Experience the magic of vintage craftsmanship with the Gibson 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue. This guitar is more than a musical instrument; it's a piece of history meticulously recreated for the modern musician.

1960 marked the end of an era for the original Les Paul Standards and this reissue brings back the distinguishing features of that time. From the slim neck shape that attracted legendary musicians like Eric Clapton, Joe Walsh, and Paul McCartney, to the distinctive "reflector" knobs, every detail is carefully reproduced.

This reissue isn't just about looks. It's about capturing the sonic magic of the original. With Custombucker Alnico III pickups wired with vintage CTS potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors, you're getting the pure, unadulterated tone of a 1960 Les Paul.

Top-tier tonewoods are chosen to match the originals: mahogany for the body, maple for the top, and rosewood for the fretboard. The result is a guitar that doesn't just sound like a 1960 Les Paul, it feels and plays like one too.
