Gibson Les Paul Special (TV Yellow) is a 6-string electric guitar with a 628.65 mm scale and 22 frets.
This version combines a TV Yellow finish, 2 × Gibson P-90 pickups and a Wraparound bridge. It supports rhythm parts, melodies and technique practice; your amplifier and picking approach also shape the final sound.
Les Paul Special in detail
The Les Paul Special is built around a flat single-cut mahogany body, 50s Vintage neck and two P90s. This layout retains single-coil attack with substantial midrange for blues, garage rock and expressive crunch. Each pickup has separate volume and tone controls, allowing different balances in the middle position. Hand-wired Orange Drop electronics and a straightforward wraparound bridge complete the traditional Special specification. A hardshell case is included in the manufacturer’s standard package.
Construction and playing feel
Body: Mahogany. Neck: Mahogany. Fingerboard: Rosewood. The 628.65 mm scale is paired with 22 frets and a 43.05 mm nut width. The 50s Vintage profile describes the shape of the back of the neck.
The 304.8 mm fingerboard radius describes its crosswise curvature. Consider the radius together with the neck profile, action and your approach to bending strings.
Pickups and controls
The 2 × Gibson P-90 system uses a P90 / P90 layout. Controls: 2 Volume / 2 Tone. The selector provides 3 positions.
The two P90s are single-coil pickups with a pronounced attack and substantial midrange. Adjusting gain and picking strength takes them from clear chords to blues crunch. Like other single coils, P90s can pick up electromagnetic hum, particularly at higher gain.
Bridge and maintenance
The fixed Wraparound bridge suits riff work and lead playing without an arm. Stretch new strings before final tuning, and check intonation and neck relief after a gauge change. Set intonation in your intended tuning.
The hardware includes Vintage Deluxe with white buttons tuners. Factory string gauge: .010–.046. Wiping the strings and hardware after playing helps maintain the instrument.
