Gibson Custom Shop 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue Washed Cherry Sunburst

The legendary 1960 Les Paul in Washed Cherry Sunburst!

In 1960, Gibson produced the Les Paul Standard for the last time. Models from this year are largely identical to the 1959 model, with one immediately noticeable exception: the neck is much slimmer. This fast, slender Slim neck profile would soon be embraced by greats like Eric Clapton, Joe Walsh, and Paul McCartney.

This 1960 Reissue from the Gibson Custom Shop is a meticulous replica of the original, featuring the same Hide Glue construction and meticulously replicated plastic knobs and pickup rings. Tonally, it delivers exactly what you'd expect from an old-school Les Paul. The combination of mahogany and maple delivers a warm, detailed tone with a beautiful sparkle. In the high end. The pair of Custombucker pickups is open and dynamic, creating an exceptionally versatile sound palette. Includes a Gibson hardcase.
