Discover the GIBSON Custom Shop 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS Tangerine Burst #04552, a guitar that captures the essence of vintage models while offering modern craftsmanship.

Overview

The year 1960 marked the end of the iconic Les Paul Standard “Burst” trilogy, which first appeared in 1958 and 1959. With only 635 units produced, this guitar is now one of the most sought-after instruments on the vintage market. Replaced by the SG design in 1961, it wouldn’t return in its original form until 1968. The distinctive “Slim Taper” neck profile offers a more comfortable grip, establishing the “60’s neck” as the benchmark for modern Les Pauls.
