Epiphone brings you the 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue, an Inspired by Gibson Custom model that beautifully recreates the tone, style, and features of the original 1960 Les Paul, but at a more accessible price point.
Crafted with a mahogany body and a carved maple cap topped with AAA flamed maple veneer, this guitar delivers vintage aesthetics and rich tone. The one-piece mahogany neck features a long neck tenon for enhanced sustain and stability, along with the sought-after SlimTaper™ 60s profile. A bound rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays, vintage-sized side dots, and an aged mother-of-pearl Epiphone headstock logo complete the classic look.
Electronics include a pair of USA Gibson Custombucker pickups with Alnico 3 magnets, hand-wired to CTS® pots, Luxe Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors, and Switchcraft® components. Finished in Vintage Gloss, it’s subtly aged and complemented with nickel hardware, including Epiphone Deluxe Double Ring Keystone tuners.
The guitar comes housed in a brown hard case with pink plush lining and Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics. This guitar is in the Iced Tea Burst Finish.

I have made only 1 change to tis guitar. I replaced the standard Epiphone original strap buttons wit Jim Dunlop strap buttons which are heavier, large and hold a strap better than the originals.
This guitar is an exceptionally well built model and plays like a Gibson. The only reason I am selling it is because I have a Gibson Les Paul Standard and although I love this Epiphone I am selling it because with the Gibson I already have, it is too much of the same thing.
This guitar new sells for $1299 pus tax. Mine, in excellent condition is listed at $950, almost $350 les than a new one. No shipping, cash only, pickup at my house in Palm Beach Gardens.
