Originally introduced in 1955 to fit between the Les Paul Junior and Les Paul Standard in Gibson’s line-up, the Les Paul Special has proved to be an enduring classic favoured by players and collectors for it’s no nonsense style and enormous tonal versatility.

In 1958 the body style of the Les Paul Special (along with the Les Paul Junior) changed from the original single cutaway to a double cutaway which enabled greater higher fretboard access.

This 1959 example features the early neck pick-up position (in 1960 the neck pick-up was moved back slightly) along with the most desirable '59 neck profile.

The overall condition is excellent to near mint with just a handful of small nicks on the edges and some light surface scratches on the rear. The front and sides of the guitar have faded beck to a rust colour but the rear maintains quite a strong cherry colour. All parts are original and there are no breaks, repairs or touch up.

A pair of powerful P-90 pick ups deliver everything you’d expect from a vintage Les Paul Special. When played clean you can get a fat Tele like twang from the bridge pick up, a full bodied chime from the middle position and warm soul and blues tones from the neck pick up. Crank it up and it turns into a raw power tone monster, growly and with plenty of bite, but always retaining clarity and definition.

Les Paul Specials really are superb guitars capable of delivering killer tone in any genre, and this one doesn’t disappoint.

Clean, original unmolested collector grade examples like this don't come up very often so of you've been looking for an investment grade vintage double cutaway Special then look no further.

Comes with the original croc case which in itself is in excellent condition. Overall a killer package.

Weight: 7lb 9oz
Pick up readings: neck 8.2k, bridge 10.2k
