Description
The 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS in Iced Tea Burst is more than a reissue; it's a love letter to the golden age of electric guitar craftsmanship. With its refined slim neck carve and unmistakable maple top, this guitar is tailor-made for players who crave speed, tone, and vintage mojo. Whether you're a vintage collector or a serious stage player, this guitar delivers that late-'50s/early-'60s Les Paul feel in a way that's hard to put down.
This model honors the transitional year of 1960; a time when Gibson gave the Les Paul its sleeker neck profile without compromising its legendary tone. From the hand-selected maple top to the carefully aged VOS nitro finish, everything here speaks to Gibson Custom Shop's commitment to authenticity. The Custombucker Alnico III pickups are unpotted and full of breath and bite, capturing the articulate clarity and raw punch that made the originals so sought after.
The 60s SlimTaper neck profile is smooth and fast without ever feeling thin. The Indian rosewood fingerboard is comfortable under your fingers, and the medium-jumbo frets offer easy bending and precision across the board. Coupled with a solid mahogany body and long tenon neck joint, sustain and resonance are second to none. And with no weight relief, the tone remains full, focused, and truly vintage-correct.
Visually, the Iced Tea Burst finish is the perfect nod to the faded bursts of early '60s models. The gently aged patina of the VOS nitrocellulose finish adds that extra layer of character and soul; it looks like it's already lived a life onstage.
This 1960 Les Paul Reissue is the real deal. Every detail has been sweated, and the result is a guitar that looks, feels, and sounds like a golden-era original. At Cream City Music, we love it because it's not just a reissue; it's an experience waiting to happen.
