I wanted this for myself so bad lol for a family member to pass down a guitar but no one else plays. Hopefully when I have kids they want to learn to play I can’t wait to pass my standard down lol
I don't care how many times I've done this, or how many times I've seen it done....it is STILL exciting as hell to watch every time!! When the smell of that nitrocellulose lacquer hits you in the face! Thank you!
This burst is a killer! From the “modern bursts” this is by far my favorite. I got an iced tea myself but only because the unburst was unavailable back then. Congratulations!
Nice, congrats on the new guitar! I just bought this same model / color about a month ago. Gibson has a pretty dubious reputation online and I believed it for a long time, but this is the BEST playing and sounding guitar I have ever had. It's a keeper for sure.
Bought the unburst 1st run 2019 still loving it.. pickups are hottter than the burst buckers 1 and 2 in the 50’s…to my understanding both 50’s and 60’s standards now are what they should be..👍🏻
Did you get any of those red hot balls in the candy bag? That's what I expected for an "Unburst" '60 to look like, the cherry/red was a new formula for that year to avoid fading... I notice some people saying it is not an unburst. If it looked like a '58 or '59 unburst then it would be wrong - see my previous sentence. This is a version of the real 1960 "Beano" of Eric Clapton when he was in the Bluesbreakers - and subsequently lost and still missing, so far as I know. Jeff Beck also had a 1960 (which was fitted with a black guard). P
Bro, that's not and unburst. An unburst looks like a completely faded out finish with no differentiation in the colors. The backs will be a different color but are not bright cherry red or that the black back. It'll be a really faded out variance of the original back color.
I know the biggest kick I get opening my Sweetwater packages is the candy! BOSS tuner pedal came in yesterday - open box, straight to the candy. Oh, and the tuner is cool. Lead spot on the board, soon...
@@donnyhall2535 I own an unburst with the cherry red back, ordered from the demo shop in late 2021, so I can verify that they do come in that combination. But the top of the guitar in the video does look like iced tea sunburst, rather than unburst, around the horn and selector switch. Either way, it's a beauty.
nice ! just got another 60th anniversary 1960 Les Paul V3 in wide tomato burst...to go with my matching Bourbon burst. Then I had to get the 61 Gibson Custom Les Paul/SG in Cherry Red. All really nice guitars from the custom shop..nothing is better than a new Gibson !
Congrats from down under! It is stunning bit'a gear! I currently have a few guitars. My 60s LP standard unburst, along with my Love Rock LP Tokai (high end), are easily my favourites.
Love my 57 Les Paul standard. Bought a 1956. Fender amp. My opinion. The Older amplifier has a deeper quality of sound. Take care! Australia. From the Ozarks Missouri
Man! That thing is a beauty. Supah Envious… I’m pretty sure I remember something about the polish cloth that comes in the case discoloring the finish. Could have been an older cloth or different finish, but I’d look into it, if I had that gem of a guitar. Congrats on the good score.
Beautiful unburst dude, I bought a 50s Standard in Tobacco Burst, it was a close decision between it and this one. Decided on the 50s because I have a 2014 Classic with the slim neck profile and I just wanted something totally different. Very nice
That’s what was kinda nice back in the day when everyone bought their guitars from a store… you’d already see any dings or minor damage the guitar had… so it’s nice that you’d know what to expect
Wow! Beautiful LP. I’m still waiting for my LP custom 57 reissue Black Beauty. Ordered in Nov 20 and latest is expected in July 22. Gotta have it…I’m 67 going in 26…
That is a very cool looking guitar, congratulations. One thing I would have done when taking it out of the case, would be to check the headstock for cracks. It was well packed but you never know with shipping.
I also bought a Gibson LP unburst 60s . (2021) one of the best guitars I've ever played. I have the Slash 50's standard and a tribute too. All 3 are killer and all 3 have different pickups and slightly different necks. Gibsons are just special! your top is a beauty too. how did you like the set up out of the box? I only lowered the action and raised the pick ups and have done nothing else to mine.
beautifull guitar , i hope you are happy with it . i dont understand the name unbusrt , it has a burst but no flames , shouldnt it be called unflamed but bursteded or something ?
Thank you! I’m very happy with it. Frankly, I don’t get it either. It does however have a lovely, unique flame that looks cool under the lights. I love your question though, sounds like a Seinfeld bit. Thanks for watching.
That figuring in the top is cool. I kind of see a Zorro "Z". Why would they give you an extra blank truss rod cover? Isn't the one on the guitar that says Strandard kind of, well, standard?
Re your cats. We bought so many beds and special warming blankets and toys. A paper bag or a box is what they choose every time. They do play with their toys though. They eventually make it over to their beds or take over ours. Les Paul’s are great. I love gold tops myself but beautiful guitar. Enjoy n I deleted my post from 8 months ago just reposted. Sorry about that. Rewatching it anyway. Guitarists and cats seem to go together.
It's a timeless beauty. On side note I never understood why they put a 3 number combination lock on the case. It seems unnecessary, prone to malfunction and forgetfulness of the combination.
I bought an unburst myself in 2020 and weighs in just 2oz under 10lbs and the top supposely is a AA factory rated spec but just in 2yrs I've had it it now has more flames than a tigers coat.It really must have been fresh wood or somebody pulled it from the wrong pile once it got painited..too late. My benefit...Your top is beautiful as well!
I'm waiting for delivery of my 60s unburst its yellow and orange the same with no red on the front. Cant wait. However you scared me putting the case on that lovely table and sliding it around. Theres studs on the back of the case. As a lover of beautiful timber I had anxiety issues 😂
I’d love to see yours when you get it. I love mine! As far as the table goes, it’s just a pine top with many smiles and miles on it. Thanks for your concern though. Thanks for watching.
That’s a gem for sure! I actually prefer the 50s ones. Believe it or not I bought 2 this year. A 50s Tobacco and a 50s Gold Top with P90s. I’m curious is that neck a skinny as the LP Classic? I have one of them as well I think it’s an 19. It’s quite thin. Anyway very nice.
I have a Burny classic, it’s a pretty thin neck but, this slim taper neck is the thinnest LP neck I’ve ever played. It takes awhile to get used to. Thanks for watching.
Congrats on your new guitar, but I had a question. Why did you buy from Sweetwater when you could have bought straight from Gibson? I would think it would be cheaper to eliminate the middle man.
Hey John, I never considered that. But, I’ve a long standing relationship with my SW rep so I let him know I was looking for a blem. He sent pics and specs of several. This was the lightest in weight and I really like the odd flame it has. Plus, I got what I feel like was a great price. I paid less for this than I’ve seen used ones going for. Thanks for watching.
@@hangtite87 thank's for the tip mate , I made a typo there $6000 here that's like a new car from Tesla for you guys , I would need more then 6 months. Any how there a nice guitar 🎸
Zorro would approve👏👏
Thats a gorgeous les paul
Got Dad's 57 Les Paul standard. Had it since 65. Am now 65. Love his 335 Gibson. To me. Nothing sounds better than a Les Paul standard.
Lucky guy!
@@hangtite87 Very Thankful! Wifes not! LoL! Adios.
Wow... one of the few 50s Les Paul's that Joe Bonamassa hasn't managed to snap up yet!
Joe B will most probably contact you if he ever sees this comment
I wanted this for myself so bad lol for a family member to pass down a guitar but no one else plays. Hopefully when I have kids they want to learn to play I can’t wait to pass my standard down lol
This is how I do my guitar unboxings too!
-Clear off table
-Make sure wife isn’t home so she doesn’t see I bought another guitar
-Open box…
😂
I was waiting for one of those cats to drop a turd right on that Gibson box but alas, it weren’t to be.
@@harryballs5080 They're cats, not Amber Heard.
@@brushstroke3733 HA HA HA
@@brushstroke3733 you mean Amber Turd 😂
😂😂😂😂 Not the only one hiding my guitars. By the way, my wife knows the average price of my guitars 400-600 dollars
I don't care how many times I've done this, or how many times I've seen it done....it is STILL exciting as hell to watch every time!! When the smell of that nitrocellulose lacquer hits you in the face! Thank you!
Yes! Thanks for watching.
I got a 60's Unburst last year.... i've had prob 30-40 guitars , and the unburst is easily top 3... its actually stunning!!! congrats!
I enjoyed watching a regular guy unboxing an amazing guitar. Wow, what a beauty! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching.
Nice guitar... i just snagged a 50's Standard myself.. they are awesome musical instruments
This burst is a killer! From the “modern bursts” this is by far my favorite. I got an iced tea myself but only because the unburst was unavailable back then.

Good to know. Thanks for watching.
It's beautiful, I love the grain in the top. The little dent would be my favorite feature because it saved me money.
Yes! Saved some $ and got a great guitar. Coming up on 2 years now and still loving it.
Thanks for watching.
That flame is SO unique! Love it!
Lovely guitar. I like how it has a unique bit of flame going on. Gives it character.
The eye of Sauron ;)
Beautiful guitar!! Congrats on getting it! I bought the Gibson LP 60's Iced Tea Burst last year and I love it!!!
Cool, have you made any mods to it yet?
The smell of opening a Les Paul guitar case! Magnificent!
Nothing like it!
Love the way cats love to help you unpack a box.
The Cats are more excited about the box, than you are about the guitar!!🤣😂
Congratulations on your new Gibson Les Paul Standard, may it give you years of playing pleasure.
Thank you and thanks for watching.
I have a 2021 unburst. By far the best finish. I'm tired of the same old finish options and I think it's stunning
Me too. Hope you enjoy yours.
Thanks for watching.
Beautiful! Heavily considering the unburst myself.
Got my 60s neck bourbon burst about 6 months ago and it immediately took over all my gibsons as my #1. They're amazing guitars
Always prefer the Gibson Guitar. Strats are alright. But not a Les Paul standard.
Bought the unburst 1st run 2019 still loving it.. pickups are hottter than the burst buckers 1 and 2 in the 50’s…to my understanding both 50’s and 60’s standards now are what they should be..👍🏻
Congrats, my friend. It’s gorgeous!
Absolutely LOVED the very end there, with the camera person getting their cut of the goodies! 🤣❤️
Beautiful guitar Unburst is so nice that the grain pops out, like a Honeyburst.Cool Cats❤️ sharing the fun!
I'm suprised that the cat standing on the box didn't result in a headstock break. That's a beauty!
Lol, he’s all fur. Thanks for watching.
Awesome! So glad you're pleased with your new Gibson guitar!
Gorgeous. Love how you reviewed, good filming too!
Thanks for watching.

Not all '60s...but, I will say a true unBurst with Reflector Knobs is probably pretty rare.

Nice guitar man. I can imagine it sounds lovely grinding em out with that one.
Thanks, I’ll post a vid from our live show tonite later tomorrow.
Beautiful Les Paul Awwwwww those gorgeous cats we are having the Box Daddy
Man! That thing is a beauty.
Supah Envious…
I’m pretty sure I remember something about the polish cloth that comes in the case discoloring the finish. Could have been an older cloth or different finish, but I’d look into it, if I had that gem of a guitar.
Congrats on the good score.
I will, thanks for watching.
FRIGGIN GORGEOUS!!!!! congratulations

wheeww that is a nice one! Congratulations!! cats were cute too "helping out" :)
I love that “I just got a Les Paul” feeling.
The cats are thinking "YAY BOX!”
As we say in Ireland, well wear! Such a beautiful instrument!
Congratulations 👏.....nice that it has Grovers.... can't wait to hear it ....
There should be a couple of vids on my Chanel. Thanks for watching.
Yes !! I have same year , model , and color !! Sweet Axe
Cool! Play the hell out of it!
Thanks for watching !
I bought a 1960 in 2000 that was made in 2000 in honey burst, and she is a beauty!
Just got a 60’s in ocean blue. Amazing how far they’ve come. Much better guitar than they were a 10 years ago
Send a pic pls. Sounds cool!
That is a very cool looking guitar, congratulations. One thing I would have done when taking it out of the case, would be to check the headstock for cracks. It was well packed but you never know with shipping.
True, I later inspected very carefully in the sunlight. No flaws, cracks or repairs.

I second this! Best guitar in my lifetime so far (30 years).
It’s beautiful, but looks like a semi-burst?
Looks great. It might be 'unburst' but I'd say that's got more nice flame than my R8!
Mine too. Thanks for watching

Exactly like my ex-demo discounted unburst! My blemish was a mark on the fretboard and has buffed right out.
Love your 2 unboxing Supervisors ;^)
The cats are thinking "YEAH DAD BOUGHT SOME NEW BOXES!"
Lol! You’re right! They loved it for a few days.
Thanks for watching.
Two of the greatest things are 1: Unboxing a new guitar. 2: Your wife not home to find out about it.
Lol! Thanks for watching.
