- Extremely appealing tone and playability
- Dual P-90 pickups for definitively rockin' tone
- Gibson Custom's commitment to quality makes this guitar a true performer
Reminiscent of the Les Paul Junior, the 1960 Les Paul Special Single Cut VOS has extreme appeal. Pair it with the comfortable '60s SlimTaper neck (a 1-piece mahogany neck, by the way) and you've got an axe that invites you to rip up and down the fingerboard with your own assault of licks and riffs.
Dual P-90 pickups for definitively rockin' toneThe duet of P-90 pickups make the perfect match to the 1960 Les Paul Special Single Cut VOS's straight-up rich, thick mahogany voice. They add just the right amount of bite and growl, keeping the clarity in your attack without sounding shrill or muddy. Perfection. This guitar loves tube amps, too. Crank your amp up, lay into a chord, and hear the big tone you get as you feel the axe resonating in your hands and across your chest. The bottom line? This is a guitarist's guitar; it's not meant to be hung on a wall or left in a case.
Gibson Custom's commitment to quality makes this guitar a true performerGibson's Custom Shop took extra care with every detail of the 1960 Les Paul Special Single Cut VOS. Every Gibson Custom guitar receives an ultra-precise Plek Pro setup that optimizes the fretboard and nut for incredibly accurate intonation and a just-right feel. Little touches like the long neck tenon (for enhanced sustain and tone) and the 17-degree headstock angle not only add to the amazing tone and feel, but they also remain true to the 1960 Les Paul, as well as Gibson's history.
