1960 was the last year for the original Les Paul Standard, a model that was nearly identical to the 1959 version except for a few details. The Custom Shop Les Paul Standard Reissue is an exact replica of the classic 1960 Les Paul Standard, down to the speedy slim neck profile, "reflector" Volume and Tone knobs and wider "double-ring" tuner tips. Each one is built with extreme care, reverence and attention to detail by expert craftspeople committed to providing an authentic vintage experience. The 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue has been very lightly aged with the Murphy Lab aging process for unique character and added vintage appeal.
