A Double-cut Les Paul with P-90s
The Gibson Custom Les Paul Special Double Cut solidbody electric guitar was originally introduced in 1958 and is still a rock 'n' roll staple today. With its streamlined and lightweight mahogany body and neck, you'll find this Les Paul Special easy to pick up and play (but not so easy to put down). For tonal delivery, there are two P-90 single-coil pickups, which many players consider more versatile than humbuckers. Vintage-correct touches such as the handwired electronic harness (with Bumble Bee capacitors) deliver the eminent tone and playability you expect from the Gibson Custom Shop. Whether you're a collector, player, or both, there's a lot to love about the Gibson Custom Les Paul Special Double Cut.

Astounding tonal versatility from P-90 single-coil pickups
The Gibson Custom Les Paul Special Double Cut is fitted with two P-90 pickups. Gibson's first successful single-coil pickup, the P-90 can be heard on countless classic recordings. With its biting treble and high output, the P-90 cleans up nicely when you roll back your guitar's volume pot. And when you hit your amp hard, the P-90 really wails. Guitarists at Sweetwater agree it's an amazingly versatile pickup that's great for any style of music.
