If I remember correctly....
...Gibson dropped the Les Paul in '61 or '62 (due to a contract disagreement with Les Paul himself), and then re-introduced it in 1968 (at which point demand was very high because of that magical tone that Eric Clapton had gotten with a Les Paul and a Marshall combo amp on the Bluesbreaker album). '68 Les Pauls are considered to be particularly desirable. My brother has had one since the early '70s and just laughs at me every time I try to talk him out of it....
