DETAILS
The Les Paul Standards manufactured in 1960 – all 635 of them – represented the last attempts by Gibson to modify the guitar’s existing design in an effort to improve sales numbers that had fallen steadily since 1956. The guitars produced during the first half of 1960 were generally considered to be an extension of the 1959 Les Paul Standard, with the majority having thicker, rounded neck profiles (though not as thick as 1958), and many of them experiencing the same fading paint problem with the finish. By mid 1960, however, Gibson had begun manufacturing the Les Paul Standard with a much thinner neck profile, known today as the ’60s Slim Taper profile.
The Gibson Custom Shop has produced a few 1960 Les Paul Standard's in a custom Ebony finish with all the classic '60 features. And this one weighs under 8lbs.
