Overview

A double-cut electric guitar with vintage P-90 growl.

The Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Special Double-Cut Reissue electric guitar captures the essence of one of the most sought-after designs in Gibson history. Featuring a slab mahogany body with double cutaways, this reissue offers effortless access to every fret while maintaining the rich tonal warmth Les Pauls are known for. Its one-piece mahogany neck is carved into a comfortable '60s SlimTaper profile, paired with a rosewood fretboard adorned with mother-of-pearl dot inlays. At its core, this model boasts a pair of Gibson Custom USA P-90 soapbar pickups, delivering a versatile range of tones from smooth cleans to roaring grit. Complete with vintage-inspired hardware and a historically accurate wraparound bridge, this reissue stays true to its iconic lineage while providing modern playability. A vintage-style hardshell case with custom graphics ensures your instrument remains protected on the go.

Electric Guitar With Mahogany Body With Double Cutaway for Superior Access

This Les Paul guitar's double-cutaway design enhances access to the upper frets, making lead playing and soloing seamless. Crafted from a solid slab of mahogany, the body offers a resonant and warm tonal foundation, perfect for everything from subtle chord work to dynamic lead lines. The natural tonal properties of mahogany ensure a balanced response with pronounced mids and controlled lows. A single-ply cream binding along the fretboard adds a touch of refinement to the instrument's classic aesthetic. Combined with its lightweight yet durable construction, this design ensures a playing experience that is both comfortable and reliable. The result is a guitar that offers both vintage charm and modern functionality for today's players.

One-Piece Mahogany Neck With Rosewood Fretboard

The one-piece mahogany neck on this guitar is shaped into a '60s SlimTaper profile, providing a sleek and comfortable grip for fast-paced playing. Its rosewood fretboard features a 12" radius, ensuring smooth chording and effortless bends. Mother-of-pearl dot inlays not only enhance the visual appeal but also provide clear fret markers for precise navigation. Equipped with 22 medium-jumbo frets, this neck offers a blend of vintage feel and modern playability. The glued-in neck construction contributes to the instrument's legendary sustain, while the Graph Tech nut ensures consistent tuning stability. This neck design is ideal for players seeking a balance between speed and tactile feedback, making it a joy to play across all registers.

Gibson Custom USA P-90 Soapbar Pickups For Dynamic Tone

At the heart of this Les Paul reissue lies a pair of Gibson Custom USA P-90 Soapbar pickups, delivering a dynamic tonal palette that ranges from smooth and clean to gritty and aggressive. These pickups excel at capturing the nuances of your playing, offering a responsive touch that shines in both rhythm and lead settings. Handwired to CTS potentiometers and Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors, the electronics deliver vintage-correct tones with exceptional clarity. The independent volume and tone controls for each pickup allow for precise tonal shaping, while the three-way toggle switch ensures quick transitions between pickup configurations. This setup enables players to craft tones that cut through the mix while retaining warmth and depth.

Historically Accurate Wraparound Bridge for Sustain

This model features a historic aluminum wraparound bridge equipped with intonation adjustment screws, combining vintage aesthetics with modern functionality. The bridge design ensures optimal string vibration transfer to the body, resulting in enhanced sustain and resonance. Nickel plating adds a touch of elegance, complementing the guitar's timeless TV Yellow finish. Paired with Epiphone Deluxe three-on-a-plate tuners with white buttons, the hardware ensures excellent tuning stability, even under heavy playing conditions.
