Vintage Original Spec

To achieve VOS status - as this guitar has - a Gibson guitar needs to feature as much authenticity to the model it represents as possible.

In this case the guitar features the exact same specifications as the same Les Paul Standards released towards the middle of 1960 - including the slimmer neck, not to mention the materials and glue used.

Top Notch Construction

As with the original 1960 Les Paul Standard, this 60th Anniversary Custom Shop model features a solid Mahogany back piece, and is topped with a two-piece Figured Maple cap, fixed in place with genuine hide glue.

In addition to this, there's a solid Mahogany neck carved with an authentic '60 Slim C-profile shape, and topped with a Rosewood fingerboard.

Overall the guitar delivers a playing experience that's a combination of rock-solid stability and killer tone - the hallmarks of the guitar it has been built to celebrate.

Custombucker Pickups

Over the decades many pickup makers have attempted to recreate the magical tone of the original PAF humbuckers, and many of them fall short - but not with the Gibson Custombucker!

Thanks to the Alnico III magnets in them, these pickups deliver a mellow, smooth, and rounded tone - the closest you can get to the original PAF's - and are favoured by countless professional players the world over.

Available In Limited Numbers

As stated earlier, these guitars are available in limited numbers around the world, so if it takes your fancy we recommend you place your order sooner rather than later to avoid missing out.
