In 1960 the Les Paul Standard still had the flame maple top, sunburst finish, and Patent Applied For pickups of its predecessors, but a slim taper neck was added for a decidedly different feel. These final adjustments failed to save the Standard, however, and after 1960 the single cutaway Les Paul was replaced by the thin bodied, double cutaway SG.

Gibson Custom Historic 1958 Les Paul Standard Vintage Original Spec Electric Guitar (with Case)
$ 3699.0

During the late 1950's in an effort to boost sales of the Les Paul Model, Gibson abandoned the familiar gold finish and used a translucent, cherry sunburst finish which showed off the figured maple tops that were often used. The renamed Les Paul Standard made its debut in 1958. VOS series guitars are faithful recreations of Gibson's iconic models and capture the richness of a Gibson guitar that has been aging and gently played over the last 50 years. Now part of Gibson's proprietary new Vintage Original Spec series -- the next step in their journey toward perfection.

Gibson Custom 50Th Anniv. 1960 Les Paul Electric Guitar
$ 5999.0

The Gibson Les Paul guitars of the late '50s and early '60s have become among the most prized electric guitars on the planet. But to say "the" Les Paul is actually somewhat misleading because Les Paul guitars varied not only from year to year as the model's specs evolved, but even within the same year of manufacture.To accurately represent the variations in specifications and finish within original examples manufactured in 1960, Gibson is offering three versions of this hallowed vintage electric guitar.Version 1At the start of 1960, the Gibson Les Paul retained the same specs as its predecessor from 1959, although it did receive the official "Les Paul Standard" designation in place of the former "Les Paul Model" (a name that its headstock nonetheless still retained). Among these details were the full, rounded neck profile, top-hat control knobs, and Heritage Cherry Sunburst or Heritage Dark Sunburst finish, and these are the very characteristics with which the Gibson Custom Shop has imbued. The first Version of the 50th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard electric guitar might be confused for a 1959 Les Paul guitar if not for the 1960 serial number stamped into the back of the guitar's headstock at the dawn of this new decade, and the R0 serial number of this 50th Anniversary Les Paul guitar. This version is available in heritage Cherry Sunburst and Heritage Dark Burst finishes.Version 2Version 2 represents the neck's transition from full to slima progression that was gradual, rather than suddenin the form of a Gibson Custom Shop 50th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard with thinner, yet still somewhat rounded and "elliptical" neck profile, based on painstaking research and detailed scans of several transitional '60s Les Paul guitars that were studied by the Custom Historic and Engineering team. To represent this alteration visibly, Version 2 will be offered in two classic "faded" 'Burst colors: Light Iced Tea and Sunset Tea Burst. Version 3The third version of the Gibson Custom Shop 50th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard is represented by an electric guitar with the slim-tapered neck for which late-'60 Les Pauls have become famous, along with the double-band tuners and gold top-hat control knobs with the "new" silver inserts that were fitted to these guitars. Version three features a '60s Cherry Burst finish.Furthermore, Version 3 of the Gibson 1960 Les Paul accurately represents the changes in the finishing process at Gibson in the latter part of 1960, in its more vibrant, colorfast Cherry Sunburst, a finish that stood the test of time somewhat better than many of the sunbursts that preceded it. In addition to these pertinent details, the Gibson Custom Shop 50th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard guitar pack all the tonal nuances and unparalleled playability that really helped to make these guitars fabled in the hands of artist like Eric Clapton, who wielded a slim-necked 1960 Les Paul Standard on the most influential blues-rock album of all tim
