The Gibson Les Paul Special is a vintage rock icon. Based off the mould-breaking Junior, the Special delivers abundant P-90 punch and a delicious rock tonality. Far hotter than standard single coils, these P-90s give you the snarl and growl to voice flaming classic rock while still retaining a sparkling character.
And just wait until you hold it. Designed as a cut back Les Paul, this agile feel lets you unleash your most adventurous playing on stage. Set with a '50s profiled neck and a glorious rosewood fretboard, you'll be riffing like a machine. If you want a Les Paul with unique style and a fiery attitude, the Special will be your favourite companion.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionP-90 power up
Stunning simplicity. These dual P-90 pickups roar with the vintage snap that put Gibson on the map. Boasting a high output growl, you know this sound is all about bite, and the Special delivers that in buckets - without becoming too saturated. Ripping highs, gutsy mids and rich, twangy lows are all in the P-90's wheelhouse.
Full of gnarly crunch potential, these potent pickups are superb for rock, punk and fuzzy blues. Featuring vintage-style construction it provides crystal clear performance, so everything you play is articulated and sharp. Even better, when set into the middle position they're hum cancelling, so you can access those crisp, pure tones. Revel in gritty crunch, or roll back for mellow jazzy tones, there’s boundless flexibility to be found in the P-90s.
Junior name, grown up design
Conceived as an upgrade to the Les Paul Junior, the Special raised the bar with an extra P-90. It also takes the legendary Les Paul form and strips it back for a streamlined look. Barebones. Captivating. And just oh so sleek to play. Carved from a slab of mahogany and finished in a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer it's simply gorgeous to view, not to mention the rich, developed tones imparted by this premium wood.
With its time-tested shape, it's so easy to wield at performances, letting you hit the strings with unerring accuracy. Speaking of accuracy, the Gibson excellence extends to the wrap around bridge and hand-wired Volume and Tone controls. Expect excellent tunning stability through the bridge and huge dynamics courtesy of the hand-wired controls with Orange Drop Capacitators.
Release the riffs
Old school cool. Sometimes the old ways are best, and this vintage ‘50s style neck shows it. Carved for comfortable chording or swift riffing, you’ll love how it feels in the hand. Mounted with a rosewood fretboard, it’s a combination that guitarists crave. Soft, smooth and fluid to manoeuvre around, the fretboard is going to bring out nothing but your best.
Roar out some flying solos with expansive pitch bends, because the 22 medium jumbo-sized frets make vibratos or bends a breeze. Capped off with a Graph Tech nut, each string attack will ring pure, free from buzz and with bags of sustain.
