Absolutely wonderful 1956 Gibson Les Paul Special in it’s original TV Yellow finish. This guitar has a lot going for it and is a truly incredible instrument. Lightweight, 2 hot P90s, a nice and comfy C shaped neck that is a tad smaller than some mid 60s Les Pauls, and one of the most beautiful Brazilian rosewood fingerboards I’ve seen. Tuners were replaced with a modern set of Kluson drop in replacements (no extra holes or enlargement) and the original tuners are included. As is common with 54-56 Les Pauls with wrap around tailpieces there is a small repair located at the treble side bridge stud. It was done very well and is pretty much undetectable to the naked eye. Plays and sounds great and comes complete with it’s original 4 latch brown Lifton case.

Model: Les Paul Special

Serial: 63360.
