WTB: Anyone got a Gibson LP 68RI?

Seems relatively uncommon, but holey moley it's my grail guitar!

I think Wildwire has a used one in stock at the moment...

I find it a touch sudden to be honest.

Lovely! I was actually after an all-black - but that's beautiful!

Yeah - its lovely...but its one of the limited run for Guitar Center (you can tell by the "G" at the start of the serial number) - meaning it has the "60's thin taper neck" - and not the "real" 68 neck - which is really chunky and full.... I am on the look out for a 68 reissue as well!

Good spot. I've got a CC10 Tom Scholz here which at its heart is a 68 RI and the neck is just about the best I've ever played on a Gibson. 

Also I just noticed the weight... yikes.

Lovely looking guitar, but the Gibson logo looks really "messy" is this how the 68 models were?

Richard Henry had a 68 reissue for sale, not sure if he still does but might be worth checking.
