Here we have a 1961 Gibson Les Paul Special refinished in stunning white. This one has a headstock repair and some replaced binding but is in stellar shape now. It also has some mods, but mostly ones which are upgrades like the addition of a Leo Quan Badass bridge.
Basic Specs: Newer Gibson Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons. 1 11/16 nylon nut. Mahogany neck with a 24.75 inch scale length. Neck depth measures .77 inches at the first fret and .85 inches at the twelfth fret. Bound Rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets on a 12 inch radius. Some binding has been replaced and the guitar is refretted. Original P-90 pickups with some replaced pots, one from 1964 and one from 1988. German-made Leo Quan badass bridge. Original pickguard. Black Dunlop straplock buttons have been added.
Great deal on a player grade Les Paul Special. Comes with a late 70s Gibson hardshell case with blue interior. If you want a vintage Special but don’t want to pay a collector’s price, here’s your opportunity.
