{"product_id":"gibson-les-paul-standard-60s-2023-blueberry-burst","title":"Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s 2023 Blueberry Burst","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a 2023 Gibson Les Paul Standard ’60s in Blueberry Burst, and this one has a couple things going for it that separate it from the usual Standard. The top is excellent, but what surprised me most is actually the neck—there is a flame running through the maple-like figuring that becomes very obvious when direct light hits the finish. I genuinely can’t remember another regular-production Les Paul Standard I’ve had with a neck that figured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Blueberry Burst is also a particularly good one. The center has that bright blue\/aqua look, while the outer edge transitions through a much deeper blue into purple. There is plenty of movement in the maple top, especially through the upper half and around the edges, and it looks considerably different depending on the angle and lighting. The cream plastics and amber knobs work really well against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original pickups sound exactly the way I want a ’60s Standard to sound—clear and punchy with plenty of definition, but still thick enough when you lean into it. The bridge has a nice bite without getting harsh, and the neck stays articulate rather than turning muddy. Electronics passed inspection with no issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlayability is excellent. It still has a very factory-feeling setup with medium action, a straight neck and frets that feel extremely smooth under the fingers. Intonation is spot on, fret condition is excellent, and I didn’t find anything during inspection that made me want to start changing the setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition is excellent overall. There are a few extremely light superficial marks if you go looking for them under direct light, but nothing that really jumps out during normal handling. The top presents beautifully, the back and neck are equally clean, and at 9.3 lbs on my scale it has the substantial Les Paul feel without being unusually heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt includes the original Gibson hardshell case along with the complete original case candy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat stood out to me\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent Blueberry Burst with a really strong figured top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnusually flamed neck visible through the finish under direct light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of the more interesting necks I’ve seen on a regular-production Les Paul Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal pickups are punchy, clear and full\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight neck with smooth, excellent frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-style medium action and a setup that passed inspection as-is\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpot-on intonation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent overall condition with only very light superficial wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9.3 lbs on my scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Gibson hardshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete original case candy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play.
