Gibson Custom Colour Series Les Paul Standard 60s, Sparkling Burgundy

Full Description

Custom colour with vintage flair

The Gibson Custom Colour Series Les Paul Standard 60s is a striking blend of tradition and individuality. Its Sparkling Burgundy finish sets it apart from standard Les Paul models, adding a fresh, bold aesthetic while preserving the classic Les Paul silhouette. This vivid gloss nitrocellulose lacquer not only looks incredible under stage lights, but also allows the tonewoods to breathe and age gracefully over time, just like vintage instruments. The finish is part of a new lineup of custom colours that bring an attention-grabbing twist to one of Gibson’s most beloved designs. This is a guitar built to turn heads and make a statement without compromising authenticity or heritage.

Classic tonewood construction with no weight relief

At the heart of this guitar’s powerful voice is its all-solid tonewood construction. A solid mahogany body, free from any weight relief, pairs with a plain maple top to produce the warm, full-bodied resonance that Les Pauls are famous for. This combination ensures you get the thick, rich sustain and midrange punch that defined countless classic records. The lack of weight relief gives it the density and heft of a true vintage-style instrument, appealing to those who want that unmistakable feel and response. Every note feels connected to the body, offering a more organic playing experience that enhances both dynamics and articulation. It's an uncompromising choice for guitarists who demand authenticity and tonal depth.

SlimTaper neck and premium playing feel

Playability is just as important as tone, and the Les Paul Standard 60s delivers with its SlimTaper mahogany neck. Sculpted for speed and comfort, this neck profile is ideal for lead work, fast runs, and extended sessions without fatigue. Paired with an Indian rosewood fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, the overall feel is smooth, responsive, and perfectly suited for expressive playing. The 12” radius allows easy string bending and fluid chord transitions, while the trapezoid inlays retain the signature Les Paul look. Thanks to the set-neck construction, sustain and upper-fret access are greatly enhanced, making it a versatile option for rhythm and lead players alike who want stability and finesse in one instrument.

Vintage-voiced electronics with modern precision

Equipped with a pair of 60s Burstbucker humbuckers, this guitar delivers a versatile palette of tones that range from warm and articulate to aggressive and punchy. These pickups are loaded with Alnico 5 magnets, chosen for their ability to capture dynamic playing with clarity and bite. Hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors, the controls respond smoothly to every tweak, giving you access to rich tonal shaping with vintage character. The traditional 2-volume, 2-tone layout and three-way toggle switch offer tried-and-true flexibility, letting you move effortlessly between singing leads and throaty blues crunch. This is a guitar that responds to your every nuance with rich, expressive voice and tonal control that inspires confidence.
