Gibson Les Paul Special from 1956 in TV Yellow finish, one of the most iconic models from Gibson’s golden era. Built with a one-piece solid mahogany body and set mahogany neck with Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, it delivers the open, dynamic tone characteristic of mid-’50s instruments. The original pair of black soapbar P-90 pickups provides exceptional touch sensitivity and harmonic richness, with strong midrange presence and warm compression. The original 1956 wiring harness includes Centralab potentiometers and Bumblebee capacitors, ensuring the unmistakable vintage tone. The lightweight aluminum wraparound bridge and Kluson Deluxe tuners guarantee stability and sustain, while the aged TV Yellow nitro finish and natural checking give this guitar an authentic vintage character. Entirely original in all key components including pickups, plastics, hardware, and electronics, this 1956 Les Paul Special stands as an exceptional example of integrity and true vintage tone.
