Overview

A new layer of tone. A cool retro look.

The look and tone of the original Les Paul Special was intended to be pure and accessible, without compromising the high craft and performance standards of the Gibson name. This Limited Run of Maple Top Les Paul Special guitars adds a new depth of character to the Special's voice with a quality 2-piece maple top. The Special's look gets a subtle upgrade as well through the addition of a faux tortoise pick guard and deep, dark cherry finish. Includes hardshell case.
