60s Les Paul Punch In A Pelham Blue Plain Top
This Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s Plain Top is what a modern classic looks and feels like. All the swagger, bite, and sustain of a golden era Les Paul, wrapped in a slick Pelham Blue finish that turns heads before you even plug in.
Under the hood it is all business: solid mahogany body, plain maple top, no weight relief, and a 60s SlimTaper neck that feels fast without getting skinny or cramped. At 9.1 pounds, it has that authoritative Les Paul heft so notes bloom, sustain, and stay tight when you pour on the gain.
Solid Mahogany Power, Plain Maple Clarity
The core of this guitar is pure Les Paul DNA. A solid mahogany body with no weight relief gives you thick low mids and piano-like sustain that you feel in your chest as much as you hear in your ears. The plain maple top adds cut and definition so chords stay clear and solos never get muddy.
The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish lets the wood breathe and age gracefully instead of choking the tone under thick plastic. Pelham Blue on a bound Les Paul just hits different: classy, a little rebellious, and impossible to mistake on a dimly lit stage.
60s SlimTaper Neck: Fast, Comfortable, Confident
The 60s SlimTaper neck profile is the sweet spot if you want speed without going to a super thin shredder carve. It fills your hand just enough for vibrato control, but stays slim and sleek up the neck so fast runs and big stretches feel easy.
A 12 inch Indian rosewood fingerboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, and acrylic trapezoid inlays give you that familiar Gibson feel. Bends are smooth, vibrato feels controlled, and you can get the action low without fretting out. The GraphTech nut keeps tuning solid even when you dig in hard.
60s Burstbuckers With Orange Drop Attitude
Gibson’s 60s Burstbuckers with Alnico 5 magnets bring the growl. The bridge pickup has tight lows, focused mids, and enough top end to cut through a mix without getting harsh. The neck pickup is warm and syrupy, perfect for singing leads and soulful chord work.
They are wired up old school: hand wired harness, audio taper pots, and Orange Drop capacitors. That means a wide, usable sweep on your volume and tone controls. Roll things back for glassy cleans and edge-of-breakup grit, or dime it all for full on classic rock roar.
