GIBSON 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard VOS V1 Antiquity Burst #00490
1960 Reissue Les Paul
With the Gibson 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard VOS V1 Antiquity Burst, the Gibson Custom Shop celebrates the diamond anniversary of the 1960 Les Paul, which marks the end of the legendary "'Burst" era. As an authentic recreation of an electric guitar from the first third of the production year, the Gibson 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard VOS V1 is a virtually unchanged continuation of the much sought-after 59 models with a stronger "Authentic '59 Medium C" neck profile, "Top Hat Knobs" on the controls and Kluson "Single Line/Single Ring" tuners. Naturally the classic construction features a one-piece mahogany body, flamed maple top and glued mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard, while Gibson Custombuckers promise the authentic vintage tone. Furthermore, a 60th Anniversary medallion covering the switch compartment makes the Gibson 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard VOS V1 Antiquity Burst a true collector's piece.
The Gibson 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard VOS V1 Antiquity Burst is an authentic replica of a 1960s Les Paul and conveys a true vintage feeling in sound and look.
The neck of the Gibson 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul is glued with long-neck tenon and hide glue. A 60th Anniversary medallion serves as a cover for the switch cavity.
Authentic in construction and feel
The construction of the Gibson 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard VOS V1 Antiquity Burst naturally follows the historical specifications. Accordingly, this electric guitar features a one-piece mahogany body that carries a bookmatched flamed maple top and a glued mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard. While the use of the long neck base and hard hide glue for all wood joints promises a lively sound with long sustain, the rounded "Authentic '59 Medium C" neck profile offers comfortable playability. Furthermore the VOS nitrocellulose finish with vintage patina conveys the look and feel of a perfectly played-in original.
Gibson Custombuckers with Alnico III magnets and a hand-wired circuit with paper-in-oil caps and "Top Hat Knobs" deliver genuine vintage sounds with authentic PAF character.
Gibson Custombuckers for the pure vintage sound
The Gibson 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard VOS V1 Antiquity Burst gets two Gibson Custombuckers from the luthiers of the Gibson Custom Shop, which, with Alnico III magnets and unwaxed coils, prove to be authentic replicas of the legendary PAF humbuckers. They deliver a vibrant vintage sound with velvety lows, vocally singing mids and a breezy treble range that can be used to play both clean and distorted blues, jazz or rock songs. The pickups are controlled via the classic 3-way toggle switch circuit with separate volume and tone controls from CTS for each pickup. Authentic paper in oil capacitors furthermore promise particularly smooth treble cuts.
On the headstock of the Gibson 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard VOS V1 Kluson "Single Band/Single Ring" tuners guarantee exact tuning.
Gibson 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul featuring historically correct hardware
A historically accurate selection of hardware completes the Gibson 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard VOS V1, and while the classic combination of aluminum stopbar and ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, invented by Ted McCarty, guarantees optimal adjustment of intonation and string action, the strings are guided to the Kluson Deluxe tuners via a nylon nut on the headstock, which feature "Single Band" lettering on the body and "Single Ring" wings like in the first third of the production year. A metal 60th Anniversary medallion covers the switch cavity, giving the Gibson 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard VOS V1 Antiquity Burst a special touch.
