The Les Paul Special returns to the classic design that made it
relevant, played, and loved–shaping sound across generations and
genres of music. It pays tribute to Gibson's Golden Era of
Innovation and brings authenticity back to life. Originally
introduced in 1955 as a step up from the Les Paul™ Junior, it
quickly found favor among players who wanted the straightforward
approach of a Junior with added versatility. Decades on, the Les
Paul Special remains true to those vintage roots, with a slab
mahogany body and single-cutaway design that deliver its
unmistakable look and roaring midrange punch.
