This is a 2010 Epiphone (by Gibson) 50th Anniversary Limited Edition 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue Flametop. This guitar is in excellent condition, and plays and sounds great. There's one small ding on the back of the body, and one of the knobs has a crack in it. It has stock Gibson USA Burstbucker pickups. This also has a long neck tenon. Beautiful Heritage Cherry Sunburst Flametop. This is the Version 1 (V1) which is more like a '59 than a '60 Reissue with a Fat 50's neck. This comes with the Original "Lifton" style case and COA (Certificate of Authenticity). There were only 1960 of these made total, and this is # 1045.Commemorating the Beginning of an Era that ROCKED the World! Epiphone is proud to introduce the new, Ltd Ed "1960" Les Paul Standard honoring 50 years from the start of an era. The 1960 Les Paul initially carried over the same basic specifications as its predecessor from 1959. Among these details were the full, rounded "D" shaped neck profile, top-hat control knobs, and optional Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish. These characteristics can be found in Epiphone's new "Version-1" 50th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard. However, by the latter part of 1960 the specifications were changed. The most significant change was the new "SlimTaper" neck profile that was slimmer and considered "more modern" than the fatter 1959 profile. The "new" SlimTaper neck profile can be found on Epiphone's new "Version-3" 50th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul and went on to be the neck used on Les Pauls throughout the 1960's. Both versions were equipped with flatter, wider frets that allow more dramatic bends. The impact of that change was not truly realized until the 1960's when rock and blues players discovered the magical fat, warm voice and feel of the Les Paul Standard. And with a history going back to the 1940's when Les Paul himself would visit the Epiphone factory in New York and work on what has come to be known as the FIRST electric guitar, this Limited Edition also pays homage to not only the beginning of the 1960's but also to the man that started it all.
