Gibson has done it again with the release of their 50th Anniversary 1960 Black Beauty Les Paul Custom. Features include pair of BurstBucker pickups, CTS pots complete with “bumblebee” tone cap. The tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece are remnants from the original as appointed by Ted McCarty. All in all another fine special edition guitar from Gibson that is out of reach of most guitarists, but even so, you can’t deny the coolness factor.
