decision, one that they won’t regret later.
