Gibson Les Paul 55 1974
[Included Accessories]
Hard case
[Features]
This is a reissue model introduced in 1974, based on the 1955 Les Paul Special. It features a mahogany body with a Two-Tone Sunburst finish, a black pickguard, and dual P-90 pickups. A bound rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays enhances its classic aesthetic. It offers the crisp attack and rich mid-range characteristic of P-90s, handling everything from clean tones to overdriven sounds with ease. With independent volume and tone controls for each pickup—combined with a 3-way selector—players can finely adjust the character of the neck and bridge pickups and balance the mix. Key characteristics include the dynamic response of the P-90s and the direct attack provided by the wraparound bridge. It responds exceptionally well to picking nuances and volume adjustments, faithfully translating the player's touch into sound.
