The new Les Paul Special TV Yellow takes the classic design that made it relevant, played and loved shaping sound across generations and musical genres. It pays homage to Gibson's golden age of innovation and brings authenticity back to life. Originally launched in 1955, the Les Paul Special has been adopted by musicians for over 60 years. It is based on the Les Paul Junior with a slab mahogany body, 50's style mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, wraparound bridge, additional P-90 rhythm pickup, neck binding and additional controls for micro rhythm and a 3-position switch.
Finish Available: TV Yellow and Vintage Cherry
