Description

This 1957 Les Paul Special is about as clean an example as you can find of this model with only the most minimal wear. The electronics are all original (CentraLab pots from the 48th week of 1956) and it sings with vintage P-90 tone. The frets are original, and playable, but could benefit from a refret eventually. We are leaving that up to the next owner for the sake of originality. The tuners are replacements as the original buttons crumbled, but the original metal plates are included in the case and could be re-buttoned if desired. Very clean with a few finish dings and some light stand rash on the back of the neck. Don't miss out on this crazy clean '57 Special!

Includes original Lifton hard shell case (The case has substantial water damage and isn't structurally sound).

*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.
