Gibson 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard VOS V3 Washed Bourbon Burst #01231

Authentic in construction and feel

The design of the Gibson 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard VOS V3 Washed Bourbon Burst adheres, of course, to the historical specifications. Accordingly, the electric guitar has a one-piece mahogany body, which supports the Bookmatched-joined Flamed maple top and a glued mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard. While the use of the long Halsfußes and hard hide glues for all wood joints promises a lively sound with long sustain, the extremely slim "Authentic '60 Skinny C" neck profile offers comfortable playing characteristics. Furthermore, the VOS nitrocellulose finish with vintage patina conveys the look and feel of a perfectly played-in original.
