59 Les Pauls may hog the collector's limelight, but to players in the know, the 1960 Les Paul Standard introduced some of the most enticing features these iconic solidbodies have ever presented. To commemorate this guitar's 60th anniversary, Gibson Custom has released three versions of the 1960 Les Paul Standard — in three distinct versions to accommodate for neck, finish, tuner, and knob variances. Each 60th Anniversary Les Paul Standard is rendered in stunning detail and comes outfitted with historic appointments and electronics. The non-weight-relieved solid mahogany body with hide-glued flame maple top delivers unsurpassed Les Paul richness and resonance. For the V3 edition, the body is hide glue–fit to a period-correct Skinny "C" mahogany neck that's beautifully adorned with a 24-3/4"-scale Indian rosewood fingerboard and enhanced with Kluson Single Line/Double Ring tuners. Paired with Gibson's Custombucker Alnico III pickups, vintage CTS pots, and paper-in-oil caps, the Gibson 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard V3 VOS is a recipe for unforgettable tone and performance.
To revive the essence of late-year 1960 Les Paul Standards, Gibson painstakingly re-created each element piece by piece. The full-weight mahogany body, 2-piece figured maple top, and solid rosewood fingerboard are only the beginning. The crown jewel in this piece is the ultra-thin Skinny "C" neck profile — one of Gibson's slimmest and most daring necks to date. If you're a lead player who loves classic Les Pauls but wants less wood between your palm and fingers, the V3 is a standout option. A hide glue neck joint delivers classic Les Paul sustain, and aged cellulose Trapezoid inlays supply classic Les Paul aesthetics.
Beginning with vintage CTS potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors, every inch of the 60th Anniversary Les Paul Standard's internal signal path was designed to give you absolutely dead-on 1960 Les Paul tone. Of course, it's next to impossible to find genuine vintage PAFs (even for Gibson). Instead, the 60th Anniversary sports a pair of Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers — some of the most historically accurate Gibson PAF copies ever created. The 60th Anniversary's Amber Butyrate Top Hat knobs with Silver Inserts provide a dynamic throw and an added dose of classic '60s character.
Gibson analyzed the appointments and wear patterns on several vintage late-year 1960 Les Paul Standards to create the finish patterns for the 60th Anniversary V3. Its wide stains and colorfast nitro finishes adhere to Standards released throughout the last third of this red-letter year. Its Single Line/Double Ring Kluson tuners are authentic to this late-year run as well, as represented here in these painstaking re-creations. If you're after an authentic vintage playing experience, the Gibson 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard V3 VOS is spec'd to please even staunch 1960 enthusiasts. Gibson Custom's Vintage Original Sheen finish option comes standard on Custom Shop Historic Reissue models. The VOS finish package includes lightly aged parts that imparts an authentic vintage patina. The nitrocellulose finished it buffed to a light matte appearance, giving a look and feel of a guitar that has been lovingly played and cared for over the years.
