Bridging the gap between Gibson’s stripped-down Junior model and their flagship Les Paul Standard. The Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cut offers players a no-nonsense workhorse electric guitar sprinkled with a selection of versatile features that help push this model to the next level, both sonically and visually.

The Special featured a duo of Soapbar P-90 pickups in combination with volume and tone controls for each pickup, as well as a 3-way selector switch, thus allowing players to fully explore the complete tonal spectrum offered on high-end Gibson models. Like the Junior model, the Special is built around a slab Mahogany body, which provides a balanced, well-rounded tone with singing sustain and the famed mid-range punch that all Mahogany Gibsons are famed for. Its full-access neck is elegantly bound for a classy aesthetic with unparalleled access up and down the fingerboard.

Mahogany Punch

All mahogany Gibson electric guitars, whether it’s a Junior, Special, SG, or even an early Les Paul Customs, do this magical thing that no other electric guitar seems to be able to do. It’s a specific punch and bark in the mid-range frequencies, the way the mahogany resonates with every strum that punches through any mix like nothing else. It’s a bit of a tonal secret weapon that’s used by countless professional guitarists both live and in the studio.

Made in the USA

The Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cut is proudly crafted in the USA using the best tonewoods, hardware, electronics and pickups and expertly finished with nitrocellulose lacquer to optimise tone and vibration transfer and to allow the guitar to breathe and resonate how it naturally should. This double-cut tone machine comes partnered with a Gibson hardshell case for superb protection on the road and even when stored away at home.

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.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.
