I bought this guitar hoping to fall in love with the p90’s but never found the groove! All in all the guitar is in great shape has some surface swirls and light scratches, one paint touch up on the side of the neck where it meets the body. The 3 things I love about the guitar are its ability to stay in tune. time and time again I have picked this guitar up and thought I would have to tune it, but did not have to! The guitar has a great color to it. more of a greenish tv yellow. The last thing is how the sound resonates through the whole guitar. Anyways those are my thoughts let me know if you have any question. Thanks for taking the time to look. The manufacturer info is below.

Return Of The Special

The Les Paul Special returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played and loved shaping sound across generations and genres of music. It pays tribute to Gibson's Golden Era of innovation and brings authenticity back to life. Originally introduced in 1955, the Les Paul Special has been embraced by musicians for over 60 years. It is based on the Les Paul Junior with a slab mahogany body, fat 50s-style mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, wraparound bridge, an additional rhythm P-90 pickup, binding on the neck and additional controls for the rhythm pickup and the 3-way toggle switch. Available in the always classic TV Yellow 

P-90 Single Coil Pickup
Legendary Tone

First introduced in the early 1950s, Gibson's legendary P90 single coil pickup produced a raw powerful tone that helped define the blues and rock and roll in their formative years. Today, the P90's traditional combination of high output and brilliant tone is still considered a favorite among many top musicians. Known by such familiar nicknames as the "Soapbar" and the "Cobalt," the P90 still cuts through any type of music, all while displaying amazing tonal sensitivity for everything from blues and rock to mellow jazz riffs. It's perfect as a vintage replacement, and features vintage, braided two-conductor wiring. It's also fully wax potted to eliminate any chance of unwanted microphonic feedback.
