Product overview
About this model
Rooted in one of the most influential designs of the late 1950s, the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut electric guitar delivers vintage tone, premium craftsmanship and exceptional playability in a faithful recreation of a beloved classic. Built with a solid mahogany double-cutaway body, a one-piece mahogany neck with a fast-playing 60s SlimTaper profile and a pair of Gibson Custom USA P-90 Soapbar pickups, this guitar captures the raw character and versatility that made the original model so popular. Hand-wired electronics featuring CTS potentiometers and Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors ensure authentic vintage-inspired response, while premium hardware and construction details elevate the overall playing experience. Available in multiple finishes, the Inspired by Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut offers the look, feel and sound of a highly sought-after vintage instrument at an accessible price. Double-Cut Mahogany Construction With Vintage Character The solid mahogany slab body serves as the tonal foundation of this Les Paul Special recreation, delivering the punchy midrange, warmth and immediacy that helped define countless recordings throughout the rock, blues and early electric guitar eras. Unlike carved-top Les Paul models, the slab-body design emphasizes directness and responsiveness, producing a lively voice that reacts quickly to picking dynamics and volume adjustments. Equally important, the double-cutaway design introduced improved upper-fret access, allowing players to navigate higher registers with greater ease while preserving the straightforward character that made the Les Paul Special a favorite among working musicians. 1960 SlimTaper Neck Promotes Effortless Playability One of the defining updates of the 1960 model year was the introduction of a slimmer neck profile, and this reissue captures that feel with a one-piece mahogany neck carved to a comfortable 60s SlimTaper profile. The reduced depth makes complex chord work, fast lead passages and extended playing sessions feel natural without sacrificing stability. Paired with a bound rosewood fingerboard, 22 medium jumbo frets and a 12" radius, the neck provides a familiar balance of comfort and precision. Mother-of-pearl dot inlays and cream binding complete the classic appearance while reinforcing the guitar's vintage-inspired presentation. Custom USA P-90s Deliver Dynamic Single-Coil Tone A pair of Gibson Custom USA P-90 Soapbar pickups gives this instrument the distinctive voice that has made P-90-equipped guitars enduring favorites for decades. Positioned between traditional single coils and humbuckers in both output and character, P-90s deliver articulate highs, muscular midrange punch and impressive touch sensitivity. Players can move from shimmering cleans to gritty overdrive simply by adjusting pick attack and guitar volume. Supporting the pickups are hand-wired CTS potentiometers and Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors, components chosen to preserve the responsive control interaction and tonal nuance associated with vintage Gibson electronics. Historic Hardware Supports Stable Performance Period-correct hardware contributes significantly to both the feel and functionality of the instrument. A historic-style aluminum wraparound bridge with intonation adjustment screws enhances resonance while providing reliable intonation across the fretboard. Nickel-plated hardware preserves the understated appearance associated with original examples, while Epiphone Deluxe three-on-a-plate tuners with white buttons maintain dependable tuning stability. A Graph Tech nut further supports smooth tuning operation, helping the guitar perform consistently whether on stage, in the studio or during daily practice sessions. Inspired by Gibson Custom Collaboration Developed in collaboration with Gibson Custom, this model recreates the specifications, feel and personality of a landmark electric guitar that continues to influence players more than six decades after its introduction. From its slab mahogany construction and USA P-90 pickups to its hand-wired electronics and historically informed hardware, every detail reflects a commitment to authenticity. The included vintage-style brown hardshell case with pink interior and Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics completes the presentation while providing dependable protection. For players seeking vintage-inspired tone, exceptional responsiveness and the unmistakable character of a classic double-cutaway design, the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut electric guitar delivers a remarkably faithful recreation of a timeless favorite.
