Gibson Les Paul Doublecut

The Gibson Les Paul Doublecut is a double-cutaway version of the Gibson Les Paul electric guitar.

Except for Gibson Custom Shop/Historic models, there are currently four types of the Les Paul double cut model, all of which have been discontinued:

Les Paul Doublecut Pro

Les Paul Faded Doublecut

Les Paul Standard Doublecut Plus

Les Paul Doublecut Longhorn

Les Paul DC AA Top

Historic models include:

1960 Les Paul Special Double Cutaway VOS

Custom 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cutaway

1958 Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway VOS

The Faded Doublecut has its origin in the Les Paul Special Doublecut, which is an all-mahogany flat-top guitar with P-90 pickups first produced from 19581960. The “Faded” model is called such because it does not have a glossy nitrocellulose finish, and has “wear” marks added at the factory to make the guitar look aged. The body is composed of multiple mahogany (usually four) pieces and is sold with a gig-bag (as opposed to a hard-case).

The Doublecut had one major design change: the original models had the Neck Pickup mounted closer to the neck/body join which resulted (apparently) in a weak neck join. This was changed by moving the neck pick up further into the body.

The “Faded Doublecut” is one of a series (at least as of 2007!) “faded” models being the SG, Les Paul (single cut with humbuckers) and Flying V. All of these models are made in the USA.

It is also one of the cheapest Les Paul guitars available. It appears that Gibson has since decided to discontinue much of the faded lines, including the Les Paul Special Double cut for its 2009 lineup.

A much more expensive and historically accurate version of this guitar, the 1960 Les Paul Special, is available as a Custom Shop/Historic Reissue model.

For many years after 1960 no Les Paul Doublecut guitars were produced by Gibson, and when Gibson did start making doublecut Les Pauls again, they were re-issues closely following the original Les Paul Special flat-top (no arched maple cap) design, with P-90 pickups rather than humbucker pickups. In the interim, during the 1970s, a small boutique USA guitar producer, Hamer, began making both flat-top and arch-top doublecutaway guitars very similar to the then-dormant Gibson designs. These Hamer versions of doublecutaway Les Pauls got widespread publicity for their use by the members of the rock band Cheap Trick and others.

The Les Paul Standard and Pro models of the doublecut LP are a newer concept, based on an arched-top Les Paul with humbucker pickups, similar to the Hamer design. The Pro has 22 frets; the Standard has 24 frets. Unlike other 2-pickup single cutaway Les Pauls, these Gibson doublecutaway versions have one master volume and one master tone control (singlecut Les Pauls with two pickups have two sets of tone and volume controls, one for each pickup). Many believe these newer archtop doublecut Les Pauls were developed in response to the high-end guitars of Gibson competitor Paul Reed Smith, whose PRS guitars most typically have a doublecut design and master tone and volume controls, and whose production eventually went from a small shop (as Hamer’s has stayed) to an assembly-line production rivaling Gibson’s. This opinion is further supported by the fact that the first of Gibson’s archtop doublecut Les Pauls, the now-discontinued Les Paul Studio doublecut (produced in the late 1990s), had 24 frets, as opposed to Gibson’s more standard 22 frets. 24-fret necks are featured on some PRS guitars, and are more popular with heavy metal players who often solo at the high end of the neck. Thus the archtop Gibson Les Paul doublecut models are seen by many to be one of Gibson’s bids to stay competitive with more “modern” oriented rock guitarists, though many doublecut owners do not play metal or similar styles.

Another version of the Les Paul Doublecut is the Les Paul Junior Doublecut. Like the singlecut version of the LP Junior, it has a single “dog-eared” P-90 Single Coil pickup. This Les Paul doublecut is currently only available as a Gibson Custom Shop/Historic Reissue model, called the “1958 Junior Doublecut.” The Junior, in both its singlecut and doublecut forms, was originally Gibson’s “student” model. The initial price of the Les Paul Junior was originally $49.50.

Chip of the Flying U $4.98 B. M. (Bertha Muzzy) Bower was the first woman to make a career of writing popular westerns. And what a career it was–more than sixty novels published from 1904 to 1940, the year of her death, and still more posthumously. In the western orbit, Bower was–and still is–a star. Her first, "Chip of the Flying U," lays out a ranch in Montana and introduces the Happy Family, the bunkhouse gang that reappears in her later books. Chip is the typical woman-shy cowboy, but he is also a gifted artist (reputedly, Bower based the character on Charles M. Russell, who illustrated "Chip"). Della, a doctor, is the young woman who disrupts his solitary life. The result as a quality ranch romance. "Chip of the Flying U" was a great success that led to several movie versions, one of them casting Hoot Gibson as Chip. Today’s readers who grew up watching westerns on television will appreciate Bower’s cinematic style. After living much of her life in Chouteau County, Montana, she moved to Los Angeles, close to the movie industry that increasingly fascinated her.

The American Blues Guitar: An Illustrated History $18.31 If the story of the blues is the story of a people, then the voice behind the story belongs to the guitar.
