Classic ’60s Les Paul Style — Modified with a Mahogany Top

Since 1952, the Les Paul’s maple-topped-mahogany formula has stood as arguably Gibson’s defining tone, but what if the maple top was swapped out for an all-mahogany formula? That’s precisely the question that Gibson’s Les Paul Standard ’60s Mahogany Top answers. This guitar blends the elegance of the iconic Les Paul Standard with the utilitarian, TV Yellow flair of Gibson’s Junior and Special models, boasting ’60s Burstbucker pickups, striking black body and fingerboard binding, and a slightly warmer attack than a maple-topped Les Paul. The Les Paul Standard ’60s Mahogany Top’s set mahogany neck wields Gibson’s time-tested SlimTaper profile, and its Plek’d 12-inch-radius Indian rosewood fingerboard offers playability that’s second to none. A Graph Tech nut, an ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge, an aluminum stopbar tailpiece, and Grover Rotomatic tuners with kidney buttons round out this Les Paul Standard’s hardware. You also get acrylic trapezoid fingerboard inlays, a mother-of-pearl headstock logo, and a spotlight-stealing nitrocellulose lacquer finish. If you’ve been hunting for a ’60s-style Les Paul Standard that stands apart from the crowd, you’ve found it in the Les Paul Standard ’60s Mahogany Top.

An all-mahogany masterwork

In place of the time-tested maple top that Gibson first launched the Les Paul with in 1952, this Les Paul Standard ’60s Mahogany Top brandishes a mahogany top to match its mahogany body. Frankly, it’s a classic Gibson design in its own right, harkening back to the ultra-premium, all-mahogany Les Paul Custom models of the 1950s. What about the tone? Many players argue this change results in a slightly warmer, rounder response than maple-topped Les Paul models. Plus, we can’t help but be blown away by this guitar’s Les Paul Junior/Special–inspired TV Yellow finish and stark black binding!

Vintage PAF tone

When it comes to bottling vintage PAF (Patent Applied For) humbucker tone, nothing beats the sound of this Les Paul Standard’s ’60s Burstbucker pickups. These magnets — along with period-correct unmatched windings on the bobbins — capture the subtle historical variations in true humbucker tone. Plug into your favorite amp and experience smooth low-end response, complex midrange crunch, and sweet-sounding highs. These pickups sound great clean, or they can be used to push your amp into overdrive for the legendary fat, snarling tone you can only get with a humbucker. Under the hood, the control assembly is handwired with audio-taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors, ensuring you’ll hear the mellifluous voice of the Les Paul Standard ’60s Mahogany Top in all its glory, even when you back down your volume.

SlimTaper neck and Plek’d frets

Comfort and playability were Gibson’s primary concerns when designing the Les Paul Standard ’60s Mahogany Top. You’ll be delighted by how this guitar’s SlimTaper neck profile comfortably fits your hand just the right way. For your playing pleasure, the rosewood fingerboard is buffed to silky smoothness and bound with rolled edges so that no fret ends impede your dexterity. The frets are dressed to perfection using a Plek Pro machine for optimized playability. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you’ll likely own.
