Another great addition from Gibson Custom, this '60 reissue features a slimmer profile neck and more red tinged burst finishes which is period correct. They sound great and perfect for players looking for a more rock n roll style LP.
From Gibson Guitar’s Website: "1960 was the last year for the original Les Paul Standard, nearly identical to a 1959 model except for a few specs. Most notably, it features a fast-playing slim neck profile, beloved by the many famous musicians who played '60 Bursts including Eric Clapton, Joe Walsh, and Paul McCartney. It also has "reflector" Volume & Tone knobs and wider "double-ring" tuner tips. The Custom Shop 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a clone of the originals from the hide-glue construction to the chemically re-engineered plastic parts. Each one is built with extreme care, reverence and attention to detail by expert Custom Shop craftspeople who are committed to providing an authentic vintage ownership experience. This guitar comes with a vintage spec hardcase."
