The Gibson 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS Washed Cherry Sunburst is an authentic new edition of the electric guitar that marks the last year of the legendary Holy Grails, right down to the smallest detail. Accordingly, the electric guitar has the historically correct appointments and construction features for a first-class playing feel and lively blues and rock sounds. While the one-piece mahogany body has a chic curly maple top, the glued mahogany neck features long-neck tenon and a fingerboard made of Indian rosewood. The historically correct "slim taper" profile guarantees extremely comfortable playing characteristics. Gibson Custombucker pickups with Alnico III magnets and a hand-wired circuit with oil-paper capacitors ensure the authentic PAF character of the sound. Last but not least, the Gibson 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue features matching hardware in the form of Kluson single line/double ring tuners and the classic combination of a no-wire ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminium stopbar tailpiece.
The Gibson 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS Washed Cherry Sunburst is an authentic reissue of the legendary third vintage of the Holy Grail Burst Les Pauls.

Gibson 1960 Les Paul Reissue in authentic construction
For the construction of the Gibson 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue, the Gibson Custom Shop relies on the authentic construction methods of the golden era. Accordingly, all wood joints are made with hide-glue, which guarantees optimum sound development across the entire instrument thanks to its glass-hard consistency. While the one-piece mahogany body carries a chic curly maple top, the one-piece mahogany neck is glued to the sustain-promoting long neck tenon. The slim, authentic "Slim Taper" neck profile also offers the best playing characteristics across the entire rosewood fingerboard.
Two Gibson Custombuckers and a hand-wired circuit with paper-in-oil caps deliver authentic vintage sounds with authentic PAF character.
Gibson Custombucker pickups for first-class PAF sounds
The electric sound conversion of the 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS is handled by two Gibson Custombucker pickups in the neck and bridge position. As authentic replicas of the legendary PAF pickups of the golden age, the Alnico III humbuckers deliver first-class vintage sounds with a warm, broad mid-range spectrum and a lively response that captures every nuance of playing in detail. A hand-wired circuit with high-quality CTS potentiometers manages the pickups, while classic oil-paper capacitors enable smooth and harmonious treble roll-offs.
Kluson machine heads with historically correct double-ring wings guarantee an exact and stable tuning of the Gibson 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS.
High-quality hardware equipment
Last but not least, the Gibson 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS Washed Cherry Sunburst features high-quality hardware in a historically accurate style. Behind the nylon saddle on the headstock are six Kluson tuners with authentic double-ring wings that guarantee precise and accurate tuning. On the body, the combination of a No-Wire ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and an aluminium stopbar designed by Ted McCarty also offers extensive possibilities for optimum adjustment of intonation and string action.
