Our take on the Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue Electric Guitar

The Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a single-cutaway electric guitar built to vintage 1960 specs, with a mahogany body and maple top, a SlimTaper neck, and period-correct electronics. It sits at the top of Epiphone's Les Paul line, aimed at players who want a slim-neck Les Paul without Gibson Custom Shop money. The best new price is $1,299 at Sweetwater as of November 4, 2026, and four stores carry it new. That is premium territory for an Epiphone, so compare it against a Gibson Les Paul Standard or a used Gibson before committing.

Questions and answers

Is the Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue worth $1,299?
It is worth it if you want a slim-neck Les Paul with vintage specs and don't want to pay Gibson prices. At $1,299 at Sweetwater as of November 4, 2026, it competes with used Gibson Standards, so try one first.
How does it differ from a standard Epiphone Les Paul Standard?
The 1960 Reissue uses a slimmer neck profile, vintage-style wiring and pickups, and period-correct hardware. The standard model has a rounder neck and more modern electronics.
Is the neck slim or chunky?
It has a SlimTaper profile modeled on 1960 Les Pauls. It is noticeably thinner than a '50s-style neck and suits players who find chunky necks slow.
How much does it weigh?
It is a full mahogany Les Paul with a maple top, so expect roughly 9 to 10 pounds. That is normal for the model but heavy for long standing sets.
What comes in the box?
You get the guitar, a hardshell case or gig bag depending on the listing, and the usual paperwork. Confirm the case with the store before ordering.

Les Paul prices move little, but holiday sales and store promotions are the usual windows for a discount. Check the price history before buying at full price.
