Pre-Owned Gibson Les Paul Special - TV Yellow with Hard Shell Case

The Gibson Les Paul Special: Vintage Mojo with P-90 Power

Classic single-cut tone machine with vintage character

This Les Paul Special is the kind of guitar that makes you want to plug straight into an amp and let it rip. From its slab mahogany body to its no-nonsense wraparound bridge, everything about this guitar is built for direct, unfiltered tone. Finished in TV Yellow, it’s got that instantly recognizable vintage aesthetic the kind that looks even better with a bit of honest playwear. And this one’s got it: a small ding near the input jack, one on the back of the neck, and a touch of finish damage by the jack, along with light pick marks and general wear that give it that well-loved look. But don’t mistake that for anything less than inspiration. This is a guitar that wants to be played.

50s-style neck profile and smooth rosewood fingerboard

The neck on this Les Paul Special is pure comfort. It’s a solid chunk of mahogany carved to Gibson’s 50s Vintage profile, substantial without being tubby, perfect for players who like something to dig into. Topped with a rosewood fingerboard and set with acrylic dot inlays, it has a familiar, broken-in feel. The 12” radius and 22 medium jumbo frets strike that sweet spot that makes the guitar almost impossible to put down, while the classic 24.75” scale keeps string tension forgiving and slinky.

Dual P-90 pickups for iconic midrange punch

A pair of P-90s that deliver everything from chimey cleans to snarly, broken-up edge-of-overdrive textures. The bridge pickup cuts through a mix with attitude and clarity, while the neck pickup fills out rhythm work with warmth and grit. Whether you’re comping Motown soul, tearing through punk riffs, or laying down bluesy leads, these pickups speak with unmistakable authority. The hand-wired controls with Orange Drop capacitors give you nuanced tone shaping and volume taper, making this a surprisingly versatile sonic tool.

Vintage hardware with modern stability

From the vintage deluxe tuners with white buttons to the rock-solid wraparound bridge, the hardware on this Les Paul Special keeps things simple and effective. Sustain is abundant, and string response is lively. The Black Top Hat knobs and classic 3-way toggle switch round out the tactile experience with Gibson’s no-frills elegance. This guitar doesn’t need gimmicks to shine, its voice is loud and clear.
