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\u003cp\u003eDouble cutaway mahogany body\u003cbr\u003eOne-piece mahogany neck with a 60s SlimTaper profile\u003cbr\u003eRosewood fretboard with mother of pearl dot inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets\u003cbr\u003eUSA-made P-90 soapbar pickups from Gibson Custom\u003cbr\u003eGibson \"open book\" headstock\u003cbr\u003eCTS potentiometers and bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors\u003cbr\u003eBrown\/pink hardshell case with Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 name=\"Guitar Specifications\"\u003eGuitar Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Body Specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBody Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Binding\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003eSingle-ply Cream, Fretboard\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Body Finish\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eVintage Gloss\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Body Material\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Material: \u003c\/b\u003eMahogany\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Body Shape\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Shape: \u003c\/b\u003eLes Paul Double Cut\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Body Styles\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Styles: \u003c\/b\u003eDouble Cut\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Neck Specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eNeck Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Fingerboard Material\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Material: \u003c\/b\u003eRosewood\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Fingerboard Radius\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius: \u003c\/b\u003e304.8mm \/ 12.0in\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Fret Count\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFret Count: \u003c\/b\u003e22\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Frets\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFrets: \u003c\/b\u003eMedium Jumbo\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Inlays\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInlays: \u003c\/b\u003eMother of Pearl Dot\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Joint\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJoint: \u003c\/b\u003eGlued In, Set Neck\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Neck Material\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Material: \u003c\/b\u003eOne Piece Mahogany\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Nut Material\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNut Material: \u003c\/b\u003eGraph Tech\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Nut Width\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNut Width: \u003c\/b\u003e43.0mm \/ 1.69in\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Profile\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProfile: \u003c\/b\u003e60s SlimTaper™\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Scale Length\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eScale Length: \u003c\/b\u003e628.65mm \/ 24.75in\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Electronics Specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eElectronics Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Bridge Pickup\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBridge Pickup: \u003c\/b\u003eGibson Custom USA P-90 Soapbar\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Controls\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eControls: \u003c\/b\u003e2 Volume, 2 Tone;
