Description
Gibson Custom Shop's 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue captures the vintage mojo of the originals, with a slim neck, killer P-90 pickups, and a double-cutaway body finished in striking TV Yellow. The Les Paul Junior and Special double-cuts first made their debut in 1958, but these really hit their stride in 1960, when the slim taper neck and a lower pickup placement was introduced, bringing the LP Special's playability to new heights. These intricately-detailed reissues from Gibson Custom Shop are not only aesthetically and structurally identical, they sound just like the originals, too. This LP Special's use of two Custom Soapbar P90s, CTS 500K Audio Taper pots, and paper-in-oil capacitors all contribute to that iconic P-90 single-coil tone - these pickups have the tonal versatility to get down and dirty when you need them to, but also deliver sparkling cleans. With its instantly-recognizable look to its exceptional playability and tone, the 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue exemplifies Gibson Custom Shop's stunning dedication and attention to detail.
