Product Description

Vintage Vibe, Modern Edge

This isn’t your average Les Paul. This Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Special Double Cut is a masterclass in tone and style, blending vintage-inspired appointments with a look that’s all its own. The figured maple top, finished in a stunning Trans Black, lets every ripple of the wood grain shine through, creating a sense of depth that’s impossible to ignore. But the real surprise? That classy British Racing Green back—a unique touch that sets this instrument apart from the pack. It’s a player’s guitar, through and through, with a resonant soul and a voice that demands to be heard.

Custombucker Bite & Bloom

The heart of this guitar’s tone lies in its pair of Custombucker Alnico III pickups. These are Gibson’s most historically accurate PAF replicas, delivering the warmth, clarity, and nuanced response that made the originals legendary. From glassy cleans that chime with harmonic complexity to a gritty, articulate roar when you dig in, these pickups capture every detail of your playing. The VOS Nickel hardware and vintage-patina nitro finish aren’t just for looks—they contribute to an open, resonant character that feels like a perfectly broken-in classic from day one.

Unfettered Access & Flawless Playability

The double-cutaway design isn’t just about sharp looks; it’s about pure, unadulterated access to the upper frets. Combined with the fast and comfortable ’60s SlimTaper neck profile, this guitar is built for speed and effortless soloing. The solid mahogany body and neck, joined with a long tenon, provide the sustain that Les Pauls are famous for, while the Indian Rosewood fingerboard feels slick and buttery under your fingertips. It’s a perfectly balanced recipe for expressive playing, whether you’re laying down complex chords or soaring through lead lines.

Anatomy of a Tone Machine

Anatomy of a Tone Machine

Perfect for: Rock • Blues • Indie • Garage Rock

Tone

  • Bridge pickup delivers classic PAF bite with a rich, airy top end and a tight low-end punch.
  • Neck pickup is warm, vocal, and exceptionally clear—perfect for smooth leads and full-bodied chords.
  • The middle position offers a scooped, chimey 'quack' that's fantastic for funky rhythms and clean arpeggios.
  • Responds beautifully to your pick attack, cleaning up with a lighter touch and snarling when you dig in.

Playing Feel

  • The double-cutaway design provides excellent balance and an uninhibited feel.
  • The '60s SlimTaper neck is fast and comfortable, ideal for both chording and single-note runs.
  • The VOS nitro finish has a smooth, slightly worn-in feel that's never sticky.
  • Feels solid and resonant against your body, encouraging long, inspired playing sessions.

Versatility

  • Effortlessly moves from sparkling clean tones to aggressive, overdriven rock sounds.
  • The Custombuckers provide a fantastic platform for pedals, retaining clarity with fuzz, overdrive, or delay.
  • Records like a dream, sitting perfectly in a mix with minimal EQ.
  • Has a commanding presence that cuts through a live band mix without being harsh.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

The big difference is upper-fret access. With the double-cutaway body, reaching those high notes for solos is completely effortless. It also gives the guitar a slightly different balance and a really distinct, aggressive look that stands out from the crowd.
VOS stands for Vintage Original Spec. It means the nitrocellulose finish and nickel hardware have been gently aged by the Gibson Custom Shop to look and feel like a well-cared-for vintage instrument. The finish isn’t glossy and new, but has a softer patina, and the hardware has a slight haze instead of a brilliant shine. It feels broken-in from the moment you pick it up.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 72-Hour Love-It Guarantee. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
