1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard "Cecil" serial 0-7668

PROVENANCE & ORIGINALITY
Offered for sale is "Cecil," a breathtaking 1960 Les Paul Standard with a remarkable story. Originally shipped to South Africa, this guitar remained with the family of the original owner for 65 years. It is now appearing on the market for the first time, sourced directly from the son of the original owner.

This instrument perfectly encapsulates the true meaning of "Heritage"—a genuine, original Burst, with the sole exception of a high-end reproduction pickguard crafted from period-correct vintage material.

INTEGRITY
No breaks, no repairs, and no touch-ups. The guitar shows only honest, minor playwear that tells the story of a well-loved but meticulously cared-for instrument.

THE "BURST" VISUALS
The finish is simply sensational. The sunburst remains vibrant and unfaded, showcasing a subtle flamed maple top that "dances" under the light. The fretboard is a real beauty, featuring the darkest Brazilian Rosewood imaginable, providing a stark, elegant contrast to the vivid body colors.

FEEL & PERFORMANCE
While 1960 models are often known for their "Slim Taper" necks, "Cecil" features a full C-shaped profile that feels substantial and comfortable.

WEIGHT: Lightweight and perfectly balanced.

ELECTRONICS: Two original PAF humbuckers that sound spectacular, offering legendary depth and harmonic complexity.

PLAYABILITY: Despite the original frets being low (as expected for the era), the guitar plays beautifully with a fast, smooth action and that unmistakable "broken-in" vintage feel.

CASE
Includes its original, period-correct 5-latch Lifton case, in excellent functioning condition.
