This guitar is an excellent choice for those seeking a player-grade Les Paul Special! What started as 50's Special has undergone some changes over the years, making it impossible to accurately date. It has been refinished in black and refretted to ensure optimal playability. The pots were also changed at some point along the way. The bridge, tuners, and pickguard have also been replaced, updating its functionality while maintaining a nod to its vintage origins. This Les Paul has been on a bit of a journey, but still sounds and plays beautifully. It comes with Gator padded gig bag.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
