Gibson Guitar Reviews

The Gibson Les Paul Standard 60’s Neck Electric is my main Gibson.  Let me tell you why. 

First, compared to other Gibson’s I own which feature the traditional neck size, the 1960s “slim” style allows for just enough reduction of neck width to create a more comfortable and easier to play electric guitar.  Most music store workers will tell you the top selling gibson’s feature 60s necks for just this reason- they appeal to the rock player. 

Jazz and blues players may like the traditional thicker neck which to me does have a tiny bit more deep thick tone than these guitars.  However, this is tough to tell based on the fact that all Gibson’s are highly tonal and can me adjusted in dramatic ways. 

First, this guitar has a full carved maple top, rosewood fretboard with beautiful inlays which are now famous.  Unlike some of the Vintage Les Paul’s recently released, the Standard 60s Neck has full body binding, which is a personal favorite of mine.  Binding has absolutely no effect on the guitar but in my experience the resale value of binded Les Paul’s may be higher.  As for pickups, the BurstBucker Pros are fantastic and may be the best sounding pickups I have ever heard.  This guitar is already and instant classic.  You will finally find that the gloss and finish of this guitar makes it a piece of art in my opinion.  Unlike a piece of regular art, this Gibson is meant to be played and will last hundreds of years of playing.
