Vintage-inspired design with premium appointments
The Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a faithful tribute to a golden era of guitar craftsmanship, capturing the look and feel of one of the most sought-after vintage instruments ever made. Crafted in partnership with Gibson Custom, it features era-correct styling, including a carved maple top with an eye-catching AAA flamed maple veneer and a classic single-ply cream binding that runs along the top and fretboard. The body shape mirrors the timeless Les Paul silhouette, and the Vintage Gloss finish brings a subtly aged aesthetic that gives the guitar a worn-in, well-loved appearance without artificial relicing. Every visual detail, from the historically accurate side dot markers to the aged Epiphone headstock logo and "Les Paul Model" gold silkscreen, has been designed to echo the revered 1960 original.
SlimTaper neck profile for faster playability
One of the standout features of the 1960 Les Paul Standard was its neck profile, and Epiphone has faithfully recreated this detail in the Reissue. The 60s SlimTaper™ neck profile provides a fast, modern feel while retaining a vintage vibe, making it ideal if you prefer a sleek, comfortable grip. Unlike the chunkier necks of earlier Les Paul models, the SlimTaper design offers increased speed and agility, especially when navigating solos or intricate chord work. The neck is carved from a single piece of mahogany and includes a long neck tenon, enhancing the structural integrity and contributing to better sustain. Topped with a bound rosewood fretboard and 22 medium jumbo frets, this neck delivers a smooth, responsive feel during both rhythm and lead parts.
USA-made Gibson Custombuckers for iconic tone
What sets this Les Paul Reissue apart in terms of tone is its loaded set of USA Gibson Custombucker humbuckers. These pickups deliver authentic PAF-style tones with clarity, warmth, and plenty of dynamic expression. Using Alnico 3 magnets, they offer a slightly lower output than modern humbuckers, allowing for more touch sensitivity and a wider tonal range. From glassy cleans to thick, singing leads, these pickups respond beautifully to pick attack and volume knob adjustments. They're wired using premium components, including CTS potentiometers and Luxe Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors, which further enhance the vintage tone and dynamic response. A Switchcraft pickup selector and output jack ensure rock-solid reliability on stage and in the studio.
High-quality hardware and deluxe case included
To round out the package, the Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue includes a selection of premium hardware features designed for both function and style. A vintage-style ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge works in tandem with a lightweight aluminium tailpiece, providing solid intonation and classic Les Paul sustain. Nickel-plated Epiphone Deluxe tuners with Double Ring Keystone buttons complete the headstock with period-correct charm and smooth tuning stability. Every component has been chosen to reflect the original model's specifications. This beauty comes with a brown hard-shell case with pink plush interior lining and Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics.
