I've hunted for this model in this colour and this seems to be the best price from a UK dealer.

Details:
The Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s Bourbon Burst Guitar sees the return of a vintage Gibson design - a traditional early 60s Les Paul Standard.
With its original-style, non-weight-relief construction, incredible PAF-like pickups, and gorgeous aesthetics, this guitar is as stylish and toneful as they come.
Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s Bourbon Burst Guitar Highlights
A Classic Design - Revisited
In 1957 Gibson introduced the world to the first humbucker - the legendary Patent Applied For (aka PAF) pickup. These thick-sounding pickups introduced a whole new tonal pallete to players, and helped shape the musical landscape for decades to come.
By the early 1960s the PAF's AlNico 2 magnets were replaced with a more powerful AlNico 5, giving players more headroom, and giving the new Les Paul Standard a voice of its own.
Now, to honour those legendary original Standard models, Gibson have released the all-new Les Paul Standard 60s model - a welcome return to a classic design.
A Classic Design Revisited
True to those early 60s Les Paul Standards, these new models feature the traditional single cutaway design. This guitar's body is crafted from a Solid Mahogany back, and capped with a piece of AA Figured Maple, combining gorgeous aesthetics with that renowned warm tone.
On top of this, there's a set-in Mahogany neck, with a slim-taper profile, giving a rock-solid feel, and a truly comfortable playing experience.
Vintage Rock Tone
To recreate that powerful, early '60s, AlNico V PAF tone, Gibson have fitted a set of BurstBucker 61 pickups to the new Les Paul Standard.
Whether you want those thick, creamy Neck position tones for a guitar solo, or those biting Bridge position sounds for some heavy riffing, this is the guitar for you.

Yeah, I think if you're dropping £1880 on a guitar you're probably going to want to try it in store first. The petrol money shouldn't really be a concern at that price point
Would be nice to know what model year it is at least, then you can find the answers to the rest of the specs on the Gibson site. The photo seems to be AA maple at least, but is the photo stock or of the actual guitar? As you say, it can vary.
If its current model, guitarguitar has these currently discounted to £2119 so this is a good price
It's not the right burst for me, but voted hot anyway.
Cheapest I can find is 2.5k...
Have you tried ebay? Reverb?
Not available for immediate delivery now.
This is my problem with this.
I don't know if it would lose much if you bought it and it wasn't what you were hoping for.
But it seems like a lot of money to spend to potentially not be impressed with the final product.
The Newcastle one is great and I’ve had two guitars off them in the last two years (thanks lockdown), and a bass amp.
prior to that I bought a bass from PMT online and despite asking about setup via live chat, it’s clearly just come as it was originally sent in the box from Ibanez
- Weight Relief: None
Damn. This might be a dealbreaker for me, don't get me wrong, I get that it's a 60s reissue model and this is probably what people want, but I already own an old LP Studio without weight relief and it's just too damn heavy!Yeah, not too convinced they inspect them, actually I feel more comfortable buying B-stock or ex-display models for this reason, on top of them being cheaper.
..was in there today .....went in looking for a little living room amp ....
Came away with a boss nextone stage
Still gutted I didn't buy a Les Paul traditional in the mad 2015 Amazon Xmas sale ....
£700 !
Did get a junior for £270 !....
Sold it later for 500
.....thought one good thing that would come out of Brexit would be cheaper American guitars ...
Fat chance of that
