Personal Thoughts:
The Les Paul Special is one of Gibson’s most honest and characterful designs — no frills, no nonsense, just pure tone and feel. This 2009 example hits that sweet spot where modern build quality meets classic vibe. The mahogany body and neck give it plenty of warmth and midrange punch, while the P-90s deliver that unmistakable snarl and articulation that sits perfectly between single-coil clarity and humbucker grit.
Clean tones are woody and responsive, while pushed sounds have bite, grind, and real attitude. It’s the sort of guitar that rewards dynamics — dig in and it barks, back off and it cleans right up. Lightweight, resonant, and incredibly playable, this is a brilliant workhorse Les Paul that doesn’t hide behind fancy tops or binding.
Condition Report:
Excellent condition. Very light signs of use only, with no notable dings or damage. Frets are in great shape and the guitar plays exactly as it should. Well looked after throughout.
