Description
The Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue is a great choice for intermediate players or working musicians chasing that punchy P-90 tone with a real vintage edge. This Inspired by Gibson Custom Double Cut, based on the sought-after 1960 Gibson original, captures the rawness and stripped-back vibe of the era, but with the playability and reliability that modern players expect. Whether you're into garage rock, blues, or anything that leans gritty, this guitar has the character to match.
You've got a slab mahogany body, a fast 60s SlimTaper neck, and a pair of Gibson Custom USA P-90 Soapbar pickups that absolutely sing. The tones are wide-ranging; go clean and chimey or dig in for that barking midrange P-90 growl. Controls are hand-wired with CTS pots and Bumblebee caps, so you're getting authentic vintage-style response and smooth tone shaping. And the historic wraparound bridge with intonation screws gives you that signature Les Paul sustain with solid tuning stability.
Playability's dialed in too. The rosewood fingerboard has a 12" radius with medium jumbo frets, which makes chords and bends equally easy. It's got all the vintage-correct touches, open book headstock, black plastics, cream binding, and it ships in a proper brown vintage-style case. We've had a lot of Les Paul Specials through here, and this one really delivers the old-school feel without any of the fuss.
