{"product_id":"les-paul-special-tv-yellow","title":"Gibson Les Paul Special TV Yellow Les Paul Electric Guitar","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA No-Nonsense Les Paul With Vintage Attitude\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes you just want a guitar that cuts through the mix without all the fuss. \u003ccite index=\"2-4,2-5\"\u003eThe Les Paul Special was introduced in 1955 as a step up from the Les Paul Junior, featuring a slab mahogany body and single-cutaway design\u003c\/cite\u003e that's all business. This TV Yellow finish is the real deal—\u003ccite index=\"5-3\"\u003eone of Gibson's most renowned\u003c\/cite\u003e—and it shows off the wood grain through that gloss nitrocellulose lacquer in a way that just looks right under stage lights or in your living room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this Special actually special is its straightforward approach to tone. \u003ccite index=\"2-6\"\u003eThe solid mahogany neck has a comfortable 50s Vintage profile and is topped with a bound rosewood fretboard\u003c\/cite\u003e, giving you that chunky feel that made the fifties classics so addictive to play. You get dual P-90 pickups—those single-coil wonders that sit somewhere between the jangle of a Strat and the thickness of a humbucker—wired up with hand-wound Orange Drop capacitors for authentic vintage-style tone shaping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're looking for a guitar that doesn't overthink things but delivers on that classic Gibson midrange punch, this one fits the bill. It's built for players who want Les Paul DNA without the weight or the price tag of a Standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThat 50s Neck Feel and Playability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite index=\"2-6\"\u003eThe solid mahogany neck has a comfortable 50s Vintage profile\u003c\/cite\u003e that fills your hand without feeling like a baseball bat. \u003ccite index=\"2-7\"\u003eThe 22 medium-jumbo frets and 12-inch fretboard radius strike the perfect balance between easy chording and hassle-free string bending\u003c\/cite\u003e, so whether you're playing open chords or working up around the 15th fret, everything feels accessible. The bound rosewood fingerboard with simple dot inlays keeps the aesthetic clean and focused.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite index=\"1-1\"\u003eThe scale length is 24.75 inches with a nut width of 1.695 inches\u003c\/cite\u003e, giving you that slightly shorter, easier-bending Gibson feel compared to Fender's 25.5-inch scale. \u003ccite index=\"2-9\"\u003eThe GraphTech nut\u003c\/cite\u003e helps with tuning stability, and the \u003ccite index=\"2-9\"\u003eVintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons\u003c\/cite\u003e keep things rock-solid while maintaining that classic look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set neck construction gives you excellent sustain and that warm, resonant connection between neck and body that bolt-on designs just can't quite match. It's the kind of playability that makes you pick the guitar up more often than you probably should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eP-90 Pickups: The Best of Both Worlds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's where this guitar really shines. \u003ccite index=\"2-9\"\u003eYou get a P-90 in the bridge position and a P-90 in the neck\u003c\/cite\u003e, each with its own volume and tone control, plus a 3-way toggle switch to select between them or blend both together. P-90s are those glorious single-coils that have more output and midrange thickness than a typical Strat pickup, but with more clarity and bite than a humbucker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat that means in practice: the bridge pickup gives you cutting, aggressive tones perfect for driving rhythm parts and solos that sit right in the mix. The neck pickup delivers warmer, rounder tones that work beautifully for jazz, blues, or anything that needs a little more smoothness. And when you blend them together, you get a full, rich sound that covers a ton of ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite index=\"2-9\"\u003eThe controls are hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors\u003c\/cite\u003e, which is a nice touch that preserves the high-end clarity when you roll back the tone knobs. These pickups can get gritty and raw when you push an amp, or clean up nicely when you back off the guitar's volume—serious dynamic range for players who use their hands and their volume knob as part of their tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSimple, Effective Hardware\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite index=\"2-9\"\u003eA wraparound bridge anchors the strings\u003c\/cite\u003e, which is about as simple as bridge design gets—and that's a good thing. No tremolo to go out of tune, no complicated intonation adjustments, just rock-solid string anchor that enhances resonance and sustain. The nickel-plated hardware looks right at home on this vintage-inspired design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black 5-ply pickguard, black Top Hat knobs, and amber switch tip all add to that authentic 1950s vibe. \u003ccite index=\"2-9\"\u003eThe body finish is gloss nitrocellulose lacquer\u003c\/cite\u003e, the same finish Gibson used back in the day—it lets the wood breathe and ages beautifully over time. This is the kind of guitar that's going to look even better in ten years than it does right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Slab mahogany construction with gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish in TV Yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Solid mahogany with 50s Vintage profile, set neck construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Bound rosewood with 12-inch radius and acrylic dot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 22 medium-jumbo frets on a 24.75-inch scale length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: Dual P-90 single-coil pickups (neck and bridge positions)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: Hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors, 2 volume and 2 tone controls, 3-way toggle switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Wraparound bridge with nickel-plated hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: GraphTech, 1.695-inch width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Gibson hardshell case and accessory kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gibson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Les Paul Special\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e LPSP00TVNH1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
