Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Special Reissue Cherry Red

Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue With Gibson Custom P-90s!

The Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue combines classic double-cut design, immediate response and authentic P-90 tone into an electric guitar that feels at home on stage, in the studio and in the rehearsal room.

Historically Inspired Double-Cut Concept

The Les Paul Special ranks among the characterful classics of the 1950s and was conceived as a more versatile evolution of the Les Paul Junior. This reissue adopts the double-cutaway design to make upper-fret access noticeably easier and to give the guitar its distinctive silhouette. The solid mahogany body delivers a resonant, focused foundation with powerful midrange, clear attack and the sustain that has defined this model for decades.

Fast Neck With Classic Feel

The one-piece mahogany neck sports a SlimTaper 60s C profile and joins the body with a long neck tenon. That direct neck-to-body contact enhances vibration transfer and gives the instrument a lively, cohesive playing feel. The rosewood fretboard with a 12" radius balances comfortable chord work and clean bends. 22 medium-jumbo frets and classic dot inlays complete the familiar vintage playing experience.

USA P-90 Sound With Direct Dynamics

Two Gibson Custom USA P-90 soapbar pickups deliver the signature Les Paul Special voice: open, wiry, mid-focused and dynamic. Clean tones come through transparent and lively, while driven sounds convince with beefy bite, clear definition and a cutting attack. The classic wiring with two volume and two tone controls plus a 3-way toggle lets you precisely dial in each pickup. That gives you warm rhythm tones, biting leads and gritty rock twang in equal measure.

Vintage Hardware For Stable Performance

The wraparound bridge anchors the strings directly and supports immediate response with solid sustain. Epiphone Deluxe tuners work together with the Graph Tech nut to provide reliable tuning stability. Nickel hardware, black plastic parts, black top hat knobs and soapbar pickups echo the classic aesthetic of the early double-cut Specials. A hardshell case is included for protected transport and safe storage.
