Return of The Special - Now in Deep Purple
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, additional controls for the rhythm pickup, and a 3-way toggle switch.
Now available in Deep Purple, an exclusive color available only at the Gibson Garage and on Gibson.com.
