Les Paul Standard 60s IT : Gibson Back On Song

I bought another Gibson guitar which was produced just prior to the management changes in 2019 and if I’m honest the quality of set up was awful, high action tuning issues, sharp frets etc, I was tempted to return it, but a local guitar tech put it right!

No such problems with this purchase, the quality of fit and finish is fantastic and the guitar just looks, plays & sounds first rate! The colour and flame top is stunning! The 60’s neck is slim taper but it’s still pretty substantial, more so than other 60 spec Gibsons I have but that said it feels great. There is a feeling of quality about the controls and they work as they should and are smooth & well calibrated.

Pros

How it looks, plays & sounds

Build Quality

Premium feel

The set up out of the box

Even the case is an upgrade

Price, this guitar isn’t cheap but looks and feels much more expensive, great value!

Cons

None really, but the fretboard needed some oil immediately (2 minute job)

It’s pretty heavy ( this may be a problem for some!)
