RDS Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul 1960 Reissue with Brazilian Rosewood Electric Guitar - "Jasmine" Faded Cherry

Introducing “Jasmine,” a remarkable 2019 Gibson Custom Shop 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue, expertly reimagined to channel the spirit of an early ‘60s Burst. Weighing in at an ideal 8.8 lbs, Jasmine offers the perfect balance of resonance and comfort for serious players.

This instrument features a lightweight mahogany body with a beautifully figured two-piece maple top, delivering the classic Les Paul tonal foundation and sustain. The neck sports an authentic 1960 V1 profile—slightly slimmer than a ’59 but with more substance than later 1960 necks—offering exceptional playability and feel for those who know the difference.

A carefully selected Brazilian Rosewood fretboard provides the rich harmonic complexity, clarity, and response that experienced players demand from a truly vintage-correct Les Paul. Hide-glue construction and a long neck tenon ensure optimal resonance and structural integrity, just like the originals.

Jasmine is equipped with RetroSpec Aged ThroBak SLE-101 Plus MXV PAF Humbuckers and period-accurate hardware and plastics, faithfully recreating the iconic tone and look of the golden era. The vintage-faded cherry burst finish highlights the top’s unique figure, completing the authentic aesthetic.

Part of the Real Deal Series from Historic Makeovers, Jasmine represents the pinnacle of vintage-accurate restoration—crafted for players and collectors who appreciate the nuances that set a great Les Paul apart from the rest.
