Description

The Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS in Iced Tea Burst captures the final evolution of the original Burst in stunning detail. With its fast 60s SlimTaper neck, lightweight mahogany body and a pair of articulate Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups, it delivers the unmistakable clarity, bite and warmth that defined countless classic rock, blues and pop recordings. Every element of this Custom Shop reissue has been meticulously recreated, from the hide-glue construction and long-tenon neck joint to the chemically re-engineered plastics and period-correct hardware. The result is an instrument that feels, responds and sounds like a well-preserved original 1960 Les Paul Standard, complete with a gently aged Nitrocellulose VOS finish that looks like it has gracefully matured over decades. Players who love the iconic Les Paul sound but prefer a slimmer, faster neck will feel instantly at home. The 60s SlimTaper profile offers effortless playability for fluid lead work and complex chord voicings, while the non-weight-relieved body and figured maple top provide the sustain, punch and harmonic richness that only a proper Burst-style build can offer. Whether you are a serious collector seeking period-correct detail or a working guitarist chasing the feel and tone of a genuine 1960 Burst, this Custom Shop reissue delivers a truly authentic vintage ownership experience, straight out of the case. Authentic 1960 Burst Feel The 60s SlimTaper neck profile is one of the defining features of the original 1960 Les Paul Standard, and it has been recreated here with pinpoint accuracy. It is noticeably slimmer than a 1958 or 1959 carve, making fast runs, wide stretches and modern techniques feel natural and comfortable, while still retaining enough depth for a solid, reassuring grip. Vintage-Correct Construction From the long-tenon neck joint to the hide-glue fit between neck and body, this guitar is built using traditional methods that maximise resonance and sustain. The one-piece lightweight mahogany back and two-piece figured maple top work together to produce a rich, complex voice with plenty of midrange punch and singing overtones, just like an original Burst. Custombucker Alnico 3 Pickups A matched pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 humbuckers provides the heart of the tone, offering a sweet top end, open midrange and tight, musical lows. They capture the nuance and dynamic response of vintage PAFs, cleaning up beautifully with the volume controls and pushing an amp into glorious overdrive when you dig in. Period-Accurate Hardware and Plastics Every visible detail has been considered, from the no-wire ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminium stop bar tailpiece to the gold Top Hat knobs with silver reflector inserts and double-ring Kluson tuners. Chemically re-engineered plastics and aged cellulose nitrate inlays complete the look, giving you the visual authenticity and tactile feel of a true 1960 original. Key Features 60s SlimTaper Neck Profile – The fast, comfortable 60s SlimTaper carve is ideal for players who prefer a slimmer neck, making intricate lead lines, bends and vibrato easier while still offering enough substance for secure rhythm playing. Custombucker Alnico 3 Pickups – These meticulously voiced humbuckers deliver classic late 50s and early 60s Les Paul tones, with articulate highs, warm mids and a dynamic response that rewards expressive playing and responds beautifully to your picking hand. Vintage-Spec Construction – A one-piece lightweight mahogany back, two-piece figured maple top and long-tenon, hide-glue neck joint provide exceptional resonance and sustain, giving you the depth, punch and bloom associated with the most desirable vintage Bursts. VOS Nitrocellulose Finish in Iced Tea Burst – The Nitrocellulose VOS (Vintage Patina) finish in Iced Tea Burst offers the look and feel of a gently aged original, allowing the guitar to resonate freely while providing a timeless, classic aesthetic that will continue to wear a…
