Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Special Double Cut Figured Maple Top VOS Electric Guitar, Rosewood Fingerboard, Cobra Burst
What if you took the sought-after style and features of Gibson's "student-level" double cuts of the '50s and '60s and rebuilt them into a premium Custom Shop instrument? You might end up with something that resembles the Gibson Custom Les Paul Special Double Cut Figured Top. Choice electronics — Custombucker Alnico III PAF pickups fed into high-grade CTS pots — equip this guitar for classic blues to red-blooded rock 'n' roll. Tastefully aged nickel hardware adorn a beautifully figured maple-capped bound mahogany body and rosewood-clad Slim Taper mahogany neck in this one-of-a-kind double cut, made all the more irresistible by a paper-thin VOS aged nitrocellulose finish. Top Hat knobs, kidney-style Grover tuners, and an ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge give the Les Paul Special Double Cut Figured Top flair and performance in all the right places.
