Gibson Custom M2M 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue Gloss Electric Guitar Tangerine Burst

Description
The Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue brings a coveted vintage model into the present day. With its Slim Taper neck and P.A.F.-style humbuckers, this Les Paul provides the playability and tone that defined the electric guitar's early rock years. The 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue starts with a one-piece mahogany body and figured maple top, a combination that produces a clear, balanced tone with singing sustain. The Slim Taper mahogany neck has an easy, fast feel, allowing intricate solos and complex chords with speed and precision.
P.A.F-Style Pickups for Classic Rock Tone
The 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue features Gibson's P.A.F-style humbucking pickups, which provide the warm, articulate tone of original late-'50s models. The neck pickup has an airy, vocal quality perfect for bluesy melodies and jazz chords. The bridge pickup delivers a cutting tone ideal for solos, with a touch of vintage grit. Blend the pickups together for a range of classic rock tones from creamy to crunchy.
V.O.S. Finish and Hardware for Authentic Look and Feel
Gibson's V.O.S. (Vintage Original Spec) finish gives the 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue a gently aged appearance, as if it's been lovingly played for decades. The thin nitrocellulose lacquer allows the wood to resonate freely, enhancing sustain and acoustic resonance. V.O.S. hardware includes Gibson's ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece and vintage-style tuners. These parts look and feel like originals from 1960, down to the patina and play in the mechanisms.
Vintage-Accurate Appointments
From the hide-glue construction to the era-correct hardware, no detail was overlooked in recreating the 1960 Les Paul Standard. The tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide rock-solid tuning stability and sustain. Vintage-style tuners with double-ring tips complete the period-correct aesthetic. The control knobs are reissues of the original "reflector" knobs, named for the aluminum inserts. All electronics are hand-wired for an authentic vintage tone with no loss of signal quality.

How much does the guitar weigh?
All guitars vary depending on the density of the wood. Manufacturers usually only spec size and type of wood. Guitars are generally between 6 and 12 lbs. They can be more. The only way to know the weight of an individual instrument is to weigh it. I'm sorry but I don't have one to weigh. This will be approximately 9.5 lbs.
