Gibson Les Paul Standard ‘60s Faded Electric Guitar - Vintage Cherry Sunburst

The Gibson Les Paul Standard ‘60s Faded Electric Guitar is a stunning instrument that possesses high-grade appointments and generates an amazing PAF-style humbucker tone whilst also providing first-class comfort and playability. 

The Gibson Les Paul Standard ‘60s Faded Electric Guitar’s body is crafted from resonant Mahogany and capped by a beautiful AA Flamed Maple top. Its Mahogany neck is home to a smooth-playing Rosewood fingerboard. In addition to the neck’s comfortable SlimTaper ‘60s-style profile, the fingerboard boasts rolled edges and Plek-d frets that furnish this guitar with a very high standard of playability.

Typically reserved for high-spec, top-end custom guitars, the Plek Pro process is a precision fret-levelling process that leaves the fretboard amazingly smooth. Gibson has seen fit to give the more modestly priced Gibson Les Paul Standard ‘60s Faded Electric Guitar the same treatment - an amazing perk for a guitar in this price bracket.

These ‘60s Burstbucker pickups have been specially designed to generate the much-sought after ‘PAF’ humbucker tone of the early Gibson guitars, and they certainly deliver. They utilise Alnico 5 magnets and period-correct unmatched bobbin windings to capture all of the subtle nuances present in true humbucker tone, resulting in a highly authentic voice. They sound great clean, but can be driven to perform like high-gain, snarling animals. These Burstbuckers are supported by a handwired control assembly featuring matched potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors for the finest, optimised performance possible.

The Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s Faded Electric Guitar is packed with many other high-end appointments, such as a TUSQ nut and Grover tuning machines and comes in a hardshell case to help protect its gorgeous satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The Nitro finish is carefully applied to be as thin as possible to allow the guitar to breathe, enhancing its tonal qualities.
