The Les Paul Standard 60s carries an ABR-1 bridge and stopbar, the narrower vintage-correct post spacing rather than the wider Nashville spec found on most current Epiphones, with the slimmer 60s neck profile and Burstbucker 61R/61T pickups distinguishing it from the fatter-necked Standard 50s.

Purpose-built as a locking version of this guitar's factory ABR-1 bridge. Locking studs mean it will not fall out when you change strings.
TonePros markets the AVR2 specifically as their ABR-1/vintage-spec locking retrofit, matching this guitar's factory ABR-1 bridge.

View at AmazonThis bridge uses metric threads, not the inch threads on genuine vintage Gibson hardware. Sources disagree on whether it drops straight in or needs different posts. Worth checking your bridge's thread type before ordering.
Gotoh's GE104B uses M4 metric threaded posts, not the 6-32 inch threads genuine vintage Gibson ABR-1 hardware uses. Retailer listings for this exact bridge genuinely disagree on whether it's a direct fit for post-2017 Gibson ABR-1 guitars: some describe it as a straight drop-in replacement for Gibson or Epiphone ABR-1-style bridges, others explicitly state it is not a direct replacement for Gibson ABR-1 bridges. This guitar's bushing thread type has not been independently confirmed against either claim.

This bridge is built for the Nashville-style bridge mount, not the ABR-1 mount on this guitar. Would need post/bushing changes, not a straight drop-in.
Hipshot's Tone-A-Matic is built for the Nashville/import-style non-vintage TOM mounting, not true inch-thread ABR-1 hardware found on this Gibson. Post spacing and thread differ between the two systems.

Fits the existing 10mm tuner holes on this guitar without any drilling.
The 60s reissue specifically (as distinct from the Standard 50s) is consistently reported across multiple sources as shipping with modern Grover-style tuners on 10mm holes with screw-in bushings, confirmed by several My Les Paul Forum threads discussing this reissue by name. Not a genuine source conflict, the earlier hedge here was inaccurate.

This guitar's tuner holes are the larger modern size, not the smaller vintage size this tuner is built for. It will sit loose without an adapter, not a straightforward swap.
The 60s reissue specifically ships with modern Grover-style 10mm tuner holes with screw-in bushings, not the vintage-style 8.8mm press-fit holes this product is built for. A vintage-post tuner in an oversized 10mm hole would sit loose rather than seat properly, the reverse of the usual vintage-to-modern reaming problem, and needs a bushing adapter or hole-filling rather than being a simple swap.
