Accordingly, this electric guitar features a one-piecemahoganybody that carries a bookmatched flamed maple top and a glued mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard. While the use of the long neck base and hard hide glue for all wood joints promises a lively sound with long-lasting sustain, the the slimmer "Authentic '60 Slim C" neck profile offers superb playability.

Equipped with Alnico III magnets, these humbuckers prove to be authentic replicas of the legendary PAF humbuckers of the "'Burst" era and deliver an absolutely genuine vintage sound. Vocal mids, powerful articulated basses and a silky treble spectrum together with the lively dynamics of the pickups create the perfect foundation for the classic sounds of blues and rock. In addition, the hand-wired 3-way circuit with historically correct oil-paper capacitors allows for precise adjustment of the timbre. The high-quality CTS potentiometers of these capacitors carry the classic "Reflector Knobs".
On the headstock of the Gibson 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard VOS V2, Kluson "Single Band/Double Ring" tuners guarantee precise tuning.
