Comfort and playability were two of Gibson's primary concerns when they were designing this 2015 Les Paul Special Double Cutaway solidbody electric guitar. This guitar's neck and fretboard are .050" wider on each side, making bends and vibrato much easier on its outer strings. Speaking of this Les Paul Standards's silky-smooth fretboard, it's now sanded and buffed to perfection with an all-new oil treatment, making it easy for you to display your fast fretwork. Also, Gibson's new patent-pending Zero Fret Nut can be easily adjusted with a hex key if your action is too high - no filing necessary. The Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cutaway plays better than ever, thanks to a new PLEK process and a new lower fret wire.
