Gibson Custom Shop Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue VOS Faded Cherry #04579 is an electric guitar from Gibson Custom Shop.

Description

The Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue VOS in Faded Cherry captures a pivotal year in the Les Paul Specials evolution. By 1960 the model had been refined with a slimmer neck profile and repositioned bridge pickup improving both comfort and tonal balance. This Custom Shop reissue recreates those specifications with meticulous accuracy offering the same punch clarity and versatility that made the originals so popular. Built from a solid slab of mahogany and finished in thin nitrocellulose lacquer it resonates with rich sustain and a woody midrange presence. A pair of P-90 pickups provide the signature Special tone — chimey and articulate when clean raw and gritty when pushed. This is a faithful tribute to a no-nonsense workhorse thats been in the hands of countless working musicians for over six decades.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.
