Les Paul guitar in authentic Sixties style
With the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s Mahogany Top, TV Yellow, Gibson USA presents an electric guitar as part of the Original Collection that authentically captures the spirit and sound of the innovative singlecut models from the early 1960s. In addition to the mahogany body without weight relief and the mahogany top, the guitar has a slim taper mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard that sits comfortably in the hand. At the guitar amplifier, Gibson '60s Burstbucker open-coil pickups deliver typical vintage sounds with authentic PAF character, which can be customized via the hand-wired circuit with Orange drop capacitors. Last but not least, the Les Paul Standard '60s Faded Vintage Cherry Sunburst from Gibson features Grover Rotomatic tuners and the tried-and-tested ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum stopbar setup.
Authentic '60s style in look and sound: The Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s Mahogany Top, TV Yellow comes with "Slim Taper" mahogany neck and neck and Burstbucker humbuckers.
In addition to the mahogany body without weight relief, the Les Paul Standard '60s Faded has a glued neck with a "slim taper" profile.
Classic construction for the typical Les Paul sound
The construction of the Les Paul Standard '60s Mahogany Top, TV Yellow naturally follows the historical specifications in order to achieve the unadulterated and powerful sound character. Accordingly, Gibson dispenses with a weight relief in the mahogany body, while the mahogany top emphasizes the dignified look of the guitar. With the pleasantly slim "Sim Taper" profile of the sixties, the glued mahogany neck also promises comfortable playing characteristics right up to the high registers of the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard.
Gibson Burstbucker pickups promise lively blues and rock sounds with a vibrant vintage PAF character.
Burstbucker 61 pickups with nickel cover and hand-wired circuitry
Gibson chose two Burstbucker pickups for the Les Paul Standard '60s. Equipped with Alnico V magnets, the humbuckers promise an authentic PAF character with an accentuated mid-range spectrum and airy dynamics, and to elicit harmonically resolved cleans and powerful Overdrive with singing Sustain from the guitar amplifier. n order to be able to precisely adjust the guitar sound, Gibson also relies on the classic, hand-wired 3-way circuit, which provides the popular Orange Drop capacitors for smooth treble roll-offs in addition to separate volume and tone controls for each pickup.
The "Open Book" headstock of the Les Paul Standard '60s carries Grover Rotomatics for stable and precise tuning.
Traditional Vintage-Style hardware
Of course, Gibson completes the Les Paul Standard '60s Faded Vintage Cherry Sunburst with the traditional hardware equipment that more than fulfills professional demands on stage and in recording Studio. On the body, the strings are guided from the lightweight aluminum stopbar via the classic ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, which was developed by legendary Gibson president Ted McCarty to guarantee precise adjustment of intonation and string action. At the headstock in the coveted "Open Book" Style, a GraphTech nut also guides the strings to six Grover Rotomatic tuners, which combine high precision and tuning stability with classic Vintage-Looks.
