Is it a Gibson 1960 Les Paul Standard VOS Electric in Washed Cherry Sunburst finish?

A good guess, though 1960 LPs differ from 58s and 59s in a few ways. The most notable visual difference is that the 60 has reflector knobs instead of the regular gold tophats. Secondly, by 1960, Gibson (and Fender) had finally come up with a red based sunburst finish that wouldn't fade. Hence 1960 LPs have the more distinct "tomato soup" sunburst.

It's a recent Historic (Nashville bridge etc), so it'll either be an earlier (curly era) R8 or a more recent R9.

OK, but what model? There were two for this guitar. *hint*

No, the color for the 1960 VOS LPs is called Washed Cherry Sunburst. The only other one I've heard, so far, is called Ice Tea finish.

Yes, the 1960s do have mirror knobs, I should have noticed that.

Nope. Just one. But, I'm meant bodystyle. You obviously noticed the position of the pu swith. So what's the other one called?

Yes, that's the name of the Cherry Burst throughout Historic range, though the red is applied much more heavily to the R0 (that ruled the pic out as a 1960.) The "tomato soup" finish is the name that collectors use to describe the 1960 burst, as it doesn't fade to amber in the way that it does on 58/9s. So in fact it was my turn, as I had identified the Paul correctly and unfortunately you slipped up.;) However, you've gone and spoiled my fun by identifying the Coronado with ease.:D It's actually a Coronado II, but anyway…
