Golden era 60s Les Paul feel with modern reliability
If you have been chasing that classic 60s Les Paul punch, this one hits the bullseye. Solid mahogany, no weight relief, AA figured maple top, and a fast SlimTaper neck all come together for sustain that blooms, chords that roar, and lead lines that just sing.
Classic 60s Les Paul build with no weight relief
This is the recipe that made the Les Paul a legend. A solid mahogany body with no weight relief gives you that thick midrange punch, piano like lows, and endless sustain that feels like the notes just keep growing. At 9.2 pounds (9 lb 3 oz), it has enough mass to sound huge without feeling like a boat anchor when you are two hours into a set.
The Iced Tea gloss nitrocellulose finish lets the wood resonate in a way thick poly never will. Nitro gets out of the way so you feel more acoustic liveliness in your hands, more air around the notes, and a guitar that will only open up more the longer you play it.
AA figured maple top that cuts through the mix
The AA figured maple top is not just eye candy. Maple adds snap and clarity on top of the mahogany warmth, so your chords stay defined and your single notes cut without getting harsh. Under stage lights that Iced Tea burst shifts and moves, and it looks every bit as good as it sounds.
Real talk: this is the look most players think of when they hear “Les Paul Standard 60s.” You are getting that classic vibe without having to baby a vintage original.
SlimTaper neck you can play all night
The mahogany SlimTaper neck is fast without feeling skinny or flimsy. It fills your hand just enough so you can dig in for big bends and vibrato, but it stays out of the way when you want to rip up the neck. It is a very easy transition if you are coming from modern guitars or superstrats.
The bound rosewood fingerboard, 12 inch radius, and 22 medium jumbo frets make bends feel buttery and smooth. Low action stays clean even with wide bends up high, so you get singing sustain without notes choking out. Acrylic trapezoid inlays keep the look pure early 60s.
60s Burstbuckers with bite, bloom, and clarity
The 60s Burstbucker humbuckers are loaded with Alnico 5 magnets for that sweet spot of output and articulation. The bridge pickup has the classic Les Paul growl and grit that pushes your amp into the perfect rock crunch, while the neck pickup stays warm, round, and glassy instead of turning to mud.
Hand wired controls with Orange Drop capacitors keep the response smooth and musical. Roll the volumes back and the guitar cleans up without going dull, or use the individual controls to blend both pickups into a chewy, harmonically rich middle position that records like a dream.
Pro hardware and rock solid tuning stability
The ABR 1 Tune O Matic bridge and aluminum stop bar tailpiece give you rock solid intonation and that familiar Les Paul feel under your picking hand. Nickel Grover Rotomatic tuners with kidney buttons lock in your tuning and make string changes quick and painless.
A Graph Tech nut keeps the strings gliding smoothly, so bends and big chords come back in tune every time. Cream pickguard, amber switch tip, and gold Top Hat knobs with silver reflectors nail the early 60s aesthetic.
