Les Paul Special Double Cutaway Vintage Cherry
The
Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cutaway is a guitar born in the 1950s that has remained relevant through the decades. Designed as a more versatile version of the Les Paul Junior, it retains the essentials: a solid mahogany body, simple and effective construction, and uncompromising sound. Equipped with two P-90 pickups, it expands the sonic palette of the original while staying true to the spirit of Gibson’s "Golden Era".
A direct and dynamic sound palette
Thanks to its two
P-90 pickups, this guitar delivers a punchy sound, rich in midrange and highly responsive. Separate volume and tone controls, combined with the 3-way toggle switch, allow easy transitions from bright, snappy tones to thicker, saturated textures—ideal for blues, rock, or more energetic styles.
An instrument for passionate players
The Les Paul Special Double Cutaway is designed for
demanding musicians, whether progressing or already experienced. With its double cutaway, it offers smooth access to all frets, including the highest ones, making it perfect for expressive solos and lead parts.
A clean and efficient design
Built in Gibson tradition with a slab-style mahogany body and a robust 50s-style neck profile, this guitar ensures excellent durability and natural playing comfort. The rosewood fretboard, enhanced with binding and simple dot inlays, adds discreet elegance. The double cutaway improves playability and balance.
Robustness and classic style
The wraparound bridge contributes to natural sustain and great stability, while vintage-style tuners ensure reliable tuning. The iconic finishes
TV Yellow, Vintage Cherry, and Ebony highlight the timeless character of this model, combining authenticity and efficiency both on stage and in the studio.
