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\u003ch2\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h2\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","brand":"Epiphone","offers":[{"title":"Cherry","offer_id":44342342910132,"sku":"107368","price":2199.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"TV White","offer_id":44342342942900,"sku":"107369","price":2199.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3537\/2980\/files\/EpiphoneIGC1960LPSpecialDCCherry.jpg?v=1786596961","url":"https:\/\/www.turramusic.com.au\/products\/epiphone-inspired-by-gibson-custom-1960-les-paul-special-double-cut","provider":"Turramurra Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
