Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS Iced Tea Burst w/case 05391

Serial: 05391
Weight: 8 lbs 4.9 oz

The Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue captures the final evolution of the original Burst era Les Paul—retaining all the resonance, sustain, and authority of a late-’50s Standard while introducing the fast-playing slim neck profile that made the 1960 model a favorite among players who wanted vintage tone with a quicker feel. Finished here in classic Iced Tea Burst VOS, this example delivers understated vintage appeal with all the historic accuracy expected from Gibson Custom Shop.

1960 was the last year for the original Les Paul Standard, and while it remained nearly identical to the celebrated 1959 model, the most notable change was the slimmer neck profile. Gibson specifically highlights the fast-playing slim neck as the defining feature of the model, along with reflector knobs and wider double-ring tuner tips that distinguish a true 1960 reissue. This gives players the harmonic richness and dynamic response of a Burst with a slightly faster, more agile playing experience.

A premium figured maple top sits over a lightweight one-piece mahogany back, delivering the strong midrange voice, sustain, and harmonic bloom that define a great Les Paul. Hide glue construction, long neck tenon fit, and vintage-correct appointments all contribute to the lively acoustic response and touch sensitivity serious players expect from Gibson Custom’s Historic Collection. At 8 lbs 4.9 oz, this example lands in an ideal weight range—resonant, balanced, and comfortable for extended stage or studio sessions.
