Gibson Les Paul 1960 Classic in Vintage Sunburst, (Used)

The Gibson Les Paul 1960 Classic in Vintage Sunburst pays tribute to one of the most iconic eras in electric guitar history, combining vintage aesthetics with modern reliability. Featuring a solid mahogany body with a carved maple top, this guitar delivers the signature Les Paul tone—rich, warm, and full of sustain. The Vintage Sunburst finish is applied with a nod to the original bursts of the late ’50s and early ’60s, allowing the wood grain to subtly show through beneath its deep amber and dark outer edges.

At the heart of its tone are a pair of open-coil humbuckers, which offer a range of sounds from smooth cleans to aggressive lead tones. The slim taper neck profile is modelled after the 1960 version, offering a faster, more comfortable feel compared to the chunkier profiles of the late '50s. The rosewood fingerboard, trapezoid inlays, and bound top add to its vintage-correct appeal, with an ABR 1 tune-o-matic bridge with the controls—two volume, two tone, and a three-way selector—keep the layout familiar and intuitive.

This Les Paul Classic is a compelling choice for players who love the look and soul of vintage guitars but want the tuning stability, build consistency, and performance of a modern instrument. From blues and jazz to rock and metal, it handles a wide range of styles with authority and class. With its timeless design and expressive tone, the 1960 Classic in Vintage Sunburst stands as a refined workhorse and a visual homage to the golden age of Gibson guitars.
