Description

This 1955 Gibson Les Paul Special is an especially clean example of the classic model finished in the iconic TV Yellow finish. It offers the cool mellow tones of P-90s with a super comfortable neck shape and killer action. It remains largely original with the exception of replaced tuner buttons (the original deteriorated), an Orange Drop capacitor in the bridge, and some light solder touch up. Additionally, there is a chunk missing on the bass side top of the headstock, and minor finish wear and dings in several places, along with some gorgeous checking! This stunning example won't last long.

Includes original brown Cali Girl hard shell case in great condition.

*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.
