Up for sale is a total rock-and-roll machine with unbeatable vibe: a 2003 Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cutaway (DC) in the iconic Faded TV Yellow finish.

If you know this era of Gibson Faded models, you know how notoriously thin and delicate the satin nitrocellulose finish is—most examples from twenty years ago are heavily worn down to raw wood. This particular guitar is in Very Good to Excellent condition for its age, standing out as a remarkably clean, well-maintained example from the early 2000s!

Built with a slab mahogany body and double-cutaway access, this guitar is lightweight, ultra-resonant, and effortless to play all the way up the neck. Equipped with a classic Nashville Tune-o-Matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece, it offers rock-solid intonation, superb tuning stability, and effortless string height adjustments. Combined with its original high-output Gibson P-90 pickups and warm Rosewood fingerboard, it delivers that signature mid-range growl, dynamic touch sensitivity, and biting bite that makes TV Yellow DC Les Pauls an absolute staple in rock, punk, and blues.
