Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features

Built with period-correct details, it features a 2-piece figured maple top, a lightweight mahogany body, and a nitrocellulose VOS finish for an authentic aged look. The '60s SlimTaper neck profile offers a fast, comfortable feel, while the long tenon hide-glue construction enhances sustain and resonance.
Equipped with unpotted Custombucker Alnico III pickups, this Les Paul delivers the dynamic, articulate tones of the original PAFs. The no-wire ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminium stop bar tailpiece provide rock-solid tuning stability, while historically accurate plastics, Kluson tuners, and gold top hat knobs with reflector inserts complete the vintage aesthetic. A true tribute to a legendary era.

The Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue is built with an unwavering dedication to historical accuracy. Every detail, from the 2-piece figured maple top to the lightweight, one-piece mahogany back, is designed to match the iconic models of 1960. Hide-glue construction is used throughout, ensuring a bond between the tonewoods that enhances resonance and sustain. The nitrocellulose VOS finish adds a subtle aged patina, giving this guitar the look and feel of a well-preserved vintage instrument straight from the golden era of Gibson craftsmanship.
The defining feature of the 1960 Les Paul Standard was its fast-playing neck profile, and this reissue captures that feel with precision. The '60s SlimTaper neck is crafted from solid mahogany, providing a comfortable yet sturdy grip that makes rapid playing effortless. The long tenon construction, set with hide glue, ensures maximum energy transfer between the neck and body, contributing to the guitar’s legendary sustain. With an Indian rosewood fretboard and medium-jumbo frets, this guitar offers a silky-smooth playing experience suited for rhythm and lead work alike.
Delivering the unmistakable voice of a vintage Les Paul, the Custombucker Alnico III pickups are wound to recreate the legendary PAF tone. These pickups are unpotted, just like the originals, allowing them to breathe and respond dynamically to your playing. The result is a rich, articulate sound with warm lows, singing mids, and crisp highs that cut through the mix. From searing rock leads to smooth blues tones, these pickups handle it all with stunning clarity and vintage character. Paired with CTS 500K audio taper potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors, they offer a truly authentic tonal response.
Everything about this reissue is designed to transport you back to 1960, from the nickel hardware to the historically accurate plastics. The no-wire ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminium stop bar tailpiece ensure tuning stability and precise intonation while keeping the weight balanced. Gold top hat knobs with silver reflector inserts, aged cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays, and Kluson single-line tuners with double-ring tips all contribute to the unmistakable vintage look. Even the truss rod, with its authentic 1950s no-tube design, is crafted to match the original models in every way.
Gibson Custom Shop’s commitment to authenticity is evident in every aspect of this reissue. The chemically re-engineered plastics, including the pickguard, switch washer, and jack plate, are painstakingly recreated to match the aging process of original components. The neck joint, featuring a long tenon and hide-glue fit, ensures a rock-solid connection for maximum sustain. Even the amber Catalin switch tip is carefully designed to resemble those used in the late '50s and early '60s. Every element of this guitar has been built with expert craftsmanship, delivering a truly vintage ownership experience that honours the legacy of the original 1960 Les Paul Standard.
