If you’ve been dreaming about adding a truly iconic guitar to your collection — this might just be the one. We’ve just unboxed a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s in Iced Tea here at Colemans Music, and this isn’t just any Les Paul. This particular model comes with an exceptionally figured AA flamed maple top that looks absolutely stunning in person.
We see our fair share of Les Pauls, and we can confidently say — tops like this don’t come around often. This one is something special.
🍁 That Flamed Maple Top, Though...
Let’s be real. The first thing that catches your eye when you pick up this Les Paul Standard '60s is that deeply figured AA flamed maple top. The way the Iced Tea gloss nitro finish plays with the grain, shimmering and shifting under the light — it’s like the top is alive. Every angle reveals new depth and character.
This isn’t just about looks — although yes, it’s a serious head-turner. The carved maple cap paired with the solid mahogany body delivers that classic Les Paul tonal recipe: warmth, sustain, and punchy mids, with a sparkle that cuts right through the mix.
Tone for Days, Thanks to Burstbuckers
This guitar isn’t just a pretty face. It’s loaded with a pair of Burstbucker 61 pickups — the 61R in the neck and the 61T in the bridge — both powered by Alnico V magnets. These pickups are designed to capture the essence of those legendary late-‘50s and early-‘60s humbuckers.
From smooth cleans and warm jazz tones to gritty blues and screaming rock leads, these pickups handle it all with vintage character and modern clarity.
Built for Players Who Know What They Want
The '60s-style Slim Taper neck is fast, slick, and comfortable — perfect whether you're shredding leads or laying down soulful bends. The rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlays has that classic Gibson feel under your fingers, and the hand-wired electronics with Orange Drop capacitors give you ultra-responsive tone shaping.
Other touches include:
-
Grover Rotomatic tuners for rock-solid tuning stability
-
ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum stopbar tailpiece for sustain and resonance
-
Graph Tech nut and 22 medium jumbo frets for smooth playability
That Iced Tea Finish Hits Just Right
There’s a reason Gibson’s Iced Tea finish is so beloved. It blends rich amber and darker edges for a perfectly aged, vintage look that feels like it just stepped out of 1960 — but plays like a brand-new masterpiece. Paired with that AA flamed maple top? It’s pure guitar eye candy.
Comes Ready to Rock (and Travel)
