Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue Electric Guitar, Cherry Red

Forever sweet and forever fresh, take a bite of the Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue! Hearkening to Gibson's gold-played '50s, this Les Paul Special throws it back to a fruitful time in electric guitar design. Gibson's original 1955 Les Paul Special, first a single-cut with P-90 single-coils, gets a loving revival of its precursor student-grade form in this Epiphone "Inspired by Gibson Custom" series model.

The Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue swings in as part of Epiphone's Inspired by Gibson Custom series with a lineup of authentic, vintage-accurate specifications sure to make the hearts of Les Paul Special fans skip a beat. This sets off with a solid mahogany body assuming the iconic Les Paul Special double-cutaway shape. Reminiscent of Gibson's 1958 double-cut shift, this body is smooth and mobile in a Vintage Gloss lacquer finish.

Here, a one-piece long tenon mahogany neck joins in taking a speedier SlimTaper '60s "C" profile. Twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets accompany lined up along a rosewood fingerboard bearing a twelve-inch radius. The model's Mother of Pearl dot inlays solidify the authenticity of this model for an effortlessly cool and understated visual flourish.

Matching its speed, this Les Paul Special's body is backed by authentic Gibson heat through a pair of Gibson Custom, USA-made P-90 soapbar pickups. Bright, punchy, and with all the versatility you need to meet any musical moment, these P-90s play with the authentic punch you need out of a double-cut Les Paul Special like this one. The guitar's P-90s also feature the distinction of being hand-wired to CTS potentiometers and Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors for authentic vintage tones and varied tonal blending.

Lastly, this 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut features a hardware setup worth writing home about. The model's historic-style aluminum Wraparound bridge features intonation adjustment screws for a close connection to anchor strings. A playing experience both sturdy and fluid brings reliability to the whole instrument alongside a GraphTech nut and Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines with white buttons that meet at the Gibson-style "open book" headstock. An included Epiphone brown hardshell case travels with this Double Cut Reissue.

A Les Paul Special? Yeah, we'd say so too!
