The Gibson 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut is a successful replica of the iconic guitar model of the early sixties. Designed from a mahogany body with a glued mahogany neck in the historically correct 1960 Slim Taper profile, the double-cut design from the Gibson Custom Shop is handcrafted to offer the look, feel and sound of the famous model and relies on two GibsonCustomP-90 pickups in a soapbar design.
