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.

Gibson released their 50th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard. It is available in 3 different versions. Version 1 has a full round neck profile and is available in Heritage Cherry Sunburst and Heritage Dark Sunburst. Version 2 has a slim style neck profile and will be available in 2 faded burst colors Light Iced Tea and Sunset Tea Burst. Version 3 will be made available in a more colorfast Cherry Sunburst. There will only be 500 of these instruments made and they will be partnered with a Custom Shop case and of course a Certificate of Authenticity. The $8500.00 price tag suggests this guitar is not for the faint of heart, nor for the common workingman, but for the collector. However, some may be interested in trading their car or spouse for this guitar ;-)
