Description
The 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS in Tangerine Burst captures a vibrant slice of rock 'n' roll history. With its leaner neck profile, bold Custombucker tones, and a finish that practically glows, this guitar is made for players who want vintage swagger and standout stage appeal. Whether you're chasing classic tones or just want a Les Paul that breaks from tradition in the right way, this one checks every box.
Gibson's Custom Shop put serious heart into recreating the 1960 Standard. The Tangerine Burst finish brings a rare and radiant look to the figured maple top, and the VOS treatment gives it just enough age to feel authentic. Underneath, it's all vintage DNA: a solid mahogany body, long tenon neck joint, and no weight relief. You get real-deal sustain, excellent harmonic complexity, and a tone that rings with every note.
Plug it in and the unpotted Custombuckers come alive. They breathe and bark like a well-aged PAF, with the kind of midrange clarity and sweet breakup that made the originals the backbone of so many great records. The CTS pots and paper-in-oil caps let you shape your tone with vintage accuracy, making it easy to dial in just the right amount of bite or bloom.
Comfort-wise, the 60s SlimTaper profile hits a sweet spot for modern players. It's easy on the fretting hand while still feeling like a proper vintage carve. The Indian rosewood board feels smooth and natural, while the medium-jumbo frets offer the right balance between traditional feel and modern performance. It's an ideal blend of old soul and current playability.
The Tangerine Burst finish is where this one really steps out. It's bold but elegant, and the subtle VOS patina adds a warmth that makes it feel like it's been part of your life for years. It's not just a finish; it's a statement.
This Les Paul is a standout in every way. From tone to feel to looks, it's one of those guitars that doesn't just meet expectations; it inspires new ones. And here at Cream City Music, we couldn't be more excited to offer it to players who want vintage authenticity with a little extra personality.
