Then it would be a Standard. ??????
Isn't a "60's neck" Standard pretty much the same?
Do they both use the same bridge?
:hmm

Hey 1 fastdog ! Did you play guitar with " Hoochie" out of the Tampa area ? I think I spoke to you at Playground South in Jacksonville Fl around 1981Gibson made a few stabs in the late 60's and on at reissue stuff.
In that respect the Classic 1960's were not early at all.
My recollection of Gibson addressing the buyer that wanted a vintage style Les Paul Standard which was even vaguely correct was the Heritage Series in 1980. It's been awhile but I believe this was in the 1980's timeframe. I think they were "Heritage Series Standard 80" and "Heritage Series Elite 80". Difference between the two series was Standards were curly maple tops and Elites were quilted maple tops.
I was so intrigued by the thread that I went and found a pic of a Heritage Series LP that I was offered at an non-refusable price and played as a backup guitar way back when.
They certainly were not correct in a few respects. No Klusons, truss rod cover misplacement, etc. etc. However, I will tell you that if you could go through a few of them there was some magic to be found.
Here's a pic hard dated 1980 that shows me playing a far earlier go by Gibson of a "vintage" style LP as opposed to a 1990 or 1991 1960 Classic.

Hat e to say it, but 1|FastDog hasn't logged in to this place in over 3 years. Doubt you'll get a response.Hey 1 fastdog ! Did you play guitar with " Hoochie" out of the Tampa area ? I think I spoke to you at Playground South in Jacksonville Fl around 1981
