There's never a dull moment – audibly or aesthetically – with this Gibson Custom Shop 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue in a simply sweet VOS Tangerine Burst. 1960, one of Gibson's gold-plated years – particularly for the Les Paul – has an enduring legacy. This year's influence is still felt with wonderfully authentic and faithful models like the one before us today. Historically accurate sights and sounds make this Gibson Custom Shop piece a classic in and out of its time.

There's a total treasure trove waiting for you with a Gibson Custom Shop model like this. This all begins, like many great Les Paul stories before it, with a one-piece, lightweight, non-weight-relieved mahogany body. Meant to capture the authentic feel of a 1960 Les Paul Standard on the knee or over the shoulder, the mahogany singlecut body is a timeless element – the base that launched a thousand hits, so to speak. This authentic baseline element is then paired with its eternal partner-in-crime, a two-piece figured maple top. Though many Les Pauls series have flourished without the iconic maple cap, this striking 1960 recreation simply couldn’t bear the thought.

This Les Paul Standard body pairs the rich, resonant base of its mahogany with the top-end chirp of its maple with quality hide glue fit construction. From there, the body is decked in a luscious Gibson Custom Shop VOS nitrocellulose gloss finish. Meant to replicate the looks of an original Gibson gloss finish really only touched by the hands of time, this aged VOS finish inches the look of this guitar's cheery Tangerine Burst gently into a tastefully worn complexion.

Reaching out, this Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Standard features solid mahogany neck in a 60s SlimTaper profile. The famously slimmer 60s profile fits effortlessly in your grip and slips smoothly from lower to higher registers. An Indian rosewood fingerboard joins in at this juncture for an authentic Les Paul Standard feel on the fingers. Twenty-two Authentic Medium Jumbo frets line up along the board with aged cellulose nitrate Trapezoid inlays for that added vintage geometric element.

For its voice, the Gibson Custom Shop loaded in – what else – two Gibson Custombucker Alnico 3 humbuckers. Summoning that all-important humbucking warmth and clarity, the story told with these pickups is consistent with so many Gibsons of decades past – and oh, what a story it is. These Custombuckers are fitted with CTS 500K potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors for deep and expressive mixing through their tones.

This Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Standard backs up its sounds with a robust series of hardware specs. At the base of the scale, this Les Paul features a No-Wire ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and matching lightweight aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece. Grounding strings stably with nickel-plated brass saddles, this bridge and tailpiece combo is an icon just as much as anything else here. At the scale's opposite end, we're met with a number of smaller pieces including a nylon nut and Kluson tuning machines. This Gibson Custom Shop piece travels with an included Lifton Reissue five-latch case and a certificate of authenticity booklet.

A timeless piece from the Gibson Custom Shop, 1960 is alive and well – truly, worry not.

An enjoyable Simpson Comic
Format: Paperback
Now this is a fun book. It largely uses the same tv formula of irreverent humor to poke fun at the classics. The Simpsons and their extended family in Springfield play all the roles to perfection. The only thing that stops me from giving this a 5 star rating is that there are too many stories and they all seem slightly short and episodic.

A great way to introduce the classics to your kid
Format: Paperback
I mean it. It's very funny, yet introduces a number of important stories and characters from greek mythology and the Bible right though to Shakespeare. Will be funnier when my son reads the actual stories these are based on. A whole lotta compare and contrast will ensue, I imagine. I think it will pique his interest in the classics.

Big hit
Format: Paperback
A really fun collection for the young fans of the annual Simpsons Treehouse of Horror shows. My child is a little on the young (8) side for a Simpsons fan but thoroughly enjoyed this collection.
