Gibson Custom Les Paul Special Double Cut TV Yellow

The Essentials to Know About the Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cutaway TV Yellow Guitar

• Two P-90 pickups for a raw, edgy, and highly expressive tone, from biting cleans to thick saturations.


• Solid mahogany body in a "slab" format: sharp attack, present mids, and natural sustain.


• Double cutaway for smooth access to the high frets, ideal for solos and high-position riffs.


• Wraparound bridge: simplicity, resonance, and vintage feel without any extras.

A Gibson Classic Born in the Heart of the "Golden Era"

Inspired by an iconic design introduced in 1955, the Les Paul Special Double Cutaway continues the "plug-and-play" spirit of historic Gibson models. Originally conceived as an evolution of the Junior, it retains a direct and efficient approach while gaining versatility thanks to two P-90s and a 3-position selector switch. The result: a guitar with a decidedly vintage look, yet perfectly at ease in modern contexts, both in the studio and on stage.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This Les Paul Special Double Cutaway is aimed at both ambitious beginners and experienced guitarists seeking a simple, reliable, and inspiring electric guitar. Its personality is tailored for rock, blues, punk, and anything that demands responsiveness and dynamics. The double cutaway will particularly appeal to lead players, while the comprehensive electronics (2 volumes, 2 tones) allow precise shaping of the P-90 character.

The Sound

The combination of solid mahogany + P-90 is a legendary recipe: mahogany provides warmth, midrange density, and natural sustain, while the P-90s deliver an open, gritty, and highly responsive tone. In the neck position, you get round and singing sounds, perfect for blues and expressive leads. At the bridge, the attack becomes sharper and edgier for punchy riffs. The 3-position toggle and 2 volume / 2 tone controls allow you to switch from articulate cleans to thick saturation while retaining the lively character typical of P-90s.
