The 2018 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Special in Oxblood captures the raw, no-frills magic that made the early Les Paul Specials legendary. Hand-crafted by Gibson’s Custom Shop artisans, this Historic Reissue delivers vintage feel, authentic tone, and effortless playability — now enhanced with premium Wolfetone P-90 pickups and a precision Plek fret level.
Built from a single slab of solid mahogany with a matching neck and rosewood fingerboard, this Special resonates with warmth and punch. The wraparound bridge and dual P-90 layout keep things pure and dynamic, giving you that unmistakable bite, clarity, and midrange growl only a true Les Paul Special can deliver. The factory Oxblood nitro finish adds a subtle twist — dark, rich, and rarely seen — making this one stand out in any collection.
This guitar has been professionally Plek’d for ultra-low action and perfect intonation across the board. It’s stage-ready from day one and comes complete with its original Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity.
