This 1960 Les Paul Special is truly the real deal. Made in the year the Les Paul Special was largely considered to have hit its stride, this example is all-original except the wraparound bridge, which has been accurately replaced. The original bridge is included, and this guitar even comes with its original chipboard case. 

In Very Good Vintage condition with moderate wear for an instrument of this age, including some nicks, scratches, and other signs of normal handling and use. The Cherry finish has faded naturally to a reddish-brown.

Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.  

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
