Gibson Custom Shop 1960 Les Paul Reissue Electric Guitar – VOS Washed Cherry Burst

Series & Model: The Gibson Custom Shop 1960 Les Paul Reissue recreates the final year of the original Les Paul Standard era, preserving the essential character of the legendary late-’50s Burst while introducing the slimmer neck profile that distinguished the 1960 model. Gibson Custom Shop instruments are renowned for historically focused construction, meticulous craftsmanship, and premium components, and this 1960 Reissue follows that tradition with hide-glue construction, period-inspired plastic components, Custombucker Alnico III pickups, and vintage-correct appointments. The VOS Washed Cherry Burst configuration is especially compelling for players and collectors who want the expressive power of a classic Les Paul paired with the fast, comfortable feel associated with the 1960 neck.

Style: Washed Cherry Burst presents the carved maple top with a rich red-to-amber burst that evokes the appearance of an original vintage Les Paul. The VOS treatment subtly softens the finish’s sheen to create the visual character of a treasured instrument. Aged nitrate trapezoid inlays, reflector control knobs, double-ring Kluson-style tuners, nickel hardware, and the classic single-cutaway silhouette complete the iconic presentation.

Build Notes: The guitar features a mahogany body with a maple top, mahogany neck, and 12″ Indian rosewood fingerboard. Its 1960 Slim Taper profile provides a noticeably faster, more streamlined feel than the fuller necks associated with earlier Les Pauls. Two Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers are paired with CTS 500K audio-taper potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors, while a no-wire ABR-1 bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide traditional Gibson sustain and resonance.

Availability: This instrument is brand new, factory fresh, and ready for immediate playability.

Features & Included Items: Features include two Custombucker Alnico III pickups, 3-way pickup selector, CTS 500K audio-taper pots, paper-in-oil capacitors, 22 medium frets, 1960 Slim Taper neck, Indian rosewood fingerboard, no-wire ABR-1 bridge, Kluson-style double-ring tuners, nickel hardware, VOS Washed Cherry Burst finish, and a Gibson Custom Shop reissue hardshell case with accompanying documentation and accessories.

The Sound: The Custombucker Alnico III pickups deliver the rich, harmonically complex voice that makes a vintage-style Les Paul so compelling. Expect thick, singing sustain, woody low mids, smooth highs, and excellent note separation, with the bridge pickup capable of snarling overdrive and the neck pickup delivering warm, vocal lead tones. Clean, the guitar remains articulate and dynamic; pushed through an amplifier, it becomes a powerful platform for blues, rock, fusion, and classic lead work.
