Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Electric Guitar (with Case)

Gibson's Custom Shop takes you back to 1960 with this unique guitar -- a P90-loaded tone machine just like the real vintage double-cutaway Les Paul Specials.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Mahogany body and neck Rich, warm tone with focused midrange
Indian rosewood fretboard Rich lows, pronounced treble, and clear midrange
P90 Soap Bar Pickups Smooth, sweet tone with a powerful, open midrange
Wraparound tailpiece Hard tail w/ string wrap-around; better intonation

The Les Paul Junior and Special were revised in 1958 to have double cutaways and more fingerboard access, but the Special didn't really hit its groove until 1960, when the lower pickup placement and slim neck taper made it more robust and easier to play than ever. Gibson Custom Shop has proudly replicated the originals in intricate detail with these 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissues. They are complete structural and visual clones of the coveted vintage counterparts, but the real magic is in their identical sound and playability. A pair of mean, fiery P-90s create tones ranging from sparkling cleans to crunchy distortion. Anything you throw at it, this Les Paul can handle!

I have a 2018 with firebird pickups so I can’t say about the p90’s. It’s a very fast, slinky feel from the slim neck. Compact, relatively light compared to a a Les Paul Standard. No regrets!
