In via trade! This 2025 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Special DC Figured Top is a great alternative to the standard Les Paul fare. Gibson took features of several models and combined them, making this the vintage guitar that never was! The flat-top feels great under your picking hand, and the neck is a fat but fast ‘60s style. A pair of Custombuckers rounds out the specs for a versatile rock machine, anchored by a rock-solid fixed bridge. This one is in very good condition with factory VOS patina, general minor playwear, and a ding to the headstock corner.

From Gibson: An all-new model with an all-retro vibe!

Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail.

Custom Shop is proud to present the Les Paul Special Double Cut Figured Top -- a mash up of several circa-1959 vintage Gibson models that looks, feels, and plays like a golden-era classic. We took a 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut and added a figured maple top, body binding, Custombuckers, and an ABR-1 bridge and stop bar setup. The result is a stunning, retro-mod beauty that plays and sounds like the best of all worlds. Available in three distinct colors with more possible through Made 2 Measure custom orders.

How Does It Play?

The truss rod functions properly and the guitar sets up nicely. The string action sits at 4.5/64” on the low E string and right at 4/64” on the high E string, measured at 12^th fret.
