However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

The Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS delivers the fast, effortless playability that made the original ‘60 Burst a legend. Featuring a SlimTaper neck profile, this reissue offers a sleek feel that allows for fluid movement across the fretboard. The solid mahogany neck is topped with an Indian rosewood fingerboard, delivering a warm tonal response with smooth articulation. This classic profile was favoured by guitar legends throughout musical history, offering you an immensely comfortable, high-speed playing experience that captures the '60s vintage era of Les Paul guitars.
Loaded with unpotted Custombucker Alnico III pickups, this Les Paul is built for rich, dynamic tones. These pickups are carefully designed to replicate the sound of original PAF humbuckers, capturing the warmth, clarity, and sustain that made the ‘60s Bursts legendary. The bridge pickup delivers crisp highs and tight low-end response, perfect for cutting through a mix with definition and power. The neck pickup provides deep, smooth warmth with articulate mids, making it perfect for expressive lead work and soulful chord voicings. Combined with high-quality CTS potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors, these pickups offer the vintage Les Paul sound with unmatched authenticity.
Every detail of this reissue is designed to provide a true vintage experience, from the long-tenon hide-glue construction to the use of historically accurate plastics and materials. The one-piece lightweight mahogany body and two-piece figured maple top are carefully selected to deliver a resonant and balanced tonal foundation. The aged cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays and gold top hat knobs with silver reflector inserts further enhance the period-correct aesthetic. Every component is meticulously recreated, down to the silkscreened switch washer and amber Catalin switch tip, making this guitar as close to an original 1960 Les Paul Standard as possible.
The combination of hide-glue construction, premium tonewoods, and historically accurate hardware results in incredible resonance and sustain. The long-tenon neck joint ensures maximum transfer of vibration between the neck and body, enhancing the guitar’s natural sustain. The no-wire ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminium stop bar tailpiece provide rock-solid stability and vintage tonal response. With a mahogany body free of weight relief, every note is full-bodied and rich, with deep lows and singing highs. No matter the amp setup, this Les Paul delivers the dynamic response and harmonic complexity that made the originals legendary.
Finished in a beautifully aged Washed Cherry Sunburst, this Les Paul captures the look and character of a well-preserved vintage instrument. The nitrocellulose VOS (Vintage Patina) finish gives it an authentic worn-in feel, allowing the guitar to breathe and age naturally over time. The Kluson single-line, double-ring tuners, aged trapezoid inlays, and reflector control knobs all contribute to the vintage aesthetic, making this reissue a stunning tribute to the 1960 original. Every detail, from the laminated cellulose acetate butyrate pickguard to the historically accurate black Royalite control covers, enhances the guitar’s classic appeal, making it a true collector’s piece.
