Overview of the Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue Washed Cherry SB

The 1960 Gibson Les Paul™ Standard ranks among the world’s most sought-after vintage guitars. Renowned musicians like Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, and Joe Walsh have embraced its charm. While the 1960 model closely resembles the famous 1959 version, it features a few notable enhancements, including the thinner and faster SlimTaper™ neck profile that many players prefer due to its superior playability.

The Epiphone Inspired By Gibson Collection

The Epiphone Inspired By Gibson Custom Collection 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue (ECLPR0WCNH1) beautifully recreates the vintage 1960 Les Paul Standard models. This guitar, crafted in partnership with Gibson Custom, offers classic Les Paul aesthetics and performance at a more accessible price.

Classic Appointments

This reissue includes all the beloved appointments of the original 1960 Les Paul Standard. Players will appreciate the one-piece mahogany neck featuring a long neck tenon that enhances stability and sustain. The fast-playing SlimTaper™ neck profile pairs perfectly with a bound rosewood fretboard. You’ll also find mother-of-pearl trapezoid fretboard inlays, an aged mother-of-pearl Epiphone headstock logo, and “Les Paul Model” silkscreened in gold on the Gibson-style “open book” headstock. Furthermore, the side dot position markers accurately reflect the size and location used in vintage 1960 models.

Stunning Body Design

The guitar boasts a genuine mahogany body with a carved maple cap, topped with beautiful AAA flamed maple veneer. This combination not only enhances its visual appeal but also contributes to its rich tone.

Impressive Electronics

Equipped with two USA Gibson Custombucker humbucking pickups with Alnico 3 magnets, the electronics provide high-quality sound. These pickups connect through hand-wired CTS® potentiometers and Black Beauty paper-in-oil capacitors to a Switchcraft® pickup selector toggle switch and output jack. The Vintage Gloss finish lends the guitar an elegant vintage look without appearing overly aged, which complements the nickel hardware, including the Epiphone Deluxe “Double Ring” Keystone button tuners.

Included Accessories

A brown hardshell case featuring Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics, with a pink plush-lined interior, comes with the guitar. This 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue is perfect for players who appreciate the vintage allure of the classic 1959 model but desire a more comfortable neck profile.
