It's like going back in time and picking up a treasure to bring back with you. This Custom Shop 1960 Les Paul Standard packs all the tonal nuances and unparalleled playability that really helped to make these guitars legendary in the hands of artist like Eric Clapton, who wielded a slim-necked 1960 Les Paul Standard on the most influential blues-rock album of all time, John Mayall Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton, which is often referred to as the "Beano" album. The time-tested tonewood combination of mahogany and maple, the classic duo of Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, and a pair of Gibson's PAF-style BurstBucker humbucking pickups all work toward a tonal splendor that no other guitar can equal. Add to these the 1960 Les Paul Standards' long-tenon neck joint, traditionally back-angled headstock, and thin, breathable nitrocellulose finish, and you've got a guitar that sings and resonates like no other. This guitar weighs 9 lbs. 1.5 ozs. She light on your back and extremely resonant! The thickness of the neck measures .821 at the first fret and .930 at the 12th. This guitar is extremely RARE and highly collectible as well as beautiful and an awesome player! It is 100% MINT UNPLAYED AND UNOWNED and comes complete with the (new for 2012) Gibson Custom Shop Brown Tolex case, certificate of authenticity, and MAGIC!
