zZounds Gear Experts Say...

While stripped down to the basics, this Les Paul is anything but. A pair of screeching soapbar P-90s produces a midrange-heavy bite that brings the rock.

What's special about this item?

Feature:	What it does:
Mahogany body and neck	Rich, warm tone with focused midrange
Rosewood fretboard	Open, warm tone and smooth playing feel
P-90 pickups	Bright and clear; strong mids, great lows
Wraparound tailpiece	Hard tail w/ string wrap-around; better intonation

Overview

The Gibson Les Paul Special 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.

Made just like the original. Hand wired, bound neck, P-90's, wraparound bridge, and no PCB's anywhere. It's what I've wanted for MANY years...now available in the Gibson "Original series". They finally get what the Gibson lovers have been clamoring about all these years!
