Used 2001 Gibson Les Paul Classic “1960” serial number 010330.

This guitar is in very good condition showing playing time without abuse. The “1960” print on the pickguard is partially worn off.

The enduring Les Paul design has gone through numerous changes and variations through its evolution, and continues to do so to this day. This version, the "Classic” is not regarded as a “reissue” but more as a special model reminiscent of the features from 1960. Basically a “Standard” but with some differences.

The neck is a 60’s slim taper, press-fit bushings on the keystone tuners instead of bolt bushings, aged trapezoidal inlays, uncovered 500T/496R ceramic pickups, "1960" engraved on the pickguard, 60's inked serial number "Les Paul Classic" on the headstock, "Classic" on the truss rod cover.

We would have called this finish Amber but it seems Amber wasn’t used on LP Classics. Further investigation shows Gibson used Unburst (amber with no sunbusrting) on some LP Standards. Amber, Unburst. A Les Paul Classic finish by any other name would rip just as sweet [with apologies to Willie The Shake]

Classics are cool. It’s really a Standard with ceramic pickups at a noticeably lower price. Plays great, sounds great, ready for more!

Original hard-shell case included.

“We carefully inspect every instrument when we buy it and bring it up to our standards before we offer it for sale. We also do a full set up before we ship. If you decide to purchase this guitar, please let us know what gauge strings you prefer.”

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.

This is a specific item that is also being offered for sale in our brick & mortar location. It is possible that it has just been sold. Please ask if it is still available before purchasing.

*It is our policy to require a signature on delivery of all musical instruments. Please let us know if you prefer no signature required when ordering or we will automatically require a signature.

If you prefer your item to be sent without a required signature Imperial Guitar and the selected carrier can no longer be responsible for the security of the package once it has been delivered.
