Gibson Custom Shop 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS - Washed Cherry Burst

The year is 1960. Rock 'n' roll is exploding. Guitars are getting faster. And Gibson launches the final version of the original Les Paul Standard — with a slim-taper neck profile, a fiery Washed Cherry Burst, and the same PAF-fueled tone that shaped galaxies of sound.

Now, Gibson’s Custom Shop resurrects this legend with vintage-spec accuracy that borders on time travel. The 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS isn’t just a guitar — it’s a sonic escape pod from the golden age of tone.

The 1960 Les Paul Reissue delivers that unmistakable burst tone — warm mids, tight lows, and singing highs — with a faster neck that feels like it was built for hyperspace soloing. This is the Les Paul that bridges the ‘50s blues rock traditions with the speed and aggression of the decades to follow.

If the ’58 is thunder, and the ’59 is fire… the ’60 is laser precision.
