Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue Pelham Blue

Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue - Vintage Rock-Tone with Gibson Custom P-90s & Pelham Blue finish

With the 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Pelham Blue, Epiphone revives a classic in collaboration with Gibson, capturing the pure vintage spirit of the 1960s. Originally an extension of the Les Paul Junior, the Les Paul Special first appeared in 1955 as a single-cut model, featuring two powerful yet dynamic P-90 pickups. In 1960, the Special was released as a double-cut version with enhanced features: the double cutaway improved access to higher frets, while the narrow slim-taper neck profile and the second P-90 in the neck position with slightly different output enriched both playability and tonal versatility.

This new reissue model faithfully reflects the 1960s original. The body and neck are crafted from solid mahogany, while the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard ensures comfort for executing crisp licks and demanding leads. The narrow 60s slim-taper neck profile further enhances playability. The iconic Les Paul Special tone comes from the two Gibson Custom USA P-90 Soapbar pickups. Loosely wound for a transparent, dynamic sound, they deliver brilliant highs and crisp mids. Intonation and string action remain stable thanks to the Historic Aluminum Wraparound Bridge and Epiphone Deluxe tuners, ensuring long-term reliability. The 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue Pelham Blue also includes a matching hardshell case for safe transport.
