Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s, Unburst
Few guitars carry the weight of legend quite like the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s in Unburst. With roots that run deep into rock history and a voice that’s every bit as commanding today, this is a guitar built for players who know tone isn’t just a sound—it’s a statement. And in its understated yet striking Unburst finish, this Les Paul whispers vintage class while roaring with unmistakable authority.
The body is pure tradition: solid mahogany for that rich, resonant low-end, capped with a beautifully figured AA maple top that adds brightness, bite, and just the right amount of shimmer. Finished in gloss nitrocellulose, the Unburst top oozes a quiet confidence—no frills, just firepower.
The neck? Fast and familiar. Gibson’s classic SlimTaper '60s profile makes for a sleek playing experience, ideal for everything from articulate lead runs to sturdy rhythm work. The rosewood fingerboard is smooth under the fingers, with trapezoid inlays and medium jumbo frets that feel just right the moment you plug in.
And plug in you should—because the tone here is nothing short of iconic. With a pair of 60s Burstbucker humbuckers under the hood, loaded with Alnico V magnets, you get all the snarling mids, sparkling highs, and creamy sustain that defined a generation of tone. Whether you're coaxing bluesy warmth or ripping into searing leads, these pickups respond with detail and dynamic flair. Hand-wired pots and Orange Drop capacitors complete the circuit, giving you tight control and musicality at every twist of the knob.
Hardware is rock-solid and elegantly appointed—an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece ensure excellent sustain and tuning stability, while Grover Rotomatics handle the tuning with silky precision.
The Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s in Unburst isn’t just a guitar—it’s a legacy in your hands. And at Musicmaker, we’ve seen what happens when the right player meets the right Les Paul: magic. If you’re ready to write your own chapter in rock history, this one’s waiting in the wings.
