• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Is Gibson discontinuing the Original Series Les Paul Standard '60s?

Friends,

I was just visiting Gibson.com where I shockingly was NOT able to see the 60s version of the Original series Les Paul Standard listed as part of the current lineup. Please tell me it aint so! Here's the link to the Original collection:

https://www.gibson.com/Guitars/Collection/original

I'd like to know if this is news or my inability to use the interwebs.

Thanks!

Roli

It is NOT there, but that may be explained from poor website management... because it remains HERE:
https://www.gibson.com/Guitars/Les-Paul

They've always had a crappy, inconsistent web design. And seem to be upholding that tradition very well.

:salude

P.S. Wrong pub, BTW. This belongs in the USA pub.

4th row, first column in prior 'Les Paul' link...

Can you see this direct page?
https://www.gibson.com/Guitar/CUS48E666/1960-Les-Paul-Standard-Reissue

Yes. I can see the $6,499 custom shop 1960 Les Paul Standard reissue at the link you provided. It is not the same as the $2,499 Original Series Les Paul Standard ‘60s model. I see the ‘50s version on Gibson’s site but the ‘60s version is not anywhere I can find it. Just wondering.

Here’s the ‘50s model:

Where is the ‘60s model?

Sorry dude my bad... yeah, No Original just Reissue. Let's hope it's not discontinued. Would be a shame. Perhaps a dealer rep will chime in... :hmm

No problem. I appreciate the extra set of eyes looking for what appears to be missing. :(

You know, you are right. To be upholding the tradition is a fantastic idea, but it is not related to badly done work. Web design is visit pasteboard, the face of your business. It cannot be crappy or inconsistent. When the deal takes part in web design, I always contact MasterBundles. They can provide more than 35 classic sans serif fonts. You can explore them on the website.

Right on the Les Paul page. Here's mine, as well as my buddy Les Paul (circa 1998 Iridium Club, NY)
