2020 GIBSON CUSTOM SHOP 1960 re-issue LES PAUL V2 (1960 reissue) Tomato Burst 001516
A nice Flame Top New Old Stock 60th Anniversary Les Paul 1960 V2 Tomato Soup Burst re-issue. Serial#001516. 8.95 Lbs. Slight aging VOS on the hardware. A stunning beauty with all the case candy and even the original box. Just opened for pictures, and NEVER PLAYED! Never hung in the shop, so no wear from grubby little hands or even us! We have been a Gibson Dealer since 1965 and we never get tired of seeing these bursts.
From the Gibson web site: This limited-edition 60th Anniversary model celebrates the iconic 1960 Les Paul Standard, which has shaped music across genres for six decades. The artisans at Gibson Custom Shop have proudly recreated the experience of owning a priceless original thanks to painstaking attention to detail and tireless study of vintage examples, closely following the three distinct versions seen within 1960. Those made in the first third of the year (V1) had the same specs as 1959 models, while the middle third (V2) had thinner neck profiles, different knobs and brighter colors. The final third (V3) featured even thinner neck profiles. Each version is available within this historic limited run of instruments, inspiring players in different ways. Included is a 60th Anniversary switch plate, a commemorative Certificate of Authenticity booklet and a vintage replica hardshell case.
