Vintage 57 Les Paul Special in TV Yellow. Slab mahogany body, rosewood fretboard, two P-90's and a wraparound tailpiece. Good condition, especially given its age. Sounds great.At one point the guitar had a Bigsby and the screw holes remain on the top of the body as well as near the strap pin. The tuners have been changed, with the originals included in the case. The guitar has been re-fretted with more modern larger-size frets. The case is a vintage Cali girl case.Includes: Original Lifton Cali Girl Hardshell Case, Original Tuners7 Ibs, 2 oz.TV Yellow FinishMahogany BodyMahogany NeckRosewood Fretboard24-3/4" Scale Length900° Neck Measurement at 1st Fret990° Neck Measurement at 12th FretTwo P-90 Pickups with Individual Volume and Tone ControlsWraparound TailpieceNickel Hardware

Overview

Slightly higher-end than the Les Paul Jr but still considered a student-level guitar, the Les Paul Special was introduced in 1955 with a pair of P-90 pickups. Like other Les Paul models, the Les Paul Special underwent a total transformation at the end of the '50s. The model has been reissued several times since and remains in production. 

Notable Players: Bob Marley, John Lennon, Martin Barre
