Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut in excellent condition
Plays beautifully. This one is in TV yellow and has excellent mahogany grain that is aesthetically pleasing as well as providing excellent tone. Includes the equally impressive Epiphone case and all of the stickers and stuff that comes with a new guitar. Still has the protective covering over the pickguard. This very nice example from a private collection was set up when first purchased. Since then, it has seen very little playing time. The Gibson USA P90 pickups are every bit as advertised - sweet when clean and mean when driven! High-quality pickups & electronics and attention to detail make this Epiphone feel closer to playing an American Gibson for a fraction of the price.
Absolutely no issues with this one! Looks great! Plays great!
Includes: Epiphone IGC Les Paul Special DC guitar and Epiphone Hardshell Case
Here's some info from the manufacturer:
Epiphone, in partnership with Gibson Custom, is proud to introduce the 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue, an Inspired by Gibson Custom recreation of the sought-after 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut. Like the originals, it features a slab mahogany body with double cutaways that provide excellent access to the entire length of the fretboard. The one-piece mahogany neck has a fast-playing 60s SlimTaper profile and is capped with a rosewood fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and mother-of-pearl dot position marker inlays. The fretboard has a 12” radius that makes playing first-position chords and solos with string bends further up the neck equally effortless. The Gibson “open book” style headstock is equipped with Epiphone Deluxe three-on-a-plate tuners with white buttons and a Graph Tech® nut help to keep the tuning nice and stable, while a historic style Wraparound bridge with intonation screws solidly anchors the strings at the other end and contributes to the excellent sustain that the Les Paul Special is famous for.
A pair of USA-made P-90 Soapbar pickups from Gibson Custom that can go from sweet and clean to outright nasty and dirty sounding are hand-wired to individual volume and tone controls with high-quality CTS® potentiometers and Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors for authentic vintage tones that are sure to please even the most tone-conscious players. The 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue comes packaged in a vintage-style case with a brown exterior and pink plush interior that features Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics on the exterior. It all comes together to deliver a vintage playing and ownership experience at an accessible price that is Special in every way.
