Gibson Custom Shop '60 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue – Cherry Red VOS
Some guitars don't need flame maple, binding, or gold hardware to make a statement. They just need to be built right.
The Les Paul Special Double Cut has always been the working musician's Gibson—lighter on frills, heavier on attitude. And when the Gibson Custom Shop takes on the '60 reissue, you get everything that made the originals legendary, but with the precision and consistency of a modern Custom Shop build.
Finished in Cherry Red VOS, this one absolutely nails the vintage vibe. The translucent nitro lets the mahogany grain subtly show through, giving the finish depth and character rather than a flat, opaque red. Over time these guitars develop a personality all their own, and this one already has the kind of honest play wear that collectors appreciate. Nothing abused, no major bumps or bruises—just the signs of a guitar that's been enjoyed the way it was meant to be.
The lightweight all-mahogany construction delivers that unmistakable midrange punch these Specials are famous for, while the pair of Custom Shop P-90s cover an incredible amount of ground. Clean tones are articulate, woody, and chimey. Roll up the gain and they bark with the raw, dynamic aggression that has made P-90-equipped Gibsons favorites of everyone from classic rock players to modern indie artists. They're incredibly responsive to your picking hand and volume controls, rewarding players who like to work the guitar instead of relying on pedals.
The slim '60 neck profile feels fast without sacrificing substance, making long sessions comfortable while still retaining that unmistakable Gibson feel. Combined with the wraparound bridge and resonant mahogany body, this is one of those guitars that feels alive in your hands before you even plug it in.
This example is in very good condition with honest cosmetic wear throughout, but no major dings, cracks, or structural issues. It includes the original hardshell case and Gibson Custom Shop Certificate of Authenticity.
Like the best vintage Specials, this isn't a guitar that hides behind fancy appointments. It's built to be played, and every note reminds you why the Les Paul Special remains one of Gibson's greatest designs.
As with all of our instruments, this guitar has been thoroughly inspected and tested to ensure everything functions exactly as it should. It will arrive ready to play, though a minor setup may be desired to accommodate your personal preferences or changes in climate during shipping.
