Gibson Certified Vintage 1957 Les Paul Special
Introduced in 1955 as a mid-level model between the Junior and Standard, the Gibson Les Paul™ Special is now considered a bona fide classic. Its combination of a pair of P-90 pickups and wraparound bridge is one of the most toneful and versatile in the history of electric guitar design. This superb 1957 example features a TV Yellow finish and is all-original with the exception of a sympathetic refret carried out with vintage-correct fretwire.
The guitar was stamped as a second at the factory due to an oversized output jack plate, and this was how it was shipped in the late 1950s. Its original chipboard “Alligator” case is sadly long gone, but the guitar now comes with a 1990s-era brown Gibson hardshell case.
In recent years, this Les Paul Special has been owned by Gibson Brands, Inc. and exhibited alongside other iconic vintage instruments in the Vault at the Gibson Garage in Nashville. During its time in the Vault, it has been played by numerous celebrity musicians and used as a benchmark for Gibson Custom’s Historic reissue and Murphy Lab programs.
Availability Date: The purchased instrument will be available for pickup at the Gibson Garage in Nashville, or shipment to an address in the US, starting July 27, 2023.
