The Special featured a duo of Soapbar P-90 pickups in combination with volume and tone controls for each pickup, as well as a 3-way selector switch, thus allowing players to fully explore the complete tonal spectrum offered on high-end Gibson models. Like the Junior model, the Special is built around a slab Mahogany body, which provides a balanced, well-rounded tone with singing sustain and the famed mid-range punch that all Mahogany Gibsons are famed for. Its full-access neck is elegantly bound for a classy aesthetic with unparalleled access up and down the fingerboard.
All mahogany Gibson electric guitars, whether it’s a Junior, Special, SG, or even an early Les Paul Customs, do this magical thing that no other electric guitar seems to be able to do. It’s a specific punch and bark in the mid-range frequencies, the way the mahogany resonates with every strum that punches through any mix like nothing else. It’s a bit of a tonal secret weapon that’s used by countless professional guitarists both live and in the studio.
The Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cut is proudly crafted in the USA using the best tonewoods, hardware, electronics and pickups and expertly finished with nitrocellulose lacquer to optimise tone and vibration transfer and to allow the guitar to breathe and resonate how it naturally should. This double-cut tone machine comes partnered with a Gibson hardshell case for superb protection on the road and even when stored away at home.
Bridging the gap between Gibson's stripped-down Junior model and their flagship Les Paul Standard. The Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cut offers players a no-nonsense workhorse electric guitar sprinkled with a selection of versatile features that help push this model to the next level, both sonically and visually.
