Whether you're chasing vintage mojo or just want an honest, soulful workhorse, this LP Special earns its name every time you plug in.

We’ve long sung the praises of simple guitars that punch above their weight, and this 2022 1957 Gibson Les Paul Special reissue is a perfect example.

Originally introduced as a step up from the Les Paul Junior, it offered players the same no-frills spirit with a touch more versatility. Decades later, it still delivers: roaring P-90s, slab mahogany body, and that unmistakable midrange bite.

There’s no flash here, just pure, inspiring tone. A 50s neck carve, wraparound bridge, and bound rosewood board give it the feel of a well-worn favorite. You don’t think about this guitar when you play it, you just play. That’s the magic.

Condition

Gibson's VOS finish differs from a gloss finish in that it has a slight haze to it and you can see light buffing marks (the idea is to make it look old). Aside from this finish there are two small paint chips (neck block and headstock) and a few light marks on the pickup covers / pickguard / and back (surface - not worming or into the body). All in all a very clean and well-cared for guitar
