An enhanced version of the Les Paul Junior with increased sonic flexibility, it featured two P-90 pickups instead of the single P-90 found on the Junior and also added a bit of extra bling in the form of a bound fretboard and a mother-of-pearl headstock logo. In 1958, the body shape was revised from a single cutaway to a double cutaway, which delivered improved fretboard access, and the Special hit its stride in 1960 when a thinner SlimTaper neck profile and a lower neck pickup placement made it more robust and easier to play than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, Epiphone, in partnership with Gibson Custom, is proud to introduce the 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue, an Inspired by Gibson Custom recreation of the sought-after 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut. Like the originals, it features a slab mahogany body with double cutaways that provide excellent access to the entire length of the fretboard. The one-piece mahogany neck has a fast-playing 60s SlimTaper profile and is capped with a rosewood fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and mother-of-pearl dot position marker inlays. The fretboard has a 12” radius that makes playing first-position chords and solos with string bends further up the neck equally effortless. The Gibson “open book” style headstock is equipped with Epiphone Deluxe three-on-a-plate tuners with white buttons and a Graph Tech nut help to keep the tuning nice and stable, while a historic style Wraparound bridge with intonation screws solidly anchors the strings at the other end and contributes to the excellent sustain that the Les Paul Special is famous for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pair of USA-made P-90 Soapbar pickups from Gibson Custom that can go from sweet and clean to outright nasty and dirty sounding are hand-wired to individual volume and tone controls with high-quality CTS potentiometers and Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors for authentic vintage tones that are sure to please even the most tone-conscious players. The 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue comes packaged in a vintage-style case with a brown exterior and pink plush interior that features Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics on the exterior. It all comes together to deliver a vintage playing and ownership experience at an accessible price that is Special in every way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"webtext-block--colcount\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReissue of an iconic Gibson design built by Epiphone with Gibson Custom Shop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGibson open-book headstock for accurate design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid mahogany body and neck for playability and tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBound rosewood fretboard is smooth and fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGibson USA wax-potted, high-output P-90 pickups are suitable for a variety of genres and styles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLuxe Bumblebee capacitors create warmth and clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Metz Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53618181243153,"sku":null,"price":999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/0273\/9729\/files\/ECLSR0TYNH1_2_Front.webp?v=1780496350","url":"https:\/\/metzmusic.com\/products\/epiphone-inspired-by-gibson-custom-1960-les-paul-special-double-cut-reissue-w-case-tv-yellow","provider":"Metz Music ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
