Gibson 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue  Heavy Aged - Wide Tomato Burst 

Step back into the golden age of rock and roll with this Gibson Custom Shop 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue, meticulously crafted with a Heavy Aged Wide Tomato Burst finish. This isn't just a guitar; it's a meticulously recreated masterpiece, capturing the sleek feel and fiery tone that defined a pivotal year for the Les Paul. The '60 Les Paul is renowned for its slimmer, faster neck profile compared to its '58 and '59 counterparts, making it an absolute joy to play for those who crave speed and comfort without sacrificing that iconic Gibson punch. Imagine the riffs you'll lay down, drawing from a legacy embraced by guitar giants like Eric Clapton, Joe Walsh, and Paul McCartney, all of whom famously wielded '60 Bursts.

Beyond its stunning aged aesthetic and comfortable neck, the heart of this beast lies in its unpotted Custombucker Alnico III pickups. These pickups are engineered to deliver the unmistakable, open, and dynamic voice of vintage PAFs, translating every nuance of your playing with incredible clarity and warmth. Whether you're chasing the bluesy wail of Clapton's early work, the gritty rock of Joe Walsh, or just looking to carve out your own sonic signature, this Les Paul provides the perfect tonal foundation. It's more than an instrument; it's a conduit to an era when rock and roll was taking over the world, ready for you to write its next chapter.
