As a renowned manufacturer of high-quality hollow-body guitars, Gibson's decision to produce a solid-body guitar in 1952 broke with its established philosophy and ultimately paved the way for rock and roll. It was likely "Franny" Beecher, Bill Haley's lead guitarist, who played a Gibson Les Paul Custom and created a previously unheard sound, thus ushering in a new musical genre. The Gibson Gold-Top, later called the Standard, evolved from 1952 onwards with various string mounting options and, from 1956, was available in a version with a stop tailpiece and Tune-o-Matic ABR1 bridge.
After 1958, Gibson moved away from the chunky neck profile. 1959 can be considered a transitional year in this respect; by 1960, very slim necks were being produced.
The 1960 Reissue shown here accurately replicates the guitars from around the mid-1960s. It is reproduced with meticulous attention to detail and, following Tom Murphy's specifications, is modeled after a well-maintained original. There is no exaggerated aging or extensive wear – just like many original Les Pauls that have been played and whose nitrocellulose finish has aged subtly, but which are otherwise in excellent condition.
02414 was manufactured in 2022 at Gibson's Custom Shop, comes well-maintained from it's first owner and is subject to differential taxation.
