Description

This Les Paul Special is in excellent condition overall, and although it has been refinished, the work looks fantastic. It plays exceptionally well thanks to the classic ’50s-style C-shaped neck and a quality refret with frets that closely replicate the feel of the originals.

Tonally, the original P-90s deliver everything you’d want—hot, fat, and robust with plenty of vintage character and bite. A Bigsby has been added for tremolo capability, while the truss rod cover has been replaced with what appears to be a National-branded cover.

It remains a beautiful instrument, with the original finish still residing beneath the later layers. Includes the original hardshell case (OHSC).
