Iconic design, unmistakeable Gibson tone
The Gibson Les Paul Special, finished in TV Yellow, 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 and additional controls for the rhythm pickup and the 3-way toggle switch.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we like the Gibson Les Paul Special, in TV Yellow, because it's a solid and simple Les Paul, with great vintage tone, thanks to a pair of P90's and high quality tonewoods.
