Electric Guitar · United States · Introduced 1955
The Gibson Les Paul Special is a legendary, no-nonsense rock-and-roll machine revered for its raw acoustic resonance, punchy single-coil bite, and minimalist aesthetic appeal. Constructed with a solid flat-topped mahogany slab body and a comfortable vintage 50s chunky mahogany neck profile, it delivers a direct, mid-focused punch with lightning-fast transient response. The guitar is powered by dual legendary P-90 single-coil pickups, which offer the fat warmth of a humbucking pickup combined with the crystalline cut, edge, and high-end snap of a true single coil. Equipped with a simple yet effective wrap-around bridge and Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons, it provides unhindered string vibration transfer and effortless setup adjustment. Finished in iconic TV Yellow, it is the ultimate axe for gritty punk, garage rock, and classic blues.
