Up for sale, a 1996 Gibson Les Paul Special in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Offering the same tonal platform as a ’50s Special, this Gibson features an ABR-1 Tune-o-Matic bridge for more accurate intonation and a pair of P-100 pickups. These pickups offer plenty of classic P-90 growl, presence, and midrange power, channeling the natural warmth of the mahogany body and neck, and the second coil ensures hum-free performance. The guitar weighs 9lbs 1oz, benefitting from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action and accurate intonation.
