A Welcome Return To A Classic Design

With the introduction of a dual-humbucker Les Paul guitar in 1957, the guitar-playing landscape was changed forever. The sounds generated by these monsters opened up a whole new tonal spectrum for guitarists.

By the early 1960s the AlNico 2 magnets in the pickups had been replaced by a more powerful AlNico 5, giving players more headroom, and paving the way for future rock and metal guitarists.

In honour of those legendary early-60s guitars, Gibson have returned to those roots with the new Les Paul Standard 60s models.

Classic LP Construction

In true 60s Les Paul tradition, this Gibson Les Paul Standard features a classic single cutaway design, with its solid Mahogany back topped with a piece of AA Figured Maple.

This tonewood combination not only looks fantastic - especially with the Unburst finish - but produces a naturally rich tone, with plenty of high end snap.

In addition to this there's a set-in Mahogany neck, with a slim-taper profile, giving a rock-solid feel, and a truly comfortable playing experience.

BurstBuckers

To recreate that powerful, early '60s, AlNico V PAF tone, Gibson have fitted a set of BurstBucker 61 pickups to the new Les Paul Standard.

Whether you want those thick, creamy Neck position tones for a guitar solo, or those biting Bridge position sounds for some heavy riffing, this is the guitar for you.
