Description
The Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue left-handed electric guitar is a clone of the originals, from the hide-glue construction to the chemically re-engineered plastic parts. Each one is built with extreme care, reverence and attention to detail by expert Gibson Custom Shop craftspeople who are committed to providing an authentic vintage ownership experience. 1960 was the last year for the original Les Paul Standard, nearly identical to a 1959 model except for a few specs. Most notably, it features a fast-playing slim neck profile, beloved 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.
