Gibson has forever engraved its name in the hall of fame of guitar, from jazz to rock, blues and metal. Founded in 1894 by Orville H. Gibson in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA, the company has revolutionized the guitar world with technical and aesthetic innovations such as the humbuckers or the Flying V, Explorer and Firebird shapes. With ambassadors like Charlie Christian and Slash, or Tommi Iommi and, of course, Lester Polfus, Gibson crosses the ages and musical styles, and stands out as a must-have brand of guitar, both electric and acoustic.
Introduced in 1955 as a variation of the Les Paul, halfway between the Les Paul Standard and the Les Paul Junior, the Les Paul Special features a solid mahogany body, mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, and two P-90 pickups. This "made in the USA" Gibson delivers a rich, creamy sound, assertive mids and excellent sustain. The quality of the tonewoods is obvious to the naked eye, and this guitar in particular has plenty of character, and we found that the volume and tone controls allowed us to modify the grain in depth.
