Gibson Custom Les Paul Special Double Cut Figured Top VOS, Cobra Burst Overview
What would happen if you were to cross a 1960 Double Cut Les Paul Special with it's bigger humbucker equipped brother from 1959? A Custom Les Paul Special Double Cut Figured Top is the most likely answer.. And here it is!
Featuring a figured Maple top, body binding, Alnico III Custombucker pickups, and an ABR-1 bridge and stop bar setup, this premium Custom Shop guitar does not compromise on specification, playability, or tone.
High-grade CTS pots, an ABR-1 bridge, aged nickel hardware, thin nitro Cobra Burst finish, and a rosewood fingerboard over a 1960s style Slim Taper Mahogany neck add to the irrestible nature of this unique double-cut Gibson.
Vintage style with Gibson's Custom Shop finesse and tone...
What Gibson say:
Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail.
Custom Shop is proud to present the Les Paul Special Double Cut Figured Top -- a mash up of several circa-1959 vintage Gibson models that looks, feels, and plays like a golden-era classic. We took a 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut and added a figured maple top, body binding, Custombuckers, and an ABR-1 bridge and stop bar setup. The result is a stunning, retro-mod beauty that plays and sounds like the best of all worlds. Available in three distinct colours with more possible through Made 2 Measure custom orders.
