OHSC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Gibson Les Paul™ Special was first introduced as a single cutaway model in 1955, and with the exception of the sunburst Standards that were produced from 1958-1960, it was the last of the original 50s-era Les Paul model variants to be introduced. 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\u003eGeneral    \u003cbr\u003eModel:    1960 Les Paul Special\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Strings:    6\u003cbr\u003eLeft-\/Right-handed:    Right-handed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody    \u003cbr\u003eBody Type:    Solidbody\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape:    Les Paul Special\u003cbr\u003eBody Material:    Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish:    Polyurethane\u003cbr\u003eColor:    Vintage Cherry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck    \u003cbr\u003eNeck Material:    Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape:    60s Slim Taper\u003cbr\u003eNeck Joint:    Set Neck\u003cbr\u003eRadius:    12\"\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material:    Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay:    Mother-of-Pearl Dots\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets:    22\u003cbr\u003eScale Length:    24.75\"\u003cbr\u003eNut Width:    1.69\"\u003cbr\u003eNut Material:    Graph Tech\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware    \u003cbr\u003eBridge\/Tailpiece:    Lightning Bar Wraparound\u003cbr\u003eTuners:    Epiphone Deluxe Button\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eNeck Pickup:    Gibson USA P-90\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eBridge Pickup:    Gibson USA P-90\u003cbr\u003eControls:    2 x Volume, 2 x Tone\u003cbr\u003eSwitching:    3-position toggle switch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMiscellaneous    \u003cbr\u003eStrings:    10-46\u003cbr\u003eCase\/Gig Bag:    Hardshell Case\u003cbr\u003eManufacturer Part Number:    ECLSR0TYNH1\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerial : 26071523103\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Epiphone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48712780513497,"sku":null,"price":999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/5669\/8329\/files\/Gear-731.jpg?v=1793947948","url":"https:\/\/malibumusic.com\/products\/epiphone-inspired-by-gibson-custom-1960-les-paul-special-double-cutaway-vintage-cherry-incl-ohsc","provider":"Malibu Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
