Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cutaway TV Yellow

Overview

The Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cutaway brings one of Gibson’s classic solidbody designs back to the core lineup, combining straightforward construction, dual P-90 power, and easy upper-fret access. The Les Paul Special first appeared in 1955, with the double-cutaway version arriving in 1958. This modern version draws on that heritage with a double-cutaway mahogany body and a Slim Taper mahogany neck designed for comfortable access across the full fingerboard.

The bound rosewood fingerboard features acrylic dot inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets, while a Graph Tech nut and Gibson Deluxe tuners with white buttons provide dependable tuning stability. A simple wraparound bridge anchors directly into the mahogany body for a direct, resonant design with classic Les Paul Special character.

At the heart of the guitar are two Gibson Soapbar P-90 pickups, each hand-wired to its own volume and tone controls. Orange Drop capacitors complete the traditional control circuit, giving players the distinctive clarity, bite, and midrange presence associated with a great pair of P-90s. Finished in classic TV Yellow and supplied with a hardshell case, the Les Paul Special Double Cutaway keeps the formula focused and functional.
