A special sound. The Gibson Les Paul Special is a vintage rock icon. Originally designed as an improved Les Paul Junior the simple flat body and dual P90 pickups made it extremely popular with professional guitarists who wanted a lighter cut-down version of the Les Paul. The dual P90 pickups deliver a range of classic Gibson sounds. Much hotter than traditional single coils these pickups push out plenty of power while retaining their unique character. You also get a vintage feel to match the historic tone. With a 50s profile mahogany neck and a traditional rosewood fingerboard you get an amazing playing feel thats fast and smooth. An exceptional guitar that lets your playing shine through.
