Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue Electric Guitar, TV White

Always in vogue, enter the Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue. Throwing it over to Gibson's golden 1950s, a very fruitful time for electric guitar design, the Les Paul Special first debuted as a single-cutaway model in 1955 with P-90 single-coil pickups. This enhanced version of the student-grade Les Paul Junior model made a name for itself as the Les Paul Special Double-Cut for generations to follow. Today, we've got this Epiphone "Inspired by Gibson Custom Shop" model.

The Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue enters as part of Epiphone's "Inspired by Gibson Custom" series with a set of authentic, vintage-inspired specifications sure to make the hearts of Special fans flutter. This kicks off with a solid mahogany body with the iconic Special double-cutaway shape. Throwing it back to the 1958 shift to a double-cutaway form, this body is sleek and mobile decked in a Vintage Gloss lacquer finish.

At this point, a one-piece long tenon mahogany neck joins in assuming Gibson's faster SlimTaper 60s "C" profile. Twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets join in lined along a rosewood fingerboard featuring a twelve-inch radius. Mother of Pearl dot inlays solidify the authenticity of this model for an exceptionally cool, stylish, and playable model.

Matching its speed, this Les Paul Special's body is met with kick and heat from a pair of Gibson Custom USA-made P-90 soapbar pickups. Punchy, bright, and with plenty of versatility to match any moment, these P-90s play with the authentic punch you'd want out of a double-cut Les Paul Special like this one. The guitar's P-90s additionally hold the distinction of being hand-wired to CTS potentiometers and Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors for authentic vintage tones and varied tonal mixing.

Finally, the hardware setup on this 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut gives you plenty to write home about. A historic-style aluminum Wraparound bridge with intonation adjustment screws appears for solidly anchoring strings. A playing experience both sturdy and fluid brings reliability to the whole instrument. A GraphTech nut and Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines with white buttons meet past the Gibson-style "open book" headstock for easy stringing. An included Epiphone brown hardshell case travels with this Double Cut Reissue.
