Gibson Custom Shop 1960 Les Paul Standard 60th Anniversary V1 Electric Guitar - VOS Deep Cherry Sunburst

Our Take:

As a V1 model, this guitar is spec’d after a ’59 Les Paul…and you know we love a good '59. This one has everything you would want: the "just right" neck profile; flame maple top; deep, resonant Mahogany body; and powerful Custombucker Alnico III’s. It’s a phenomenal recreation of a guitar that will forever have a place in Rock and Roll history. 

Gibson's Take: 

This limited-edition 60th Anniversary model celebrates the iconic 1960 Les Paul Standard, which has shaped music across genres for six decades. The artisans at Gibson Custom Shop have proudly recreated the experience of owning a priceless original thanks to painstaking attention to detail and tireless study of vintage examples, closely following the three distinct versions seen within 1960. Those made in the first third of the year (V1) had the same specs as 1959 models, while the middle third (V2) had thinner neck profiles, different knobs and brighter colors. The final third (V3) featured even thinner neck profiles. Each version is available within this historic limited run of instruments, inspiring players in different ways. Included is a 60th Anniversary switch plate, a commemorative Certificate of Authenticity booklet and a vintage replica hardshell case.
