Detailed replica of the Les Paul Special Double Cut from 1960
With the Gibson 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue VOS TV Yellow, the Gibson Custom Shop is sending an authentic replica of a Les Paul Special from 1960 into the race, which has become a sought-after collector's item among rock and blues musicians due to its excellent playing and sound characteristics. The straightforward Custom Shop guitar is naturally built from rich-sounding mahogany using historically documented production methods and delivers lively clean and overdrive sounds with two P-90 single coils. Last but not least, traditional add-on parts in the form of a wraparound bridge and precise Kluson strip tuners complete the 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue VOS TV Yellow electric guitar from Gibson.
Authentic replica of a '60s LP Special: The Gibson 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue VOS TV Yellow is built in the Custom Shop using traditional manufacturing techniques.
The comfortably playable mahogany neck of the Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue comes with a "SlimTaper" profile and long neck foot.
Traditional construction
Beneath the "TV Yellow" nitrocellulose finish, which ensured good visibility of the electric guitar during TV broadcasts in the days of black and white television, the 1960 Les Paul Special Reissue guitar conceals a traditional construction. A solid mahogany body and the mahogany neck glued with a long neck heel create the basis for a dynamically responsive and powerful sound. Wide cutaways, which almost completely expose the neck, and the slim "'60s SlimTaper" profile also promise first-class playing characteristics on the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard.
Single-coil P-90 pickups and hand-wired electrics with oil-paper capacitors promise authentic vintage sounds between blues and rock.
P-90 pickups and hand-wired electrics
For the electric sound conversion of the 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue, the GibsonCustom naturally uses two P-90 single coil pickups. The single-coil pickups, wound according to historical specifications in the Custom store, deliver authentic vintage tones with a fat mid-range spectrum and lively dynamics on the guitar amplifier, which are ideally suited to the traditional styles of Blues and rock. Gibson relies on a hand-wired circuit with pickup switches from Switchcraft, separate volume and tone pots for each pickup and authentic paper-in-oil capacitors for particularly harmonious Treble roll-offs to precisely adjust the sound of the electric guitar.
Kluson strip tuners with white buttons keep the Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue securely in tune.
Historically correct hardware
Historically correct hardware completes the 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue VOS TV Yellow from Gibson. The bridge is the classic, one-piece wraparound bridge, which contributes significantly to the lively character of the electric guitar thanks to its special construction and is equipped with two set screws for adjusting the intonation. At the headstock, a nylon saddle connects the strings to the tried-and-tested Kluson Strip tuners with white wings, which guarantee precise tuning of the guitar.
