Gibson Les Paul Custom with Bigsby 1960, Ebony

From 1960, this Gibson Black Beauty is in exceptional condition. It boasts its original PAF gold-plated pickups with very limited repairs, although the bridge pickup seems to have been rewound at some point. The Ebony finish remains in great condition, with only minor touch-ups. Additionally, the guitar has undergone a refret, making it a player's dream! The Les Paul Custom is renowned as one of the most iconic guitars ever introduced to the market, and its three-pickup configuration is a rockers' dream come true. Featuring not just one, but three PAF pickups, this Black Beauty offers the classic out-of-phase middle position, providing a unique tonal palette for both the stage and studio.

We are always excited to have special instruments. The factory Bigsby is incredible and even furthers the tonal and playing range of the guitar. All gold hardware distinguishes this guitar and the wear through to the base nickel pickup covers shows that this is a players guitar and adds to the mojo. Guitars always present us with a story, and a rare instrument like this one tells an incredible tale of Gibson at the height of their Les Paul craftsmanship along with the many decades since. Countless players and collectors have enjoyed this guitar and it is without a doubt the center of many conversations. It is impressive to say the least and it is an honor to have it in the shop.
