The Les Paul Special returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played, and loved, shaping sound across generations and genres of music. It pays homage to Gibson's 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 solid mahogany body, a chunky 50s-style mahogany neck, a rosewood fingerboard, a wraparound bridge, an additional rhythm P-90 pickup, neck binding, and extra controls for the rhythm pickup and the 3-way toggle switch.
