Les is more with a Bigsby

The Les Paul™ Standard returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played, and loved – shaping sound across generations and genres of music. It pays tribute to the first Gibson Golden Era of innovation and brings authenticity back to life. The Gibson Les Paul Standard is one of the world’s most beloved electric guitar designs, and the Les Paul Standard 60s delivers the classic features found on Les Paul models from the very early 1960s and is now available with a Bigsby® vibrato.

The Les Paul Standard 60s with Bigsby has a non-weight-relieved solid mahogany body with an AA figured maple top that adds a bit of extra sustain and bite to the warmth and midrange punch of the mahogany. The mahogany neck has a fast-playing SlimTaper™ profile for hours and hours of comfortable play, while the bound Indian rosewood fretboard is outfitted with 22 medium jumbo frets and is adorned with acrylic trapezoid inlays. The 12” fretboard radius makes it equally comfortable when you’re playing first-position chords or bending the strings further up the neck, and despite the low action, there’s no risk of string bends choking out.

The Les Paul Standard 60s with Bigsby is equipped with a classic ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, a Bigsby B7 vibrato, and precision Grover® Rotomatic® tuning machines with kidney buttons, which, in partnership with the Graph Tech® nut, ensure the tuning stays nice and solid, even when adding expressive pitch modulation to notes and chords using the Bigsby B7 vibrato tailpiece. 

The two Burstbucker™ pickups, a Burstbucker 61R in the neck position and a Burstbucker 61T in the bridge, are loaded with Alnico 5 magnets and hand-wired to individual volume and tone controls that feature audio taper potentiometers. The tone controls use Orange Drop® capacitors. The 3-way pickup selector toggle switch lets you use either pickup individually or combine them, and the individual controls allow you to blend the pickups in any ratio you prefer. The controls are topped with gold Top Hat knobs with silver reflectors, just like the classic early 60s Les Paul Standard models. A hardshell case is also included to keep this iconic guitar safe when in storage or when traveling.
