Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s IT 5-stars Reviews

Awesome

Awesome guitar, expected from Gibson in this price range

The guitar!

I have watched countless musicians throughout the years play one of these and I’ve wanted one since before I could play. My first guitar was an epiphone les Paul. Finally 25 years later I got my hands on the real deal. It plays superbly. It’s tonally more versatile that you would think. I actually use the tone and volume controls on this guitar. It’s heavy but satisfyingly so. Holds its tuning very well and it looks superb. Would I have liked locking tuners? Most likely. I really hate restringing but this is the guitar, and she’s mine.

Simply beautiful!

What a beauty. The sound and the looks are amazing. Gibson did a great job and managed to exceed my expectations!

After months of browsing the internet, watching YouTube movies and playing a Gibson LP custom that I borowed from my neighbor, I decided to go for this guitar standard 60s in the Iced Tea finish.

I ordered the guitar in July knowing that it would take some time before I would get it and the wait has most definitely paid off though I got bit anxious hearing stories from people about bad finishes and imperfections up to the point where some people are advising against buying a Gibson... Nothing of the sorts for my guitar. It's got an assembly date of 1 Sep 2021 and the only negative thing is that fretboard has a little bit of glue residue here and there and that it's completely dry. Nothing that a good clean and conditioning can't handle while replacing the strings. Finish and paint are excellent there's not even a ding under the scratch plate! Action out of the box is great, exactly to Gibson's specifications, I may lower it a little, but it plays very smooth and fast and damn the sound is hot, even hotter than my neighbor's custom. One of the reasons why I picked the standard 60s over the standard 50s.

Overall I'm very happy with my new guitar and I plan to enjoy it for the rest of my life!

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!)

Amazing guitar!

Due to high demand, the guitar came late, but it was worth the wait. The guitar is great. It was necessary to oil the neck and clean it a bit, everything else was more than perfect. The sound of the guitar is amazing, as is the feel when playing. I highly recommend the guitar.

Les Paul is back!

This guitar is just amazing! It feels very good to play and the sound is amazing!!! Les Paul Standard as it should be, no extra frills. It is a bit on the heavy side but that gives back in sound and sustain. I highly recommend this Les Paul. Feels more like an instrument than just a tool.

holy cow!

As some would put it:

Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.

There is little to say about this guitar, it just sounds frigging uber!

If you want a daily 'come to jesus' moment with your guitar, buy one of these and plug into a valve-amp. You will never go back.

For those looking at this guitar as a 'financial challenge', don't turn away. There is a reason you started looking at this guitar. The word 'pedigree' doesn't even start to cover it....

After buying a genuine LP, you'll realise the tonal quality, playing comfort, and amazing versatility is what makes this guitar a legendary instrument.

This thicker 60s neck is super comfortable, good for bigger-handed-folks who sometimes struggle with thin necks. Build quality is top-spec, and the included tools and documentation are bob-on.

Looking forward to getting it down the guitar-shop for a full setup, but out-of-the-box, it sounds great and is 99% there in terms of readiness and tonal accuracy up the neck.

Get it!

Simply perfect

I intended to think that with Gibson we pay for the Brand. The 2019 model

60s has a very comfortable neck, the pickups are creamy as expected, no weight relief and looks simply amazing. I dont know if was lucky but the setup is perfectly done. The strings action is very low without any buzzing at all which makes very easy to play.

Since i got this guitar is being difficult to play the other ones. I totally recomend ! Long live rock n roll
