This striking gloss nitrocellulose Gibson Les Paul Special is a legendary rock-and-roll machine that pairs timeless golden-era aesthetics with raw sonic power. Built with a resonant, solid mahogany body and a matching vintage fifties-profile neck, this lightweight seven-pound treasure delivers incredible natural sustain and a classic, substantial feel in your hands. The smooth rosewood fingerboard and medium jumbo frets ensure a supremely playable, rock-solid foundation for biting riffs and expressive bends alike. Loaded with a potent pair of authentic P-90 pickups hand-wired with premium Orange Drop capacitors, this dual-pickup powerhouse serves up plenty of punchy midrange snarl and sweet, bell-like clarity. From the traditional wraparound bridge to the vintage deluxe tuners, every element is engineered for pure, high-energy performance. Complete with its protective hardshell case, this authentic rock icon is ready to bring an undeniable spark to your musical collection today!
The Les Paul Special returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played, and loved–shaping sound across generations and genres of music. It pays tribute to Gibson's Golden Era of Innovation and brings authenticity back to life. Originally introduced in 1955, the Les Paul Special has been embraced by musicians for over 60 years. It is based on the Les Paul Junior with a slab mahogany body, fat 50s-style mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, wraparound bridge, an additional rhythm P-90 pickup, binding on the neck, a 3-way toggle switch, and additional controls for the rhythm pickup. Available in the always classic TV Yellow and Vintage Cherry.
Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
