Golden era Les Paul punch with fast 60s feel and endless sustain

If you have been chasing that classic Les Paul sound in your head, this is the lane you are in. Non weight relieved mahogany, a killer AA figured maple top, and 60s style hardware and electronics give this Honey Amber Standard all the bite, bloom, and authority you expect from a great Gibson.

This specific guitar is the real deal you see in the photos, right down to the flame and grain. It is built for players who want a lively, resonant Les Paul that feels broken in from the first chord and stays inspiring long after the honeymoon period.

Non weight relieved mahogany punch with AA maple snap

The heart of this Standard 60s is a solid, non weight relieved mahogany body topped with an AA figured maple cap. You feel that extra mass the second you hit a big chord, with a tight low end, muscular mids, and a top end that sings instead of shrieks.

The gloss nitrocellulose finish lets the wood breathe and age the right way instead of sitting under a thick, plastic feeling coat. In Honey Amber, the flame jumps under stage lights and studio lamps, so it looks as big as it sounds.

Fast 60s SlimTaper neck and comfortable 12 inch radius

The mahogany SlimTaper neck is built for players who like to move. It fills your hand enough to feel substantial, but stays sleek and fast for runs, bends, and wide vibrato without fatigue.

A bound Indian rosewood board with a 12 inch radius and 22 medium jumbo frets keeps chords clean and bends buttery all the way up the neck. Acrylic trapezoid inlays and single ply binding nail the early 60s look while the fretwork stays modern and precise with no sharp edges or dead spots.

60s Burstbuckers and hand wired Orange Drop warmth

The 60s Burstbucker pickups, both loaded with Alnico 5 magnets, hit that sweet spot between vintage clarity and modern output. Clean, they stay glassy and articulate with plenty of note separation. Push your amp and they thicken up into rich, vocal overdrive that still lets every string speak.

Hand wired controls with audio taper pots and Orange Drop capacitors give you usable volume and tone sweeps instead of on or off jumps. You can park the toggle in any position, ride the knobs, and carve out everything from crisp edge of breakup to thick, singing lead tones without touching your pedals.

Rock solid hardware that keeps you in tune and on stage

An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum stop bar tailpiece keep the feel classic and the sustain huge. The GraphTech nut and Grover Rotomatic tuners work together for solid tuning stability, even if you lean hard on big bends and aggressive rhythm work.

Cream pickguard, top hat reflector knobs, and nickel hardware tie the whole look together in pure Les Paul fashion. A Gibson hardshell case and accessory kit are in the box, so this one is ready to hit the road or live in the studio from day one.

The Lowdown

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

If you like a neck that feels fast and comfortable without being a skinny toothpick, the SlimTaper 60s profile is a great fit. It has enough shoulder to dig into for rhythm work, but it stays sleek up high so big bends, slides, and vibrato feel effortless. If chunkier vintage style necks wear you out, this profile will feel like home.
Non weight relieved means this Les Paul is a solid slab of mahogany with no chambering or internal weight cuts. In practice, that gives you more mass for longer sustain, stronger low mids, and that classic, authoritative Les Paul thump when you dig in. You feel it on the strap, but you also feel it in every note you play.
The 60s Burstbuckers are built for versatility with a vintage leaning voice. Clean, they stay clear and open with plenty of shimmer on top. Push a tube amp and they deliver chewy, harmonically rich overdrive that sings for lead work and hits hard for rhythm. Between the three switch positions and the four knobs, you can cover everything from smoky blues to punchy hard rock without breaking a sweat.
You are getting the exact Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s Honey Amber you see in the photos, with its specific serial number and weight listed. It ships in its Gibson hardshell case with the accessory kit, a full Player-Perfect setup, and our 3 step inspection process. We check it when it arrives, dial it in again before shipping, and pack it like it is our own gigging guitar.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 72-Hour Love-It Guarantee. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
