Why Choose The Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s Iced Tea?

Classic 60s Les Paul Feel

The Les Paul Standard 60s is designed for players who want the look, feel and sound associated with early-1960s Les Paul Standards. The SlimTaper neck profile gives it a faster, slightly sleeker feel than a chunkier 50s-style Les Paul.

Non-Weight-Relieved Mahogany Body

The non-weight-relieved mahogany body gives this guitar a traditional solid Les Paul feel, with strong sustain, depth and authority.

AA Figured Maple Top

The AA figured maple top adds visual character and gives the Iced Tea finish a premium look. It also contributes brightness and definition to the warmth of the mahogany body.

60s Burstbucker Humbuckers

The dual 60s Burstbucker pickups are loaded with Alnico 5 magnets and voiced for classic Gibson humbucker tone. Expect strong output, clear upper mids, singing sustain and plenty of power for clean, crunch and driven sounds.

Hand-Wired Controls

The hand-wired control assembly with Orange Drop capacitors gives this Les Paul a traditional, high-quality wiring layout with responsive volume and tone control.

ABR-1 Bridge And Aluminum Stop Bar

The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum stop bar tailpiece provide classic Les Paul feel, sustain and adjustability.

Gibson Hardcase Included

The included Gibson hardcase provides proper protection for storage, transport, rehearsals and gigs.

Comparison Against Popular Alternatives

Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s vs Les Paul Standard 50s

The Les Paul Standard 50s has a rounder neck profile and a more 1950s-inspired feel. The 60s model is better suited to players who prefer a slimmer neck and a slightly faster playing experience.

Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s vs Les Paul Studio

A Les Paul Studio offers a more stripped-back Gibson experience. The Les Paul Standard 60s adds the full classic Standard look, figured maple top, binding, premium appointments and stronger flagship appeal.

Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s vs Les Paul Classic

A Les Paul Classic often includes more modern switching options depending on year. The Les Paul Standard 60s is better for players who want a more traditional, no-nonsense Les Paul with classic appointments.

Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s vs Fender Stratocaster

A Stratocaster is brighter, lighter and single-coil focused. The Les Paul Standard 60s gives a thicker humbucker voice, more sustain and a fuller rock/blues sound.
