Overview

A Guitar Center Exclusive Pelham Blue take on Gibson’s iconic double-cut rock machine.

Some guitars become legends by adding complexity. The Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cut became one by removing it. Available exclusively at Guitar Center in Pelham Blue, this Gibson Les Paul Special Double-Cut electric guitar revives one of the company's most beloved stripped-down designs with the unmistakable bite of dual P-90 soapbar pickups and the effortless upper-fret access of its double-cutaway body. A solid mahogany body, SlimTaper mahogany neck and hand-wired electronics preserve the straightforward philosophy that made the original a favorite among generations of players. Equal parts vintage workhorse and modern performance instrument, this Guitar Center Exclusive version celebrates the no-frills attitude that has defined the Les Paul Special for decades.

Double-Cut Mahogany Construction With Timeless Character

The Les Paul Special Double Cut begins with a solid mahogany body that delivers warmth, sustain and the midrange authority Gibson instruments are known for. Its symmetrical double-cutaway design adds visual distinction while providing easy access to higher frets for lead work and expressive phrasing. The lightweight construction also contributes to balanced ergonomics whether seated, standing or moving around the stage. Finished in high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the Guitar Center Exclusive Pelham Blue finish adds a sleek modern edge to one of Gibson's most enduring designs.

SlimTaper Neck Built for Fast, Comfortable Playability

A mahogany neck carved to Gibson's SlimTaper profile provides a fast, approachable feel that accommodates everything from rhythm playing to fluid lead passages. The bound rosewood fingerboard offers a refined playing surface while preserving the understated aesthetic that has long defined the Les Paul Special. Twenty-two frets, acrylic dot inlays and Gibson's familiar 24.75" scale length create an instantly recognizable playing experience that rewards both vintage purists and contemporary players.

Dual P-90 Soapbars Capture Gibson's Signature Growl

At the heart of the Les Paul Special Double Cut are two P-90 soapbar pickups that occupy a unique sonic space between traditional single-coils and humbuckers. Their articulate top end, muscular midrange and dynamic sensitivity make them exceptionally responsive to picking nuance and volume adjustments. Independent volume and tone controls for each pickup further expand tonal flexibility, while hand-wired electronics featuring orange drop capacitors maintain vintage-inspired clarity and a smooth control taper.

Vintage Hardware Keeps Things Simple and Reliable

True to the instrument's original philosophy, hardware appointments prioritize function over excess. A wraparound bridge efficiently transfers string energy into the body to maximize resonance and sustain while maintaining straightforward operation. Gibson Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons pair with a Graph Tech nut to provide dependable tuning stability without disrupting the guitar's minimalist aesthetic. Nickel hardware and classic appointments complete a package that feels intentionally uncomplicated rather than sparse.

A Guitar Center Exclusive Return to Rock Essentials

The Les Paul Special Double Cut remains proof that some of the most inspiring instruments are also the simplest. Its combination of resonant mahogany construction, expressive P-90 pickups and streamlined hardware continues to appeal to players who value feel, responsiveness and authenticity over unnecessary complexity. Available exclusively at Guitar Center in Pelham Blue and supplied with a hardshell case, this Gibson Les Paul Special Double-Cut electric guitar delivers one of the company's most enduring designs in a fresh exclusive finish built for today's players.
