Gibson 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue Heavy Aged – iconic Burst with SlimTaper neck and Murphy Lab finish
Gibson 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue Heavy Aged recreates the final year of the original Les Paul™ Standard from Gibson’s Golden Era. Built by the Gibson Custom Shop with hide-glue construction and re-engineered vintage plastics, this instrument delivers an authentic vintage tone, feel, and look that honors one of the most sought-after guitars ever made.
Overview and construction
The body features a one-piece lightweight mahogany back topped with a two-piece figured maple cap attached using hot hide glue. The solid mahogany neck has a long tenon joint and the famous 60s SlimTaper™ profile – fast and comfortable, just like the original 1960 models. The Indian rosewood fingerboard includes 22 medium jumbo frets and aged cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays.
Electronics and tone
Powered by two Custombucker humbuckers with Alnico 3 magnets, hand-wired and un-potted to retain their open, vintage character. The circuit includes CTS 500K audio taper potentiometers and Paper-in-Oil capacitors, along with a Switchcraft 3-way selector and 1/4" output jack for reliable performance and period-correct tone.
Details and hardware
Features a No-Wire ABR-1 bridge, lightweight aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, and Kluson Single Line / Double Ring tuners with wider “double-ring” tips. Gold Butyrate Top Hat knobs with silver inserts complete the authentic 1960 look. The Murphy Lab Heavy Aged finish adds realistic play wear and aged nickel hardware for a genuine vintage aesthetic.
