I have a number of full-feature Les Pauls, SGs, and other premium MIA guitars, and I have been playing for decades very seriously. The LP Std-60s-Figured-Top really reaches the pinnacle of what a Les Paul is supposed to be. The nitro-gloss finish along with the figured top is just stellar. I got the Translucent Oxblood finish which has since been discontinued since its August, 2023 release. As a huge Jeff Beck-Oxblood fan, it was a must have for me. The nice thing about the current Oxblood is that it looks like a nice black guitar initially. Then with more light the red is visible, and under direct light the heavy figuring and deep red is very prevalent (see pictures) -- all of which I really like. Some of these Standards can be a bit heavy, but you can speak with GC to get one the way you want. At the time I got one of the few last Oxbloods, the remaining "clearance" inventory had been transferred to the stores and GC was very helpful for me to find an Oxblood with a heavy-figured top, no more than 9 lbs (which is normal for Standards but some can be up to 11 lbs), and in proper never-played condition. GC was very helpful, and has been improving their customer service over the last number of years quite notably. The electronics and pickups are quite awesome. The "60s Burstbuckers" (61R/T) are an Alnico-5 version of the Burstbucker 1/2 in the 50s Std (same pickups but uses Alnico-2 magnets. 61R/T are a little hotter because of that which I prefer, but not an overly hot pickup. Those pickups along with the smaller (but definitely NOT small) 60s neck make the 60s Standard the perfect choice for me. The only thing that I will likely change is (1) the tuners to Kluson Revolutions because I prefer them, but the stock Grovers are a classic quality appointment, and (2) uncovering the pickups as a homage to the Jeff Beck Oxblood Les Paul.

Purchased a Les Paul 60s in Cherry and while the pictures online look great, it looks even better in person. This guitar sounds great and feels solid. The case is very nice and when received from Guitar Center, they put the Gibson package in another box for safe shipping.

It was my son's 16th birthday present. He researched guitars, played many different instruments, but decided on the standard gibson. Guitar center did a great job facilitating the purchase.

My only complaint is the frets are a little sharp. Could have used a little more filing.

This guitar sustains so long I can hit a note, go eat a sandwich, come back and it's still ringing. Not only gorgeous but I've went over it with a magnifying glass and a flashlight and I've yet to find anything but a small tooling mark on the bottom of the fretboard. Very impressed with the Burstbucker 61s, I mostly play rock and the bridge pickup snarls! I have a much older 59 standard and it doesn't compare. I highly recommend this model, and if you're a little less traditional the blueberry burst is jaw dropping

I own both the 50's and 60's Les Paul. By far, this is best guitar I've ever played. I prefer the the thicker neck of the 50's but the tapered neck of the 60's is growing on me The pick ups are both hot and smooth. It also has great action and playability.
