The Gibson Custom Shop PSL 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue V3 VOS in Tangerine Burst captures the character of an iconic era through meticulous vintage-inspired construction and a beautifully aged presentation. Its Les Paul single-cut body features a one-piece lightweight mahogany back with no weight relief and a two-piece figured maple top fitted with hide glue. Finished in nitrocellulose lacquer with a VOS vintage patina, the Tangerine Burst finish brings depth and warmth to the figured maple while preserving the understated elegance of a classic Les Paul. A single-ply Royalite binding frames the body, while the guitar weighs 8 lbs 2 oz, offering a substantial yet comfortable presence.

The solid mahogany neck features the V3 1960 Slim Taper C profile, measuring .80" at the first fret and .875" at the 12th fret, paired with a 24.75" scale length and 1.69" nut width. Its Indian rosewood fingerboard has a 12" radius, 22 authentic medium-jumbo frets, and aged cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays, providing a smooth and familiar playing surface. The neck joins the body with a long-tenon, hide glue fit, while an authentic 1950s no-tube truss rod and nylon nut further reinforce the period-correct approach. Kluson Single Line, Double Ring tuners with nickel plating complete the traditional headstock aesthetic.

Underneath the vintage-inspired exterior, the guitar delivers a carefully voiced pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups, with one positioned at the bridge and another at the neck. CTS 500K audio taper potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors provide the classic control response, while a Switchcraft three-way selector and output jack offer dependable performance. The No-Wire ABR-1 bridge, lightweight aluminum stop bar, nickel-plated brass saddles, and authentic-profile nickel-silver pickup covers maintain the look and feel of a historic Les Paul. Gold Top Hat control knobs with silver reflector inserts, an amber Catalin switch tip, black Royalite control covers, and vintage-style cellulose acetate butyrate components complete the detailed period presentation.

Every finishing touch has been chosen to evoke the spirit of a treasured 1960 Les Paul, from the laminated cellulose acetate butyrate pickguard and M69 pickup rings to the silkscreened switchwasher, stepped two-ply truss rod cover, aluminum strap buttons, and nickel-finished hardware. The guitar comes equipped with .010 to .046 gauge strings and includes a brown and pink Lifton reissue five-latch case, Gibson Custom switchplate medallion with a historic black plastic cover in the case, Certificate of Authenticity booklet, and historic reissue hang tags. Identified by serial number LPR60V3PSL00000618, this PSL V3 brings together lightweight mahogany, figured maple, a Slim Taper 1960 neck, Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups, and carefully recreated vintage appointments into a beautifully detailed Les Paul built to feel as timeless as it looks.
