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\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble cutaway mahogany body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-piece mahogany neck with a 60s SlimTaper profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood fretboard with mother of pearl dot inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSA-made P-90 soapbar pickups from Gibson Custom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGibson \"open book\" headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCTS potentiometers and bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrown\/pink hardshell case with Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Les Paul Double Cut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double Cut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-Ply Cream Fretboard Binding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage Gloss\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e One-Piece Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60s SlimTaper™\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Joint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glued-In Set Neck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304.8 mm \/ 12\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInlays:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mother-of-Pearl Dot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 628.65 mm \/ 24.75\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFret Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium Jumbo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Graph Tech\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43.0 mm \/ 1.69\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELECTRONICS\u003cbr\u003eNeck Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gibson Custom USA P-90 Soapbar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gibson Custom USA P-90 Soapbar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 Volume, 2 Tone;
