Gibson's own product page (archived copy of gibson.com/products/gibson-les-paul-standard-60s-plain-top-ebony, since live fetches to gibson.com return HTTP 429) states verbatim: "Mahogany body with plain maple cap, mahogany neck with SlimTaper profile and rosewood fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, 60s Burstbucker pickups", a nut width of 43.05mm/1.7in, scale length 628.65mm/24.75in, fingerboard radius 304.8mm/12.0in, and a listed price of $2,599.00. A companion Gibson page for the Figured Top / custom-color version of the same model line (60s Cherry) confirms the identical core spec (mahogany body, 60s SlimTaper neck, ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge with aluminum stopbar, 60s Burstbucker neck and bridge humbuckers) but at a higher $2,799.00 price for its AA figured maple top and custom color options, confirming the $2,599 plain-top price is the correct entry point for this model line. No fetched page stated an actual instrument weight (only "Weight Relief: None"), so weight_lb is left null. Image is Gibson's own product photo, confirmed to load directly.
