Underneath the color is the familiar ’60s Standard formula: a non-weight-relieved mahogany body, carved AA figured maple top, mahogany neck with the SlimTaper profile, bound rosewood fingerboard, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and the traditional ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic with aluminum stop bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Translucent Oxblood finish is the centerpiece here. These can vary dramatically from guitar to guitar, and this one is noticeably lighter and more visibly red than most Oxblood examples I’ve had. Instead of reading almost black until it catches direct light, the deep wine-red color is apparent from most angles, with the figuring underneath showing through nicely. It has a really rich metallic-looking depth in person and is one of those finishes that changes quite a bit depending on the lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElectronics are completely original, with the factory 60s Burstbucker humbuckers, individual volume and tone controls, and the traditional three-way selector. They have the punch and upper-mid presence I expect from a ’60s Standard—clearer and a little more immediate than a softer vintage-style humbucker while still retaining plenty of warmth in the neck position. Everything has been fully tested and is functioning correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mahogany neck uses Gibson’s ’60s SlimTaper carve, giving it the familiar quicker, slimmer feel compared with a ’50s Standard. The current setup passed inspection with comfortable medium action, the neck is playing correctly, intonation is spot on, and the frets remain in excellent condition. It weighs 9.51 lbs on my scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition is where this one differs from the typical collector-clean example, and I’ve priced it accordingly. It has several noticeable finish chips on the front, including a couple around the lower center of the top and additional edge wear on the treble side. There is also a chip on the back of the headstock and some finish checking around the neck\/binding area near the headstock. These areas are clearly photographed. Importantly, there are \u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eno breaks, repairs, or structural damage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e—this is cosmetic wear. The back of the body is actually in excellent shape, and the guitar as a whole remains structurally solid and plays exactly as it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt includes the original Gibson hardshell case along with the complete pictured case candy and accessories. For someone more interested in getting a great-playing Translucent Oxblood than paying the premium for a spotless example, this one makes a lot of sense.\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\u003e2023 Les Paul Standard ’60s Figured Top Custom Color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTranslucent Oxblood finish that shows substantially more red than many examples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAA figured maple top visible beneath the translucent finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal 60s Burstbucker pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-weight-relieved mahogany body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlimTaper ’60s mahogany neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eABR-1 Tune-O-Matic and aluminum stop bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrover Rotomatic tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent fret condition with spot-on intonation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComfortable setup and strong overall playability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9.51 lbs on my scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeveral photographed cosmetic chips and finish checking, but no breaks or structural damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Gibson hardshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete pictured 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.
