NGD!! 1960 Gibson Les Paul Special double cut VOS

[Muovinen]

Could the name be any longer? :lol: Well, I dropped "Custom" out of the many titles this guitar has. My search for the perfect P90 guitar is over for now, but I wouldn't mind if I had a Guild with these mics too :wink: Maybe a Bluesbird?

I'm not much of an electric guitar guy, but that style really appeals to me. What a great little guitar.

Yes, the VOS series ( Vintage Original Specs) are reissues from original specs. They come out of the custom shop.

Think Guild American Patriarch series.

was it Mistertv's guitar maybe?

 

[chazmo]

AH, reissue. OK. I thought we were looking into a time capsule.

 

[kitniyatran]

Want.
For about 40 years. There was a band back home, Southern Iron, used LP Specials like this copies. Great for a local band, they should have gotten somewhere.

Thanks! Took the pics myself again. I have a few more to add to my gear gallery (link in my sig).

Like someone mentioned, it is a custom shop reissue with vintage original specs. It would have NOS in the name if it was unused and from 1960 I bought it from the same gentleman who sold me my S300

Muovinen,

Your taste in guitars is only exceeded by your ability to shoot said beautiful guitars. Well done on both counts.

Thanks Thunderface! Too bad it's too cold to take those babies outside. You can imagine the finish checkings in -26C...

One more sample, "the family shot"

Great guitar! A real rock 'n roll machine. Congrats 8)

The first real Les Paul I ever saw in the flesh was one of these, hanging on the wall in Brite Note Music...had to be a "real" early 60's model...in about 1966...never knew that the single-cut carved-tops even existed then...
