Gibson 1960 Les Paul Reissue in Authentic Construction
For the construction of the Gibson 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue, the Gibson Custom Shop relies on the authentic construction methods of the golden era. Accordingly, all wood joints are made with hide-glue, which guarantees optimum sound development across the entire instrument thanks to its glass-hard consistency. While the one-piece mahogany body carries a chic curly maple top, the one-piece mahogany neck is glued with a sustain-promoting long neck tenon. The slim, authentic "Slim Taper" neck profile also offers the best playing characteristics across the entire rosewood fingerboard.
Two Gibson Custombuckers and a hand-wired circuit with paper-in-oil caps deliver authentic vintage sounds with an authentic PAF character.
Gibson Custombucker pickups for first-class PAF sounds
The electric tone conversion of the 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS is handled by two Gibson Custombucker pickups in the neck and bridge positions. As authentic replicas of the legendary PAF pickups of the golden age, the Alnico III humbuckers deliver first-class vintage sounds with a warm, broad mid-range spectrum and a lively response that captures every nuance of playing in detail. A hand-wired circuit with high-quality CTS potentiometers manages the pickups, while classic oil-paper capacitors enable smooth and harmonious treble roll-offs.
Kluson tuners with historically correct double-ring wings guarantee precise and stable tuning of the Gibson 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS.
High-quality hardware equipment
Last but not least, the Gibson 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS Washed Cherry Sunburst impresses with its high-quality hardware in historically accurate style. Behind the nylon saddle on the headstock are six Kluson tuners with authentic double-ring wings, which guarantee precise and accurate Tuning. On the body, the combination of a no-wire ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and an aluminium stopbar designed by Ted McCarty offers furthermore extensive possibilities for optimal adjustment of intonation and string action.
