Solidbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Body, Maple Top, Mahogany Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups – Sparkling Burgundy

Wield Gibson’s Winning Formula

The Gibson Les Paul Standard ’60s Plain Top boasts the classic design that’s kept this solidbody electric guitar relevant, played, and loved throughout the decades. You get tried-and-true maple-over-mahogany construction, and its ’60s Burstbucker pickups milk every ounce of tone out of its musically resonant body. The Les Paul Standard ’60s Plain Top’s set mahogany neck wields Gibson’s time-tested SlimTaper profile, and its Plek’d 12-inch-radius Indian rosewood fingerboard offers playability that’s second to none. A Graph Tech nut, ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge, aluminum stopbar tailpiece, and Grover Rotomatic tuners with kidney buttons round out this Les Paul Standard’s hardware. You also get single-ply body and fingerboard binding, acrylic trapezoid fingerboard inlays, a mother-of-pearl headstock logo, and a spotlight-stealing nitrocellulose lacquer finish. If you’ve been wanting a modern Les Paul with a slinky ’60s feel and premium appointments, we have your axe. The Gibson Les Paul Standard ’60s Plain Top is the one you’ve been waiting for.

Vintage PAF tone

When it comes to bottling vintage Patent Applied For (PAF) humbucker tone, nothing beats the sound of this Les Paul Standard’s ’60s Burstbucker pickups. These magnets — along with period-correct unmatched windings on the bobbins — capture the subtle historical variations in true humbucker tone. Plug into your favorite amp and experience smooth low-end response, complex midrange crunch, and sweet-sounding highs. These pickups sound great clean, or they can be used to push your amp into overdrive for the legendary fat, snarling tone you can only get with a humbucker. Under the hood, the control assembly is handwired with audio-taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors, ensuring you’ll hear the mellifluous voice of the Les Paul Standard ’60s Plain Top in all its glory, even when you back down your volume.

SlimTaper neck and Plek’d frets

Comfort and playability were Gibson’s primary concerns when designing the Les Paul Standard ’60s Plain Top. You’ll be delighted by how this guitar’s SlimTaper neck profile comfortably fits your hand just the right way. For your playing pleasure, the rosewood fingerboard is buffed to silky smoothness and bound with rolled edges so that no fret ends impede your dexterity. The frets are dressed to perfection using a Plek Pro machine for optimized playability. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you’ll likely own.

Classic nitrocellulose lacquer finish

Gibson gave the Les Paul Standard ’60s Plain Top a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes — standard back in the day — are significantly thinner than today’s polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to “breathe.” Nitro finishes not only look amazing, but they also enhance the instrument’s tonal qualities. The Les Paul Standard ’60s Plain Top has the look and feel of a lovingly cared-for classic — one that will only improve with age.
