2021 Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s - Bourbon Burst

The Altitude Summary

This all-original guitar plays beautifully and has low action, a ton of punch, and looks fantastic.  It is a used guitar that shows signs of wear, as pictured (we did our best to capture everything), but aside from some surface scratches and small dings, this guitar is a true treasure.  The case exhibits some surface scuffs, and a few small rips on the corners as per the pictures.  The frets are in excellent shape, with some wear as pictured.  Overall, this guitar is stellar.  We were able to obtain the original Guitar Center receipt of $2699 - which these guitars are now $2999 new!

The 60s Burstbucker pickups, complete with period-correct unmatched windings on the bobbins, precisely capture the subtle nuances of authentic humbucker tone. Plug into your desired amplifier and experience a smooth low-end response, dynamic midrange crunch, and rich high-end tones.

The control assembly is expertly handwired with precisely matched potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors, ensuring that the Les Paul Standard 60s - Bourbon Burst delivers its unmistakable tone at any volume level.

SlimTaper neck and Plek’d frets for optimized playability

Gibson's top priorities in designing the Les Paul Standard '60s were comfort and playability. The SlimTaper neck profile offers a perfect fit for your hand, while the rosewood fingerboard is expertly buffed and bound with rolled edges for a smooth and effortless playing experience. The frets are precisely dressed using the Plek Pro machine, a level of precision typically reserved for high-end custom guitars, resulting in the most playable fretboard you'll ever own.

Nitro finish for the look and feel of a classic

The Les Paul Standard '60s by Gibson features a stunning nitrocellulose lacquer finish. This classic nitro finish is thinner than modern polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to "breathe" and improving its overall tone.
