2015 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul G0 / R0 1960 Reissue Bourbon Burst

Description

2015 Gibson Les Paul G0 Bourbon Burst – Guitar Center Exclusive

The G0 is a special edition made exclusively for Guitar Center USA, based on the 1960 Les Paul Reissue (R0) and hand-built by the Gibson Custom Shop.
It shares the same historic construction methods and premium materials as the R0 series — combining the unmistakable vintage tone of a late-’50s Les Paul with modern reliability and flawless craftsmanship.

This model delivers that rich, warm Les Paul sound with exceptional articulation and resonance. Lightweight, musical, and full of character — a guitar that truly stands out in both feel and tone.

🎸 Tone & Character
Finished in a beautifully deep Bourbon Burst, this G0 features a stunning figured maple top with natural depth and glow. The slim 1960 Slim Taper neck ensures comfortable playability, while the mahogany body and maple top create the iconic Les Paul blend of warmth, sustain, and clarity.

Equipped with Custom Buckers, hide glue construction, aniline dyes, and nitrocellulose lacquer, the G0 delivers an authentic vintage response — dynamic, expressive, and rich in overtones.
