The Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue captures the unmistakable look and feel of one of Gibson’s most iconic 1960s guitars. With its slab mahogany body and symmetrical double cutaway design, it offers a vintage aesthetic that’s both understated and distinctive. The bound rosewood fretboard with mother-of-pearl dot inlays adds a touch of class, while the historic Gibson “open book” headstock shape reinforces its roots in vintage guitar heritage. Every detail, from the cream fretboard binding to the vintage-style tuners, contributes to an instrument that feels like a true piece of guitar history.
One of the standout features of this model is its pair of Gibson Custom USA P-90 Soapbar pickups. Known for their dynamic response and tonal versatility, these pickups deliver a sound that sits perfectly between the crisp clarity of single-coils and the warmth of humbuckers. Clean tones sparkle with definition, and driven tones growl with classic bite. Hand-wired with CTS® potentiometers and Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors, the controls offer exceptional tonal nuance, making it easy to dial in a classic voice that stands out in any mix.
Comfort and playability take centre stage with a one-piece mahogany neck carved to a 60s SlimTaper™ profile. This shape is slim, fast, and comfortable in the hand, making it ideal for expressive lead work and fluid chord transitions. The 12" fretboard radius strikes the right balance between vintage feel and modern comfort, offering smooth bends and easy fretting across the board. Combined with medium jumbo frets and the double cutaway design, you get unhindered access to all 22 frets, encouraging confident playability across the full neck length.
From tuning stability to tonal integrity, the hardware on this guitar is designed to perform. The Epiphone Deluxe three-on-a-plate tuners with white buttons are a nod to the past but function with modern reliability. A Graph Tech® nut helps keep tuning steady even during heavy bends or intense playing sessions. At the other end, the historic-style wraparound bridge with intonation adjustment screws ensures solid contact and impressive sustain. This fixed bridge design enhances resonance and maintains a strong connection between the strings and body, delivering the powerful sustain Les Paul models are known for.
