Thanks to Eric Clapton's juicy tone and
scorching licks on the "Beano album" with John Mayall and the Blues
Breakers, the Gibson Les Paul made a stunning comeback in the mid and
late '60s. Les Paul aces such as Mike Bloomfield, Jimmy Page, Paul
Kossoff, Jeff Beck and several others followed Clapton's lead, and the
single-cutaway tone monster's place in rock history was assured for all
time. To celebrate the great Les Paul Standards of the model's "comeback
years", Sam Ash presents the Gibson USA Les Paul Traditional 1960, a
guitar with the look, specs, and tone of the instruments that laid the
very foundations of rock. Available in two great hand-sprayed
nitrocellulose finishes—Tea Burst and Ebony Black—it's a guitar that
brings the great Les Paul roaring forward to the 21st century.
The Les Paul Traditional 1960 is crafted with all the classic
ingredients that helped to make this model a legend. A carved maple top
(Grade-A on the translucent Tea Burst models) contributes clarity and
sustain, while a mahogany body adds depth and richness, and is subtly
chambered to enhance resonance and reduce weight. A solid one-piece
mahogany neck is glued in with a traditional mortis & tenon joint,
and carved in the popular SlimTaper™ profile that first helped to make
Les Pauls the fastest players on earth back in 1960. Topped with a
Grade-A rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets, with a 12"
radius for each choke-free bending, the neck culminates in a headstock
with the preferred 17-degree backward pitch for improved string pressure
in the PLEK-cut Corian nut.
To launch all of this tonal goodness into the stratosphere, the Sam Ash
Les Paul Traditional 1960 carries two of Gibson USA's most popular
humbucking pickups, a 57 Classic in the neck position for sweet, warm
vocal tones, and a slightly hotter 57 Classic Plus in the bridge for
gutsy crunch and soaring lead tones. These acclaimed units 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. They are installed uncovered, to
mirror a popular modification of the 1960s believed to enhance high-end
response. A Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece ensure a
solid anchor and optimum sustain, while a set of vintage-look
Kluson-style tuners with pearloid buttons take the traditional look
right over the top. Further classic appointments include acrylic
trapezoid fingerboard inlays, a mother-of-pearl Gibson headstock logo
and silkscreened gold "Les Paul Model," cream binding and pickguard,
featuring a gold-stamped 1960 logo, and gold Top-Hat knobs with silver
pointers. For looks, tone, and feel, the Sam Ash Gibson USA Les Paul
Traditional 1960 brings the '60s five decades forward to today in a
package that any guitarist can make their own. Each guitar comes
protected in a plush-lined hardshell case with black exterior, and
includes owner's manual and adjustment literature,
