Description

Gibson 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue Tangerine Burst Custom Shop

- 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 specifications.

Most notably, it features a slim, fast neck profile, loved by the many famous musicians who played '60s 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 its hide-glue construction to its chemically re-engineered plastic parts.

Each one is built with extreme care, respect, and attention to detail by expert Custom Shop craftsmen who are committed to providing an authentic vintage ownership experience.
