The Original Gibson Double Cut Is Back!

Epiphone has once again partnered with Gibson Custom to offer players access to historic guitars, and the 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue is as iconic as it gets. In 1958, Gibson modified the Les Paul Special, adding a second cutaway to improve playability and fret access. Sporting several premium appointments, including a Gibson open-book headstock, Gibson USA pickups, and historically accurate design cues, the Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue brings the original instrument's legendary look, sound, and playability. This reissued classic offers you the perfect combination of Gibson design and Epiphone quality, with its sleek, solidbody mahogany design, fast SlimTaper neck, and period-accurate capacitors. Whether you’re a touring professional or just getting started, the 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue is your ticket to the tones that inspired generations.

A classic reborn

Designed for unparalleled access to the upper frets, the 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut laid a foundation for future designs, becoming a legend. Epiphone held nothing back when re-engineering this guitar, re-creating the lightweight, solid mahogany body and flat-top design in close collaboration with Gibson Custom Shop. As a result, the 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue is the perfect combination of historic accuracy and playability, making it instantly popular with guitarists and collectors. The classic rosewood fretboard is bound, helping avoid sharp edges while adding vintage appeal with a SlimTaper neck for speed and comfort. Complete with a black Gibson-style headstock, the 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue successfully embodies the charm of the original.

Historic soapbar tone

Introduced in the early ’50s, Gibson’s legendary single-coil pickup was raw and powerful, defining the formative years of rock ’n’ roll. The Gibson USA P-90 pickups in the 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue faithfully capture that high-output sensitivity and vintage sensibility, with the addition of wax potting to eliminate unwanted feedback. Move to the circuit, and there's even more to love, with Epiphone’s spec-for-spec re-creation of the original bumblebee capacitors used in early Gibsons, creating a subtle but noticeable warmth and clarity. Suited for every style and genre, from mellow jazz riffs to fuzzy blues and grunge, these P-90 pickups perfectly capture the sound of an era in the 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue.

Vintage charm, modern appeal

Epiphone worked closely with Gibson Custom Shop on the 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue, outfitting this guitar with historically sound features meant to emulate the original while retaining a few player-centric modern upgrades. Up top, Epiphone’s Deluxe tuners are accented with keystone buttons, lending the guitar modern tuning stability and a vintage aesthetic. On the body, a locking Lightning Bar wraparound tailpiece keeps your bridge in place during string changes for easy setup and adjustment. All together, the authentic design and modern upgrades make the 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue equally suited to the stage, studio, or a collector’s wall.
