Although it vanished from the Gibson catalog after 1960, the classic
single-cutaway Les Paul Standard came roaring back in the late '60s to
establish itself as the most powerful electric guitar in rock. Eric
Clapton has long raved about the slim, fast 1960-profile neck on his
stolen "Beano" 'Burst, and everyone from Mike Bloomfield to Jimmy Page
to Jeff Beck also picked up a Les Paul Standard to lay down rock
foundations that have never been shaken. Along with enjoying the
unparalleled playability of the instrument, these players often removed
the covers on their PAF humbucking pickups to eek out a slightly sharper
high-end response—and when they did so, they were hoping to discover
the ultimate badge of cool in a 1958-'60 Burst: the zebra-coil pickup.
To celebrate the age when the Les Paul first took the throne as the king
of rock, Gibson USA introduces the Les Paul Traditional 1960 Zebra,
exclusive to Sam Ash. With all of the classic appointments of the most
desirable 1960 Standards, it takes you straight to the heart of the
golden age of rock.
Great tonewoods are always the first step in crafting a great Gibson,
and the Les Paul Traditional 1960 Zebra from Sam Ash is no exception. A
carved Grade-A maple top is glued to a weight-relieved Grade-A mahogany
body, and treated to a genuine nitrocellulose lacquer finish in your
choice of grain-textured satin Honeyburst or satin Goldtop, or
high-gloss Trans Red. A one-piece, quarter-sawn, Grade-A mahogany neck
is carved to an authentic '60-style profile with depths of .800" at the
1st fret and .875" at the 12th, and capped with a Grade-A rosewood
fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets and Gibson's beloved 12" radius
for easy, choke-free bending. Topped off with a 17-degree back-angled
headstock for optimum pressure in the slots of the guitar's PLEK-cut
Corian® nut—key components of the Les Paul's superior resonance and
sustain—it all adds up to a singing, toneful instrument even before you
plug it in.
But plug it in you will, and when you do, the Les Paul Traditional 1960
Zebra roars to life with all the depth, richness and clarity of a great
PAF-loaded Burst. A '57 Classic in the neck position with exposed
zebra-coil bobbins offers sweet, warm vocal tones, and a slightly hotter
'57 Classic Plus in the bridge—also a zebra-coils—gives you gutsy
crunch and soaring lead tones. These acclaimed humbuckers are made with
genuine Alnico V magnets and wound with 42 AWG wire, just like the
legendary PAFs of the early '60s, and offer a blend of depth and clarity
that few pickups can match today. Tonal solidity and sustain are
further ensured by a Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, while a
set of vintage-look pearloid Tone Pros keystone tuners with pearloid
buttons take the traditional look right over the top. Further classic
appointments include acrylic trapezoid fingerboard inlays, vintage cream
neck and body binding and pickguard, a mother-of-pearl Gibson headstock
logo and silkscreened gold "Les Paul Model," and gold speed knobs.
