Description

This 1977 Gibson Les Paul Special ’55 Reissue brings the character of Gibson’s original double-cutaway student model into the Norlin era. The Tobacco Burst finish gives the mahogany body a warm, understated look, while the familiar slab-body design and wraparound bridge keep the guitar’s appeal centered on its essential elements. Its P-90 pickups deliver the direct, lively response and midrange bite that have made the Les Paul Special a longtime favorite. Replacement Grover tuners are fitted, and the guitar retains the distinctive simplicity and character of the original design.

Includes OHSC.
