Epiphone 'Inspired By Gibson' 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut (TV Yellow) Inc Hard Case

The legendary 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut returns in this meticulously crafted Epiphone reissue, bringing the raw power and distinctive character of one of Gibson's most sought-after vintage models to modern players. Originally introduced as a single cutaway in 1955, the Les Paul Special evolved into its iconic double cutaway form by 1958, reaching its peak in 1960 with the introduction of the SlimTaper™ neck profile and refined pickup positioning that made it more robust and playable than ever before.

This Inspired by Gibson Custom recreation faithfully captures the essence of the original with its slab mahogany body featuring double cutaways that provide exceptional access across the entire fretboard. The one-piece mahogany neck sports the fast-playing 60s SlimTaper profile, topped with a rosewood fretboard that features 22 medium jumbo frets, mother-of-pearl dot inlays, and a comfortable 12" radius that makes both first-position chords and high-register string bends equally effortless.

At the heart of this instrument lies a pair of USA-made P-90 Soapbar pickups from Gibson Custom, hand-wired to individual volume and tone controls using premium CTS® potentiometers and authentic Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors. These legendary pickups can shift from sweet, crystalline clean tones to gloriously gritty overdrive, while the historic-style Wraparound bridge with intonation screws provides the solid string anchoring and sustain that made the Les Paul Special famous. Complete with Epiphone Deluxe tuners, Graph Tech® nut, and a vintage-style case featuring brown exterior and pink plush interior, this reissue offers an authentic vintage playing experience at an accessible price point.
