Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: A majority of frets showed evidence of play wear. As such, the frets were leveled, recrowned, and polished back to a near mint state. The guitar required a full adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. No further work was required.
Own a piece of history with this Gibson Custom Shop 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul R0, a meticulously crafted reissue that celebrates a legendary year for the instrument. Weighing a perfect 8.5 lbs, this guitar features a solid mahogany body and a stunning figured maple top, giving it a resonant, woody foundation. With its authentic VOS (Vintage Patina) nitrocellulose lacquer finish and unpotted Custombucker Alnico III pickups, this Les Paul sings with a raw, dynamic character that’s truly special. The legendary slim 1960s neck profile makes for fast, effortless playing, while the hide-glue construction ensures a rock-solid feel. This is a superbly set-up instrument, ready to be played and cherished for years to come—a magnificent investment for any player or collector!
From Gibson Guitars
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. 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 colors. 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.
