Gibson Custom True Historic 1960 Les Paul Reissue Vintage Lemon Burst

The Gibson True Historic line is the pinnacle of vintage reissues. Focussing on delivering the most detailed and historically accurate reissue possible, Gibson utilise world renowned craftsmanship and the finest materials to ensure the end result is as close to a vintage Gibson as possible.

Inspired by the '60 Les Paul Standard, the True Historic '60 features a double-carved and hand-sanded Maple top. Atop a crisp Mahogany body, it is rich, resonant and authentically vintage. This time tested tonewood combo has been around since the very start and with results like this it is easy to see why. Gibson have used real hide glue to attach the top, a big plus for tone purists as hide glue is known to improve the resonance and sustain of the guitar. Finished in a period correct Vintage Lemon Burst thin layer lacquer it's as if this guitar walked straight out of the '60s.

A new feature for the True Historic range is the development of True Historic Plastics. Through 'molecular level analysis', Gibson have redeveloped all plastic components with new shapes and compounds to match the original plastics much more closely. It's a small improvement but further enhances Gibson's desire to produce the most accurate reissue possible.

Much like the body, the neck is double carved and hand-sanded. In the traditional Mahogany with Rosewood fingerboard combination, it delivers everything you would expect with from the pinnacle of modern Les Paul construction.

A pair of PAF styled Custom Bucker pickups provide the rich, deep tones we all know and love. Re-created to the same specs and measurements of the original PAF pickups you really can't get any closer to the real thing!
