Description

The Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s, now available in the captivating Pelham Blue finish, stands out as a unique addition to the Les Paul family. This model epitomizes the essence of later-year vintage Les Pauls, renowned for adopting a slimmer neck profile and hotter pickups, delivering a distinct tonal and playing experience.

Drawing inspiration from the Cadillac color catalog of the 1960s, the Pelham Blue finish infuses the Les Paul Standard '60s with an enchanting and attention-grabbing allure. This visually captivating choice is thoughtfully complemented by the guitar's refined aesthetics, including gold "top hat" style knobs featuring silver reflectors, cream plastics, and nickel pickup covers.

A prominent feature of the Les Paul Standard '60s is its SlimTaper neck profile, designed for a sleeker and faster playing experience, catering to those who seek agile and nimble performance.

Remaining true to the timeless tradition of Les Paul guitars, the Les Paul Standard '60s upholds the legacy of impeccable craftsmanship and immediate solidity. Its foundation remains rooted in a non-weight relieved Mahogany body, crowned by a single-ply bound plain Maple top. The guitar also boasts a classic Indian Rosewood fingerboard adorned with 22 standard frets and classic Acrylic Trapezoid inlays.

In terms of pickups, the Les Paul Standard '60s features Gibson 60s BurstBucker pickups, wound around Alnico V magnets. These pickups deliver a hotter tonal character with enhanced attack and midrange presence, making the guitar an exceptional choice for players seeking a pronounced and dynamic tonal response.

The Les Paul Standard '60s in Pelham Blue pays homage to the enduring allure of the electric guitar. It offers players a versatile and expressive instrument, poised to make its mark in any musical genre.
