Description
There's something timeless about a great Les Paul; the way it looks, the way it feels, and the way it responds when you dig in. The Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue in Heavy Aged Iced Tea Burst captures all of that magic and more. Whether you're a vintage purist, a collector, or a tone chaser looking for something truly special, this one speaks your language. Modeled after the revered 1960 original, it delivers the same sleek feel and cutting tones favored by legends like Clapton, Page, and Walsh, all while offering a faithful recreation you can actually put to work.
Crafted with Gibson Custom Shop precision, this Les Paul boasts a one-piece lightweight mahogany body topped with a beautifully figured two-piece maple cap. The hide-glue construction ensures a resonant and dynamic tonal core, while the 60s SlimTaper neck profile offers that fast, effortless feel players of all stripes crave. Dual unpotted Custombucker pickups loaded with Alnico 3 magnets push vintage tone to the front of the stage; they're wired up with hand-selected CTS pots and paper-in-oil caps to deliver clarity, warmth, and that unmistakable bite when you open up the volume.
Playability is exactly where you'd want it; the SlimTaper profile is sleek without being too thin, and the Indian rosewood fingerboard with medium jumbo frets makes for smooth, articulate runs up and down the neck. Intonation and tuning are rock solid thanks to the Kluson tuners, no-wire ABR-1 bridge, and lightweight stop bar tailpiece. Whether you're tracking in the studio or stepping out under stage lights, this guitar feels ready and responsive.
Visually, the Heavy Aged Iced Tea Burst finish and decades-deep checking of the Murphy Lab treatment give this Les Paul a seriously authentic look. Every detail, from the aged Royalite binding to the gold butyrate knobs, tells the story of a guitar that's been loved and played for decades. It even includes a brown/pink Lifton reissue hardshell case and all the vintage-style case candy to seal the deal.
The 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue Heavy Aged is more than just a Custom Shop creation; it's a living tribute to a golden era of guitar design. From its feel to its tone to the way it looks under the lights, this one's the real deal. At Cream City Music, we're proud to offer guitars like this-built with care, built to last, and built to inspire.
