    An affordable Les Paul with a powerful pickup combination and wraparound bridge.

    The Gibson Les Paul Special is great deal on a unique guitar. The body is all-mahogany with a set, single-piece mahogany neck. Playability is perfect as you'd expect with its '60s slim taper neck profile, rosewood fingerboard and traditional 24-3/4" scale length. What sets this one apart from the rest is its pickup combination of a 490R neck and 491T bridge pickups. The 491T humbucker is noteworthy as it's crafted in the image of Gibson's acclaimed PAF ("Patent Applied For") humbucker of the late '50s, but updated with a ceramic magnet for great power, clarity and sustain. The result is a a stage-ready guitar with a winning range of tones and an unbeatable price.

      Comments about Gibson Les Paul Special:

      I'll be 62 years old this May and sometimes my Gibson LP standard and LP
      Jr. seem a little heavy to me ... Purchased this guitar for my birthday
      with a cash gift from my girlfriend, children, and music students ...The
      Mahogany slab body in desert burst is flawless ... The action on the neck
      is better than my other single cut guitars(Gibson,PRS,Epiphone) ... and
      the fretwork is second to none(no unlevel or sharp frets) ... Apparently
      Gibson has solved their rosewood "problem" because this is the nicest
      rosewood I have seen on a 2013 guitar ... The electronics and tuners are
      regular Gibson quality ... Guitar is mildly stripped down with 2 volume
      and only one tone control... Guitar is well intonated even though it has a wraparound bridge ...Pickups are Gibson 490R neck and Gibson
      491T ceramic bridge pickup ... The 491T bridge pickup responds well to pick attack
      and seems to have a "little more attitude" than a regular 490T ... The 491T
      will remain on the guitar ... All in all -- this Gibson Les Paul Special
      is a nice feeling, good playing guitar ...
