Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s Faded Electric Guitar, Vintage Bourbon Burst

Vintage, modern, and everything in between – the Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s Faded. Achieving new heights in sound and specification, this entry to the Gibson canon arrives for fans new and experienced to take part in a fresh chapter.

Whether you're experienced in Les Pauls or this is your first, this Les Paul Standard starts out simply with a time-tested combination of mahogany and maple. This combination of a mahogany body and a AA carved, figured maple top hearkens to Gibson's Golden Era for a great balance of warmth and brightness across the two woods. Acting as an excellent springboard off which the rest of the instrument can leap, this classic combo is a winner. The body, wrapped in a satin lacquer finish, translates a silky feel to the touch for a comfortable connection. Single-ply cream binding lines this guitar's top and fingerboard for a great accent on its burst finish.

The basis of the form for this classic Gibson continues with a mahogany neck shaped in a 60s-style SlimTaper profile. Players seeking that time-tested profile need look no further as this vintage-style neck feels streamlined and ready to play. The neck is capped with a rosewood fingerboard adorned with twenty-two articulate frets. When it comes to outstanding humbucking tonality, this Les Paul Standard is a total treat. This model is outfitted with a pair of Gibson 60s Burstbucker pickups that summon a timeless and formidable voice. Meeting their namesake with great kick and tonal warmth, these Burstbuckers play boldly and clearly to get creative and inspired with. Audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors come hand-wired to this pickup configuration to ensure high fidelity when rolling through this Les Paul's spectrum of sounds. Gold Top Hat knobs appear with silver reflectors and dial pointers to add that extra element of Les Paul style.

A couple of quality hardware specifications land to tie this Les Paul's whole experience together. An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge grounds strings at the base of the scale with an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece. This balance is mirrored at the headstock with a Graph Tech nut and six Grover Rotomatic tuning machines with Kidney buttons. Fully, this Les Paul Standard 60s is exceptionally stable for playing adventurously. That adventure keeps rolling with an included Gibson hardshell case for safe travels from gig to gig.

Embodying the essence of what makes the Les Paul an icon, this exciting model from Gibson sets out for a homerun and lands it.
