Description
This Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue is for players who want an authentic vintage feel without going into Custom Shop pricing. Modeled closely after the original '60 Les Paul Standard, it's a great match for intermediate to advanced players who care about era-correct specs and tones. It's part of Epiphone's Inspired by Gibson Custom lineup, and the level of accuracy here-from the AAA flame maple top to the exact neck carve-is something we rarely see in this price range.
You're getting a solid mahogany body with a AAA maple top, a long tenon mahogany neck with a Rounded '60s C profile, and a rosewood fingerboard-all elements that contribute to classic Les Paul tone and sustain. The real story here is under the hood: a pair of Gibson USA Custombuckers, unpotted just like the originals, wired up with CTS pots and Luxe Bumblebee caps. The result is that dry, open PAF sound, with a lot of clarity and dynamic range. Great for players chasing vintage tones or anyone recording blues, classic rock, or soul.
Playability is excellent; the 24.75" scale and comfortable neck make this one easy to dig into, whether you're doing bends or intricate runs. The Graph Tech nut, ABR-1 bridge, and Epiphone Deluxe tuners give it solid tuning stability, and it holds up great on stage or in the studio. We've seen a lot of these come through, and this one really nails what a vintage-style Les Paul should feel like.
