Gibson 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue Cherry Red inc Hardshell Case

The 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut represents the pinnacle of Gibson's evolution, marking the moment when this iconic guitar truly found its voice. Originally redesigned in 1958 with double cutaways for enhanced fingerboard access, the Special reached its full potential by 1960 when Gibson refined the lower pickup placement and introduced a slim neck taper that made it more robust and significantly easier to play.

Gibson Custom Shop has meticulously recreated these legendary instruments in both Cherry Red and TV Yellow finishes, producing complete structural and visual clones of the highly sought-after vintage originals. These 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissues capture not only the authentic appearance but also replicate the identical sound and playability that made the originals so coveted among musicians.

At the heart of these reissues lies a pair of fierce P-90 pickups that generate an impressive tonal range from sparkling clean tones through to crunchy distortion. This versatile Les Paul proves itself capable of handling any musical challenge you present, making it an exceptional choice for players seeking authentic vintage character with modern reliability.
