Introduced in 1955 as a single-cutaway model, the Gibson Les Paul™ Special was the last of the original 1950s Les Paul variations to debut, aside from the sunburst Standards produced between 1958 and 1960. Designed as an upgraded Les Paul Junior, it offered greater tonal versatility with two P-90 pickups instead of one, along with refined touches like a bound fingerboard and a mother-of-pearl headstock logo. In 1958, the design evolved into a double-cutaway body for improved upper-fret access, and by 1960, the addition of a SlimTaper™ neck profile and repositioned neck pickup made it more comfortable and playable than ever.
Now, Epiphone, in collaboration with Gibson Custom, proudly unveils the 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue—an Inspired by Gibson Custom recreation of this highly sought-after classic. True to the original, it features a solid mahogany body with double cutaways for effortless access across the fretboard. The one-piece mahogany neck sports a fast-playing 60s SlimTaper profile and is topped with a rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and mother-of-pearl dot inlays.
Its 12" radius ensures smooth chord work and easy bends. The Gibson “open book” headstock includes Epiphone Deluxe three-on-a-plate tuners with white buttons and a Graph Tech® nut for rock-solid tuning stability, while a vintage-style Wraparound bridge with intonation screws anchors the strings and delivers the sustain that made the Special legendary. Tone comes courtesy of two USA-made Gibson Custom P-90 Soapbar pickups, capable of everything from warm cleans to gritty, aggressive drive.
They’re hand-wired to individual volume and tone controls using premium CTS® pots and Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors for authentic vintage response. Completing the package is a brown vintage-style case with pink plush lining and Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics, offering a true old-school experience at an accessible price. The 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue is available in TV Yellow, Cherry Red, and TV White, and is a faithful tribute to a guitar that remains, in every sense, truly special.
