Gibson is, so to speak, the king of the guitar world, having produced countless legendary instruments.
It is beloved by countless top artists, including Bob Marley, Motoo Fujiwara, and Takashi Yamaguchi.
Introduced in 1954 as a student model by Gibson, the Les Paul Junior was joined in the lineup the following year, 1955, by this Les Paul Special as its higher-end counterpart.
This model is crafted by the Custom Shop.
The Custom Shop is a special manufacturing division established to handle custom orders.
It produces exceptional guitars using advanced craftsmanship to meet the demands of professional musicians and guitar dealers.
Its high quality is highly regarded by artists around the world.
This model is a recreation of the 1960 Les Paul Special.
Through carefully selected materials and precision craftsmanship, it brings the charm of the Les Paul Special to life in the modern era.
The body and neck are made of mahogany, and the fingerboard is rosewood.
While these are familiar woods for Gibson, each piece is carefully selected—a hallmark of the Custom Shop.
The traditional double-cutaway body shape, crafted entirely from mahogany, features a flat top and a retro look.
In addition to the popular TV Yellow finish, it features a VOS (Vintage Original Spec) finish.
The subdued patina, reminiscent of a vintage guitar played for many years, lends the instrument a deeper character.
It is equipped with soapbar-style P-90 pickups.
The golden combination of a high-quality mahogany body and P-90 pickups delivers a rich, straightforward sound.
Handcrafted using a generous amount of Custom Shop-grade premium wood, this is Gibson’s top-of-the-line model that embodies the spirit of the craftsman.
