Gibson Les Paul Special Ebony

Gibson Les Paul Special Ebony – Classic dual P-90 with vintage tone

The Les Paul Special returns to the classic design that made it a favorite across generations and genres. Originally introduced in 1955 as a step up from the Les Paul Junior, it combines simplicity with enhanced tonal versatility. The solid mahogany body with single-cutaway delivers the iconic shape and a powerful midrange response.
