Description:
'59 Les Pauls may hog the collector's limelight, but to players in the know, the 1960 Les Paul Standard introduced some of the most enticing features these iconic solidbodies have ever presented.
To commemorate this guitar's 60th anniversary, Gibson Custom has released three versions of the 1960 Les Paul Standard — in three distinct versions to accommodate for neck, finish, tuner, and knob variances.
Each 60th Anniversary Les Paul Standard is rendered in stunning detail and comes outfitted with historic appointments and electronics. The non-weight-relieved solid mahogany body with hide-glued flame maple top delivers unsurpassed Les Paul richness and resonance.
For the V1 edition, the body is hide glue–fit to a period-correct Medium "C" mahogany neck that's beautifully adorned with a 24-3/4"-scale Indian rosewood fingerboard and enhanced with Kluson Single Line/Single Ring tuners. Paired with Gibson's Custombucker Alnico III pickups, vintage CTS pots, and paper-in-oil caps, the Gibson 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard V1 VOS is a recipe for unforgettable tone and performance.
