Revamped Classic: The Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Special DC Reissue TV Yellow
In 1958, Gibson updated the Les Paul Junior and Special with double cutaways for better fingerboard access. However, it wasn’t until 1960 that the Special found its stride. The new, lower pickup placement and slim neck taper made the guitar more robust and easier to play than ever.
