Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Product Overview by GAK
Wow! It's rare we get guitars that leave us speechless! This is one of just 5 guitars in an extremely limited UK only collection from the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville. This fine example of a 1960 Les Paul has a fantastic handpicked figured Maple top complimented by a lovely Antiquity Burst aged finish. A superb slim neck profile make this a '60 to be reckoned with.
The UK Collection is one of the most exclusive ranges of guitars ever offered by Gibson's Nashville Custom Shop. It comprises just five sets of True Historic spec Les Pauls based on the 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959 & 1960 reissues. All sets feature handpicked tops and factory heavy ageing as well as an exclusive UK Certificate of Authenticity and 'UK' serial number.
With the True Historic range, Gibson Custom commits to a fanatic level of detail accuracy to bring you as close as possible to owning an original 1960 Gibson Les Paul. A double-carved and hand-sanded top and neck, hand wet-sanded finish, hand-filed rolled fingerboard binding, and plastics replicated from molecular-level analysis of original vintage parts headline only a few of the extensive and obsessive details found in each of the very limited number of True Historic 1960 Les Pauls offered. Add a pair of superbly accurate Custom Bucker pickups, re-created from precise study and measurement of original PAFs, and that legendary Burst tone is all there. You simply can't get closer to the real thing... than the real thing!
