The Les Paul Special returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played and loved shaping sound across generations and genres of music. Originally introduced in 1955, the Les Paul Special has been embraced by musicians for over 60 years. Now paying tribute to Gibson's Golden Era of innovation this Les Paul Special brings that legendary authenticity back to life.
Vintage-Style Tonewoods and Controls
The Les Paul Special boasts a mahogany body and neck, delivering warmth, richness, and excellent sustain. Its lightweight, comfortably contoured single-cutaway body offers great balance whether worn on a strap or played on the lap. The hand-finished ’50s-style mahogany neck features a rounded profile that provides a fast and comfortable playing experience. A rosewood fretboard with medium jumbo frets ensures a familiar feel for both chords and lead work. Finished in a lightweight glossy, nitrocellulose lacquer, this Les Paul Special comes just like the original. This finish is a lot thinner than polyurethane which allows for the guitar to breathe for improved sound and tone.
Orange Drop Capacitors
Enhancing its vintage-inspired design, the Les Paul Special is outfitted with premium components that capture an authentic tone and playing feel. It includes an adjustable wraparound bridge for precise intonation, Orange Drop capacitors that preserve clear, bright highs, and CTS potentiometers for smooth volume and tone adjustments. The breathable nitrocellulose lacquer really allows the tonewoods to resonate freely, producing a rich and open sound.
Authentic Tone: P-90 Pickups for Extra Bite
Loyal fans of P-90 pickups will love this guitar. The unique tonal palette of the Les Paul Special allows for ultimate versatility with a side of grit from the additional controls for the rhythm pickup and the 3-way toggle switch.
Gibson Les Paul Special Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
A single-cut Special with P-90 pickups and a period neck
Classic, lightweight mahogany slab body
Hand-filling vintage ’50s mahogany neck

This is a fantastic guitar.
This is a fantastic guitar. I can't keep my hands off it. It feels like a living thing. The heart and soul of this instrument are the P90s - they're everything you've heard and more. From sweet to raunchy. I can't imagine playing anything else (except maybe another P90-equipped Gibson!). Could not p...

WOW
This guitar is a beast!
Very happy with the tones out of the P90's-way different than single coils from Fender.
Pros:

All it takes is a tweak of the volume controls and it goes from 0-1...
