Gibson Custom Shop Historic 1960 Les Paul Standard 2018 BRUGT

BRUGT

Used, but in great condition, and looks fantastic. Super lightweight at only 3600g.

1960 was the last year for the original Les Paul Standard and single-cut Les Pauls in general, as the SG model was lined up to replace them with a more “modernistic” look. This year also saw the adoption of new “reflector” knobs and a new slim neck shape, a perfect profile for the many famous musicians who played ‘60 Bursts including Eric Clapton, Joe Walsh, and Paul McCartney.

Gibson Custom’s ‘60 Les Paul Standard is a painstakingly-accurate replica of the highly-valuable originals rendered in detail so intricate that even the chemical composition of the parts has been scientifically examined and re-engineered – and that’s just one small example. Sonically, visually, and tactilely, owning a Gibson Custom Historic Les Paul Standard is as close as one can get to owning a priceless original.
