Description

Edit description

The Gibson Custom Shop Special Order '60 Les Paul Standard Reissue channels the spirit of a bygone era, merging the authentic charm of the iconic 1960 model with the craftsmanship of today. This meticulously crafted guitar is a gateway to the golden age of rock, offering players a piece of history with every note. With a one-piece mahogany body and a beautifully figured maple top, it delivers a rich, resonant tone that sings with sustain.

The 1960 SlimTaper neck is a dream for players who crave speed and precision, allowing effortless navigation across the solid Indian rosewood fingerboard. At the heart of this sonic masterpiece are the Custombucker Alnico III pickups, which replicate the coveted vintage PAF tone with stunning authenticity. These electronics, paired with vintage CTS pots and paper-in-oil capacitors, craft a sound palette that ranges from creamy blues to gritty rock.

The attention to detail extends to its aesthetic; the Vintage Original Sheen (VOS) finish provides a gently aged appearance, while vintage-style Kluson tuners and aged cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays complete the period-correct look. Every inch of this guitar, from the hide-glued neck to the era-accurate truss rod, is designed to transport you back to the legendary year of 1960, without the vintage price tag.
