Here’s a near mint 2022 Gibson Historic R0 1960 Les Paul M2M (made to measure) in a factory burst VOS finish. This guitar has a killer maple top that I chose myself and barely shows any sign being played. As a 2022 model it includes a 70th anniversary Les Paul medallion for the switch plate on the back of the guitar. This R0 is what is known as a V1 version, which has the same specs as a 1959 Les Paul (see below). The guitar has Custom Bucker pickups, Bumblebee caps, Kluson deluxe tuning keys and historic Lifton style case with all case candy, certificate of authenticity. Weighs in at just over 8 1/2 pounds of historic Gibson tone. A VOS (vintage original spec) finish is one that has not been buffed out to a gloss at the factory and the hardware is lightly aged as well.
Gibson sez: “This model celebrates the iconic 1960 Les Paul Standard, which has shaped music across genres for more than six decades. The artisans at Gibson Custom Shop have proudly recreated the experience of owning a priceless original thanks to painstaking attention to detail and tireless study of vintage examples, closely following the three distinct versions seen within 1960. Those made in the first third of the year (V1) had the same specs as 1959 models, while the middle third (V2) had thinner neck profiles, different knobs and brighter colors. The final third (V3) featured even thinner neck profiles. Each version is available within this historic limited run of instruments, inspiring players in different ways. Included is a 70th Anniversary switch plate, Certificate of Authenticity booklet and a vintage replica hardshell case..”
