Six decades of musical history comes alive in this extraordinary limited-edition 60th Anniversary Les Paul Standard, honouring the legendary 1960 model that revolutionised music across countless genres. Gibson Custom Shop artisans have meticulously recreated the magic of owning a priceless vintage original through exhaustive research and painstaking attention to detail.
The craftsmen have faithfully reproduced the three distinct variations found throughout 1960's production run. Early year models (V1) maintained the same specifications as their 1959 predecessors, whilst the middle period (V2) introduced thinner neck profiles alongside different knobs and brighter colour options. The final production phase (V3) pushed boundaries further with even slimmer neck profiles, giving players diverse tonal and playing characteristics to suit different musical styles.
This historic limited run includes premium appointments befitting such a significant milestone: a special 60th Anniversary switch plate, comprehensive Certificate of Authenticity booklet, and vintage replica hardshell case. Each instrument in this commemorative series offers musicians the opportunity to own a piece of guitar-making heritage that has inspired generations of players.
