Here’s a cool opportunity to get into a TV Les Paul Special from Gibson’s golden era at the price-point of a used R9 Les Paul. Very cool player’s grade 1959 / 1960 Gibson Les Paul Special in it’s mostly original TV Yellow finish. This guitar suffered a heel break in it’s life which in turn led to the previous owner refinishing in the entire back, neck, and sides of the guitar. The face has it’s original TV Yellow finish. The new color used is quite close, but you can tell it is off and where the original and newer paint meet. Despite this one has being partially refinished and having a repaired heel it does have all original parts including both pickups which read 7.73k in the bridge and 7.79k in the neck. The pots are coded Pot codes 134936, dating to 1959. This example does feature a 60s style slim neck instead of the late 50s chunkier neck. Overall, cool playing and sounding LP Special. Comes with the original soft shell alligator case.
