Custom Shop guitar with design elements of the '59 Les Paul Standard and the '60 Les Paul Special.

With the Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cut Figured Top Cobra Burst the Gibson Custom Shop sends a successful electric guitar into the race, which combines classic design elements of the coveted "'59 'Burst" Les Pauls with the agile handling of the popular LP Special Student Guitar from the beginning of the sixties. While a figured maple top provides dignified Vintage-Looks, a "slim taper" neck and doublecut styling promise top-notch playing characteristics. Gibson Custombuckers with Alnico III magnets also elicit authentic PAF tones for tradition-conscious blues and rock sounds. Last but not least, functional Vintage-Style Hardware in the form of Grover Rotomatic tuners and the Ted McCarty-invented pairing of ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece completes the Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Special Double Cut Figured Top Cobra Burst electric guitar.

Proven manufacturing methods and agile handling

For the construction of the Les Paul Special Double Cut Figured the Gibson Custom Shop uses the proven manufacturing methods of the Fifties to achieve a lively sound with a distinct vintage character. The two Cutaways mahogany body carries a two-piece figured maple top with fine grain, while the mahogany neck is glued to the sustain-enhancing long neck base, known among burst enthusiasts as Long Neck Tenon. The slim "'60s SlimTaper" neck profile also promises buttery smooth playing characteristics all the way to the highest registers of the 22-fret Indian rosewood fingerboard.

Custombucker pickups with hand-wired circuitry.

Featuring Alnico III magnets and non-waxed coils, the pickups evoke the sonic character of the legendary PAF humbuckers at the guitar amplifier, and achieve traditional blues and rock sounds with warm singing midrange and lively dynamics. A hand-wired circuit with high-quality components in the form of a Switchcraft toggle switch and separate volume and tone pots from CTS for each of the pickups also allows precise adjustment of the timbre.
