Following in the path of one of the world's most coveted vintage guitars, the Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a wonder for players seeking an authentic Standard experience. The 1960 Les Paul – a dream of a find for collectors – gained a formidable reputation for its sound and playability. This Epiphone model joins in on the "Inspired by Gibson Custom" series with faithful and authentic specs and sounds for a Les Paul Standard experience as you've always known it.

There's plenty to explore with this "Inspired by Gibson Custom" model that you'd find similar to original 1960 Gibson models. This all begins with a genuine mahogany single-cut body paired with a AAA flamed maple veneer top. Summoning all the warmth and brightness of Gibson's classic tonewood combo, this Epiphone model is weighted and held authentically for a familiar feel when carried with a strap or held over the knee.

While original 1960 Les Paul Standards were constructed similarly to 1959's, a key distinction was the change to a faster SlimTaper neck. The "Inspired by Gibson Custom" model drops in with a one-piece mahogany neck taking that cue. A '60s SlimTaper profile enables faster playing and a smooth grip in hand while a bound rosewood fingerboard with Mother-of-Pearl trapezoid inlays inspires long playing sessions.

For its voice, this Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue introduces its star players. Two American-made Gibson Custombucker humbucking pickups with Alnico 3 magnets load into position for summoning authentic Gibson humbucking warmth and breath for matching with any player's sensibilities. Hand-wired to CTS potentiometers and Luxe Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors, these pickups offer great versatility and expression as they invite players to mix through their spectrum of voices.

Hardware makes this guitar even more dreamy. Onboard, a GraphTech nut and Epiphone Deluxe Double Ring tuning machines with keystone buttons meet past the Gibson-style "open book" headstock. At the scale's opposite end, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge matches with a historic-style aluminum tailpiece for grounding strings stably and insuring fluid and responsive playing. An Epiphone brown hardshell case travels with this "Inspired by Gibson Custom" model.

As a throwback to one of Gibson's classic '60s guitars, this Epiphone "Inspired by Gibson Custom" model is an honest and authentic representation of Gibson's classic Les Paul Standard fitted for the players of today.
