1960 Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty – Factory Bigsby – 3 Original PAFs

Bay Area Vintage Guitars is proud to offer this outstanding 1960 Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty, featuring a factory Bigsby vibrato and three original PAF humbuckers.

This guitar carries a very early 1960 serial number (0 0707), resulting in a neck profile that feels much closer to a late-1959 carve—substantial, comfortable, and extremely playable. The original “Fretless Wonder” frets remain intact, providing the smooth, fast feel these Customs are famous for.

Condition is every good, vintage, with honest, light playwear throughout. The only changes are replaced POTs, with the originals with wiring harness included in the case. All other key components remain original.

A Note About Instrument Setup 

Guitars and basses are sensitive to changes in temperature, humidity, and movement during shipping. An instrument that is properly set up when it leaves us may arrive with slight changes to the action, neck relief, tuning, or intonation.

These changes are normal as wood adjusts to a new environment. We recommend allowing the instrument to acclimate after delivery before making any adjustments.

Because setup preferences vary by player, minor adjustments or a personal setup may be desired after arrival. If needed, we recommend having the instrument set up by a qualified local guitar technician. Any post-delivery setup or adjustment costs are the responsibility of the buyer.
