The Gibson Les Paul Standard ’60s AAA flame top limited-edition electric guitar takes you back to the "Golden Era" that made the Les Paul an icon. This meticulous recreation captures all the essential vintage tone and feel that allowed the Les Paul to shape the sounds of generations of players across every genre.

Les Paul Standard ’60s AAA Flame Top Limited-Edition Electric Guitar Body

Vintage-Accurate Tonewood Construction

At the core of this ’60s-spec Les Paul is a foundation of tonewoods that helped define the revered PAF era. The mahogany body imparts warmth and richness to every note, while the AAA figured maple top adds bite and clarity. Together, these woods produce the complex, three-dimensional tones that have made the Les Paul a studio staple for decades. The slim, lightweight build feels effortless whether playing seated or standing.

Sculpted ’60s Neck and Fingerboard

Holding true to vintage form, this Les Paul Standard features a SlimTaper ’60s-style mahogany neck carve. The familiar and comfortable profile makes navigating the rosewood fingerboard a breeze, whether you're burning through riffs, or wrapping your hand around chord shapes. The 24.75" scale length and 22 frets give you ample real estate for melodic leads, while trapezoid inlays hark back to the Les Paul's ’60s era.

Meticulously recreated from PAF-era examples, these Alnico V pickups deliver all the warmth, growl and singing sustain that made original ’Bursts legendary. From chimey cleans to snarling overdrive, the Burstbuckers capture every nuance of your playing.

    Overall, very satisfied with this guitar. However, I had to overcome a few "Gibsonisms" before it would play like it should. I have purchased three new Gibsons in less than a year, and they have all had the same issue right out the box. What is this you say, it's nut slot height. One of the most critical adjustments is the height of your strings from the first fret. If this is off, the rest of your setup will be off. On the little warranty card, they all say H1 and L2, which is 1/64th and 2/64's. Well, the low-end strings were closer to 3 and the high end was closer to 2. This is unacceptable for guitars that cost thousands of dollars. Luckily, I am proficient in performing my own set ups, so this is pretty easy to fix if you have the right tools. Neck relief and intonation was off as well, but I think this is actually expected. I have looked at countless pictures of Gibson guitars on various web sites and I actually see the same thing. The bridge saddles are in the same position on every new Gibson that leaves the factory, so I guarantee that no one is actually sitting there checking the intonation. They just get it in the ballpark and that's it. Lastly, I always change my strings anyway on a new guitar, however whomever strung my guitar needs a lesson. Not even 1 full turn on the wound strings, and the plain strings were not locked. Sad. Now that it's setup, it's a great guitar. The flame top is nice, and the build quality is great! I ordered on March 28th, and I received a guitar that just received final inspection on March 12th. That's pretty fresh! 2025 Serial number!

    This guitar is the greatest guitar of any guitar ever. After hundreds of uses, It retains its sound still feels great and always looks good. This guitar gives you the feel of a true rock star and never fails. without a doubt this is the most worthwhile purchase I've ever made. But then again I've never bought one.

  • I would definitely buy again!

    Submitted as part of a sweepstakes

    I wanted a heavy Les Paul and found a hand picked AAA flame top at 10.4 lbs. It sings Forsure. Everything I was looking for. I got a standard and it is everything they are said to be. As a newer player I wanted to learn on one of the best and that's what I got. Now to get me a fender twin amp and I'll have the ultimate set up! #sweepstakes
