For your consideration, we are proud to offer this 1956 Gibson Les Paul Special in TV Yellow finish. This is a one owner, near mint condition example, that's 100% original! Stunning collectors grade guitar, that plays and sounds incredible!! There's one tiny spot of touch up on the side of the back of the body, just above the pickup selector switch cavity. The rest of the guitar is perfect! The neck is an absolute joy to play. Great neck angle, with low action down the fingerboard. The neck measurements are .915" at the 1st, .950" at the 5th, and .980" at the 12th. The original frets are in great shape. Beautiful Brazilian board as well. Both original P-90s sound out of this world good! The bridge pickup measures 8.34k, while the neck measures 7.73k. As fine of an example we've come across. BONUS- original 5-latch, pink liner brown case included! Same style case used for Les Paul Bursts. It also includes the original strap and hang tags!

Weight- 7lbs 8oz

Nut Width- 1 11/16"
