Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue Murphy Lab Heavy Aged Tangerine Burst

GIBSON Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue

1960 was the last year Gibson made the original Les Paul Standard. The '60 Les Paul Standard was almost identical to the 1959 model, with one big difference — it featured Gibson's new SlimTaper neck. The fast neck profile would become a favorite of guitarists across different genres, and remains one of the most popular neck shapes to this day. The 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue Heavy Aged honors the legendary originals with the inclusion of prototypic details like hide-glue construction, reflector control knobs, wide double-ring tuner tips, and re-engineered plastic parts. Custombucker Alnico III pickups and custom wiring ensure this 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue performs like a prized classic, while its luscious Murphy Lab aged finish gives you the look and feel of a venerable road warrior.
