Gibson Custom Shop 1960 Les Paul Special Doublecut Reissue

Avg price: $4,278.19

On the recordings I used early-'60s Les Paul Specials, with the double cutaway. They've got those old soap-bar pickups and no binding, and I like the necks on them. the recordings that izzy is most likely referring to are either the use your illusion ones or the recordings for the first ju-ju hounds album.
