The Les Paul Special is the plain-spoken Les Paul: a solid mahogany body and neck with no maple cap, two P-90 single-coils, and a wraparound bridge. It follows the fifties single-cut Special, with the bridge P-90 for lead and the neck P-90 for warmer rhythm.
The neck is the rounder 50s Vintage profile on a rosewood board with dot inlays. Two volumes, two tones, hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors, and Vintage Deluxe tuners.
Ebony, TV Yellow and Vintage Cherry. TV Yellow also comes left-handed. If you want one pickup and a double-cut body, see the Les Paul Junior Double Cut.
