Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s Mahogany Top Electric Guitar, TV Yellow

Wowing Les Paul fans from across decades, the Les Paul Standard 60s Mahogany Top carries with it classic Les Paul Standard style with modern Gibson design. This unique breed of Les Paul touches down today to bring its iconic image to life for players new and experienced.

This Les Paul Standard strays from the beaten path off the bat with its body construction. More similar to some Les Paul Customs rather than the tried-and-true Les Paul, this Standard 60s is constructed with a mahogany body and top. Where maple is normally the choice of top for the Les Paul, this mahogany selection makes for a more midrange-focused, slightly warmer tone from the get-go.

The Les Paul Standard 60s continues on from there at a familiar pace. Its mahogany neck assumes a 60s-style SlimTaper profile while its rosewood fingerboard is lined with twenty-two frets. Seamlessly playable across the palm and the fingers, this Les Paul plays with speed and comfort. Single-ply black top and fingerboard binding ties the body together for a slick visual sum.

The audible experience of this Les Paul Standard kicks ahead with the addition of two Gibson Burstbucker 61 humbucking pickups. These pickups sing and bark with a cool spectrum of sounds to get creative with and play with a stellar voice clean, overdriven, distorted, and anywhere else in between. Wired to audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors, the Burstbuckers offer a responsive and high-fidelity sound across its full amplified range.

A number of fine hardware specifications build upon this sonic profile. An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece ground strings solidly for sturdy intonation. These pieces are matched at the guitar's opposite end with a Graph Tech nut and six Grover Rotomatic Kidney Button tuning machines. Streamlining string changes and assuring consistent playability across the full scale length, these hardware specs compound for a totally solid instrument. This Les Paul Standard 60s Mahogany Top travels with a Gibson hardshell case from gig to gig, making its name known.

As a classic variant on an iconic instrument, this Les Paul Standard 60s Mahogany Top pushes classic sound and modern playability to excellent degrees.
