Les Paul Special with a Bold Appearance
Gibson's Les Paul Special has long been one of the most beloved and most valued solidbody electric guitars. Its simple slab mahogany construction and two P-90 single-coil pickups allow the guitar to sing with a versatile balance of warmth, sustain, and cut. Utilizing some of the most popular Firebird finishes and a matching headstock, this Les Paul Special Single Cut displays even more hot-rod flavor. Its look commands the stage while your hands wrap around an instrument that makes you feel right at home.

Classic tonewood construction
A no-frills slab of warm-sounding mahogany has been the platform for the iconic Les Paul Special since its original introduction. Without the carved maple top that caps other LP models, the Gibson Custom Les Paul Special Single Cut is able to resonate with a warmer tone that marries beautifully with the guitar's single-coil pickups. The mahogany extends through the guitar's Medium-C profile neck. And Gibson's iconic rosewood fretboard is on full display, offering even more rich harmonic content.
Plek'd for precision playability
This Les Paul Special Single Cut feels fast and precise, thanks in large part to Plek processing. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you're likely to own. Each note rings loud and clear, and the fret edges feel as smooth as silk.
P-90 pickups deliver the original sound of the Les Paul
Warm, creamy, shiny, and full of life, the P-90s in this Les Paul Special Single Cut capture the very essence of the classic pre-PAF P-90. Roll back the tone, keep the volume in check, and you'll have access to the liquid jazz lines Les Paul himself liked to play. Or open them up full-throttle and tap into the slightly rude and gritty tone they have to offer. As simple as they are, these classic pickups give this Les Paul Special the wide range of classic tones you crave.
