Up for sale, a 2023 Gibson Les Paul Standard ‘60s in showroom-clean, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the hardshell case, hangtags, and case candy. This modern iteration of the Les Paul platform pays tribute to Gibson’s golden age, featuring a solid mahogany body with a carved AA figured flame maple top, a SlimTaper ‘60s-style mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard, no-wire ABR-1 bridge, Grover Rotomatic tuning machines, Burstbucker ‘61 PAF pickups, and a gloss Unburst nitro lacquer finish.
The Burstbucker ‘61 humbuckers feature Alnico V magnets (yet differ from a Burstbucker Pro in their tonal response) and deliver an array of traditional Gibson tonalities, with a dynamic and harmonically-rich bridge pickup, while a neck position humbucker is fat and sweet. Weighing 9lbs 12oz, this Les Paul Standard ‘60s has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
