Gibson Custom Shop 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard V2 VOS Electric Guitar - Orange Lemon Fade

Our Take:

A celebration of the 1960 Les Paul Standard, the 60th Anniversary Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul proudly recreates an experience that many guitar players would not be able to experience otherwise. This particular model is a V2 of the three-part series - meaning it shares the same specs as the coveted '59 models, but with thinner neck profiles, brighter finishes, and different control knobs. Those who adore the sound of a '59 LP but can't quite wrap their hands around the neck will no doubt appreciate this V2 model of the 60th Anniversary series, which delivers the same huge tone and stunning looks as the V1 but with a more accessible neck.

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.
