SOLD - Gibson Les Paul Special ’60 Reissue - USA 2007

Here is a 2007 Gibson Les Paul Special ’60 Reissue in TV Yellow, serial 029270413, a stripped-back and highly responsive reissue that captures the raw character and simplicity of one of Gibson’s most direct rock instruments. The Les Paul Special has always focused on tone, feel and immediacy over ornamentation, and this example stays true to that original design philosophy.

This example features a lightweight mahogany double cutaway body that delivers a resonant, open feel with excellent upper fret access. The guitar responds quickly under the fingers, with an immediate attack that makes chords bite and single notes jump forward, encouraging a dynamic, hands-on playing approach.

Tonally, the dual P-90 pickups provide classic Special character, with strong midrange presence, a woody low end and a cutting top end that remains articulate without becoming harsh. Clean tones are open and expressive, while driven sounds deliver grit, bark and rich harmonic texture, making it well suited to blues, rock and punk-influenced styles.

The ’60s-style neck profile sits comfortably in the hand, offering a balanced feel that leans toward speed without feeling insubstantial. Combined with the simple wraparound bridge, the guitar feels solid, resonant and direct, with an honest, no-nonsense playing experience.

Condition is very good with only light signs of use and everything functioning as it should. Comes supplied with a non-original SKB hard shell case, presenting a classic Gibson Special that remains a highly effective, expressive and timeless working guitarist’s instrument.
