Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail.

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.

Pick your jaw off the floor and wipe away the drool... yes you are looking at one of the most beautiful Les Pauls you have ever laid your eyes upon. Hands down this this the best, most vintage correct looking top available and one of the nicest I have ever had. I hand selected the top, with the help and input of some of the most knowledgable burst experts/owners in the world.

The 1960 Les Paul Standard introduced some of the most enticing features these iconic solid-bodies have ever presented. In order to celebrate 60 years of excellence, Gibson Custom has released three versions of the 1960 Les Paul Standard. Each one is designed with detail in mind 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. 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 Custom ‘60 Les Paul reissue is unforgettable in both tone and performance.

The neck on this tribute Les Paul is the crown jewel. It has a medium slim tapered profile. It comfortably fills the hand and delivers an unforgettable playing experience. A hide glue neck joint delivers classic Les Paul sustain, and aged cellulose Trapezoid inlays supply classic Les Paul aesthetics.

Gibson has managed to recreate some of the most historically accurate Gibson PAF copies ever. They knew it would be next to impossible to find genuine vintage PAFs, even for them! So, the 60th Anniversary sports a pair of Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers, which were designed to give you that dead-on 1960 Les Paul tone.

This commemorating Les Paul was designed with the Gibson enthusiast in mind. It is oozing with historic specifications and delivers on that authentic vintage playing experience that we all crave. Now is your chance to hold a little piece of music history in your very own hands.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s

We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS INCURRED (NOT CHARGES) WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives significantly not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
