Gibson Custom Historic 1960 Les Paul Standard Vintage Original Spec Electric Guitar (with Case)
In 1960 the Les Paul Standard still had the flame maple top, sunburst finish, and "Patent Applied For" pickups of its predecessors, but a slim taper neck was added for a decidedly different feel. These final adjustments failed to save the Standard, however, and after 1960 the single cutaway Les Paul was replaced by the thin bodied, double cutaway SG.

Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded Features "50s Rounded Neck Profile Angled Headstock Adjustable Truss Rod 22-Fret Rosewood Fingerboard Mahogany Body and Maple Top Nickel and Silver Alloy Fret Wire Trapezoid Inlays Set-Neck Construction Chambered Body Gibson Burstbucker ProPickups Tune-O-Matic Bridge Nitrocellulose Finish Gibson Logo "50s Rounded Neck Profile No guitar neck profiles are more distinguishable than the neck profiles employed on the Gibson models of today. The more traditional "50s neck profile"found on the Les Paul Studio"is the thicker, rounder profile, emulating the neck shapes of the iconic 1958 and 1959 Les Paul Standards. The neck is machined in Gibson"s rough mill using wood shapers to make the initial cuts. But once the fingerboard gets glued on, the rest"including the final sanding"is done by hand. That means there are no two necks with the exact same dimensions. So while it still has the basic characteristics of its respective profile, each neck will be slightly different, with a distinct but traditional feel. Gibson's Burstbucker Pro Pickups Gibson"s drive to recapture the magic of the original Patent Applied For humbucker pickups of the 1950s culminated with the introduction of the Burstbucker line in the early 1990s. Those Burstbuckers"Types 1, 2, and 3"successfully captured the subtle variations of true, classic humbucker tone with historically unmatched bobbin windings and Alnico II magnets. In 2002, Gibson followed up this innovative accomplishment with yet another breakthrough in pickup design"the Burstbucker Pro, designed specifically for the new Les Paul Standards. The Burstbucker Pro features an Alnico V magnet (instead of the Alnico II), which offers slightly higher output and allows preamps to be driven a little harder to achieve a more natural break-up. Like all Burstbuckers, the Burstbucker Pro has asymmetrical coils"true to the original PAFs"which supply a more open sound. The Burstbucker Pro Neck is wound slightly less than the original PAFs, while the Burstbucker Pro Bridge is slightly overwound for increased output. The Burstbucker Pro
