Gibson Custom 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard V2 Electric Guitar - Orange Lemon Fade

Scarlett Music are pleased to present the Gibson Custom 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar with Orange Lemon Fade Finish. The '59 Les Pauls may hog the collector's limelight, but to players in the know, the 1960 Les Paul Standard introduced some of the most enticing features these iconic solid-bodies have ever presented. This limited-edition 60th Anniversary model celebrates the iconic 1960 Les Paul Standard, which has shaped music across genres for six decades. The artisans at Gibson Custom Shop have proudly recreated the experience of owning a priceless original thanks to painstaking attention to detail and tireless study of vintage examples, closely following the three distinct versions seen within 1960. To celebrate this guitar's 60th anniversary, Gibson Custom has released three versions of the 1960 Les Paul Standard — in three distinct versions to accommodate for neck, finish, tuner, and knob variances. Those made in the first third of the year (V1) had the same specs as 1959 models, while the middle third (V2) had thinner neck profiles, different knobs and brighter colours. The final third (V3) featured even thinner neck profiles. Each version is available within this historic limited run of instruments, inspiring players in different ways. Included is a 60th Anniversary switch plate, a commemorative Certificate of Authenticity booklet and a vintage replica hardshell case. Features: Highly collectible — includes a Gibson Certificate of Authenticity Solid one-piece mahogany body (not weight relieved) sports a beautifully figured 2-piece flame maple top Custombucker Alnico III pickups supply dead-on vintage PAF tone Internally wired with historic CTS 500K pots and paper-in-oil caps Hide glue construction supplies exceptional sustain and response Thin VOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish To revive the essence of mid-year 1960 Les Paul Standards, Gibson painstakingly re-created each element piece by piece. The full-weight mahogany body, 2-piece figured maple top, and solid rosewood fingerboard are only the beginning. A hide glue neck joint delivers classic Les Paul sustain, and aged cellulose Trapezoid inlays supply classic Les Paul aesthetics. Beginning with vintage CTS potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors, every inch of the 60th Anniversary Les Paul Standard's internal signal path was designed to give you absolutely dead-on 1960 Les Paul tone. Of course, it's next to impossible to find genuine vintage PAFs (even for Gibson). Instead, the 60th Anniversary sports a pair of Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers — some of the most historically accurate Gibson PAF copies ever created. The 60th Anniversary's Amber Butyrate Top Hat knobs with Silver Inserts provide a dynamic throw and an added dose of classic '60s character. Gibson analyzed the appointments and wear patterns on several vintage 1960 Les Paul Standards to create the finish patterns for the 60th Anniversary V1. If you're after an authentic vintage playing experience, the Gibson 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard V1 VOS is spec'd to please even staunch 1960 enthusiasts.
