Description

If a vintage-style, take no prisoners, rock and roll machine is what you've been looking for, then please check out this guitar. Offered is this Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut built in 2009 and in near mint condition!

This recreation of Gibson's late 50's LP Special DC has a solid Mahogany body and a one-piece Mahogany neck which is attached to the body via a long neck tenon for maximum resonance and tone. It has a 24-3/4" scale length neck which has a 60's C shape which on this instrument is .84" deep at the 1st fret and .92" deep at the 12th fret. The Indian Rosewood fretboard has a 12" radius, medium/jumbo frets, MOP dot inlays and a 1.6875" nut. It has a 50's replica wrap-around tailpiece and vintage style ivoroid button tuners. The electronics include upgraded Lindy Fralin hum-canceling P-90 pickups (the original Gibson Custom P-90's are also included), CTS pots and bumble bee caps along with a traditional Les Paul control setup (2V, 2T, 3-way). This example is finished in a more expensive to built TV Yellow gloss finish, rather than the more common VOS finish. This beautiful instrument weighs just 6.8 pounds!

This guitar is a joy to play and to hear. The setup is nice and low and buzz free. The neck is a nice medium C which should appeal to most players and the guitar's light weight make it an instrument you can play all night. The Fralin P-90's kick butt tone-wise. Check out the brief sound sample provided.

This guitar is in near mint condition with virtually no flaws other than a few very light pick scuffs on the black, five-ply, beveled pickguard. The guitar has seen extremely little play and the gloss finish still shines like new. This beauty comes in it's original Gibson Custom case, also in near mint condition, along with the certificate of authenticity.

If you could find one like this new, it would cost you around $4K. Get this gorgeous and near mint 2009 example for quite a bit less. What a great Gibby - make it yours!
