How does the Double Cut differ from a standard Les Paul Special?

The main difference is the body shape. The Double Cut has two cutaways, so you can reach the higher frets more easily. The single-cut Special has one cutaway and a more traditional look.

Is the body chambered or weight-relieved?

The Les Paul Special Double Cut is a solid slab mahogany body. It is not chambered like some Les Paul Standards, so it has a solid feel and a straightforward, punchy tone.

What pickups does it have?

It carries two humbucking pickups in the standard Gibson layout, with a three-way selector and volume and tone controls. That gives classic rock and blues tones without extra switching.

Is the neck profile comfortable for smaller hands?

The maple neck has a rounded Gibson profile that most players find comfortable. It is not a thin shred-style neck, so try one if you prefer very slim profiles.

Does it come with a case?

Gibson usually ships the Les Paul Special Double Cut with a hardshell case. Check the listing for the exact case included with the guitar you are buying.
