Ideal for players who cherish classic rock tones and the elegance of heritage design, this model captures the essence of a golden era in music history.
Premium Tonewoods and Bourbon Burst Finish
Featuring a solid mahogany body with a carved AA-grade flamed maple top, the guitar provides a rich tonal foundation with excellent resonance and sustain. The beautifully executed Bourbon Burst finish highlights the flame maple's natural figuring, lending the instrument a warm, vintage-inspired aesthetic that turns heads both on stage and off.
'60s Slim Taper Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard
The Les Paul Standard '60s is fitted with a fast-playing Slim Taper mahogany neck, true to the original 1960s profile. Topped with a bound rosewood fingerboard and acrylic trapezoid inlays, the neck offers smooth, responsive playability ideal for both rhythm and lead guitarists.
Powerful Burstbucker Pickups
Equipped with calibrated Burstbucker 61R and 61T humbuckers, the guitar delivers a vintage-accurate PAF tone with clarity, warmth, and bite. These pickups capture the soul of the original 1960s models, offering everything from clean bluesy chime to classic rock growl. With hand-wired controls and Orange Drop capacitors, tonal fidelity is preserved across the full frequency spectrum.
Reliable Hardware and Authentic Detailing
The guitar includes vintage-style Keystone tuners, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece for reliable performance and tuning stability. Every detail, from the aged binding to the top-hat control knobs, reinforces the authenticity and attention to detail that Gibson is known for.
