The Gibson Les Paul Standard ’60s, now available in the electrifying Cardinal Red finish, brings its own unique flavor to the table. This Les Paul model embodies the spirit of later-model vintage Les Pauls, known for evolving to a thinner neck profile and hotter pickups.
The Cardinal Red finish, inspired by the 1960s Chevrolet color catalog, infuses this Les Paul Standard ’60s with a bold and eye-catching personality. This captivating color choice is further enhanced by the guitar’s elegant aesthetics, including gold “top hat” style knobs with silver reflectors, cream plastics, and nickel pickup covers.
Perhaps the most notable feature of the Les Paul Standard ‘60s model is its SlimTaper neck profile, which offers a slimmer and faster feel for those who prefer swift and nimble playing. Grover Rotomatic closed gear tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability, allowing you to stay in tune no matter how aggressively you play.
In terms of pickups, the Les Paul Standard ’60s is equipped with Gibson 60s Burstbucker pickups. These pickups are wound around Alnico V magnets, which deliver hotter tonal character with more attack and midrange, making this guitar an excellent choice for players seeking a more pronounced and dynamic tonal response.
Of course, the enduring hallmark of the Les Paul, regardless of the era it represents, is its immediate sense of solidity and craftsmanship. The Les Paul Standard ’60s is no exception, with its foundation rooted in a non-weight relieved Mahogany body, crowned by a single-ply bound plain Maple top. Also featured on the Les Paul Standard ‘60s is a classic Indian Rosewood fingerboard with 22 standard frets, adorned with classic Acrylic Trapezoid inlays.
The Les Paul Standard ’60s in Cardinal Red pays tribute to the enduring charm of the electric guitar. It proudly offers players a versatile and expressive instrument that’s ready to make its mark in any musical genre. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a budding artist, this guitar offers a classic yet contemporary playing experience that’s sure to inspire.
