The Les Paul Music City Special – 50th Anniversary is an updated, modern twist on two historical Gibson models, taking much of its inspiration from the ’70s-era Marauder that was designed by Bill Lawrence, with a touch of the Music City Jr. in its DNA.

Over the years, the Marauder has been used by artists from Adam Jones to Paul Stanley. This unique commemorative model pays tribute to the early days of Gibson’s Nashville production and celebrates Gibson’s 50 years of producing world-class guitars in Music City, while delivering outstanding value to modern players.

The lightweight, contoured body is solid poplar. The maple neck has a fast-playing and comfortable SlimTaper™ profile and is equipped with a striped ebony fretboard that is adorned with acrylic dot inlays and outfitted with 22 medium jumbo frets. The 12” fretboard radius makes first-position chords and string bends higher up the fretboard equally effortless.

The hardware is chrome-plated, including the Nashville Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners, and output jack plate cover. A black 5-ply pickguard holds two Gibson 70s Tribute humbucker™ pickups, which are wired to an intuitive and comfortable control layout consisting of master volume and master tone controls with black Top Hat knobs and a three-way pickup selector toggle switch.

A premium softshell case is included to keep the Les Paul Music City Special. The Les Paul Music City Special – 50th Anniversary is available in Ebony, Wine Red, and Tobacco Burst gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finishes, and each has a commemorative 50th Anniversary truss rod cover.The Les Paul Music City Special – 50th Anniversary model is limited to only 500 instruments in each of the three colors, so make sure you get your favorite while you still can!
