About This Product!
Description
In 1960 the Les Paul Standard still had the flame maple top, sunburst finish, and "Patent Applied For" pickups of its predecessors, but a slim taper neck was added for a decidedly different feel. These final adjustments failed to save the Standard, however, and after 1960 the single cutaway Les Paul was replaced by the thin bodied, double cutaway SG.

Gibson 1960 Les Paul VOS Customer Review
Feature:
the case needs to be bigger
Quality:
mirror Finnish everything is tight solid guitar
Value:
this guitar is worth every penny I no longer need to be looking for the perfect Les Paul I just bought what I've been looking for all these years. If the retailer start lowering the price on this guitar it will be disappointing because it is worth what I paid for it
Desirability:
It is an American classic other companies have tried to copy this but they have not come close to the original when Gibson put their name on this classic they made a statement Gibson there is no substitute. I love my stats to but this bad boy is amazing
Sound:
I have three Paul's 56 gold top, a standard les paul and this new reissued 1960 les paul. this is a great great guitar I love the way it plays, the sound is amazing I didn't think there would be that much of a difference but there really is you put this les paul in front of a tube amp and will make the tubes sing. It has a feeling of confidence , very responsive to all the different styles. In the studio it will make your lead sit right on top huge sound
Ease of Use:
I have had this guitar for 4 months now and I am falling in love with this guitars everyday the tone is magnificent this guitar will stand up to any guitar I own
Support:
Don't know I have never had to deal with them ever. They build great guitars
Overall:
It is simply the best Les Paul you can buy for the money. every guitar is different but I must say that if it was stolen I would be very sad . I would immediately go out and try to find a 1960 re issue to replace it. When I bought this guitar I had no idea how nice it really was going to be my hat is off to the boys and girls at Gibson what a winner.

"A piece of history."
Feature:
Would give it a 10, except for the tuners. The pick-ups are awesome.
Quality:
Again I would give it a 10 except for the cheap low quaity tuners. Come on when you pay several thousand dollars for a quality guitar, shouldn't Gibson spend an extra $30.00 or so for better tuners.
Desirability:
Everyone who knows anything about guitars has to own a Les Paul.
Sound:
Sound great. Just like a Les Paul should. I can get a Dirty sound very easy, as well as a crytal clear sound that sends shivvers down my spine. I run it through a crate half stack as well as a marshall and epiphone halfstacks. The tuners have to go. I casn not belive that Gibson would put such cheap tuners on a guitar that cost so much.
Ease of Use:
The easiest guitar I have ever owned to get a great sound from. Just plug it in and you have a great start.
Support:
Have not had to deal with then yet. But I have talked with others who have expressed the same opinion on their low quality tuners. I was not impressed by what they said Gibson had told them conserning the tuners.
Overall:
When I replace the tuners the Les Paul will be a keeper for the rest of my life. I like it more than my Les Paul custom.
