Gibson LP100 Les Paul Special Double Cut Electric Guitar TV Yellow inc Hard Case (2015)
£1,299.00
This quality Pre-Owned Gibson Les Paul Special returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played, and loved–shaping sound across generations and genres of music. It pays tribute to Gibson’s Golden Era of Innovation and brings authenticity back to life. Originally introduced in 1955 as a step up from the Les Paul Junior, it quickly found favour among players who wanted the straightforward approach of a Junior with added versatility. Decades on, the Les Paul Special remains true to those vintage roots, with a slab mahogany body and double-cutaway design that deliver its unmistakable look and roaring midrange punch.
The solid mahogany neck has a comfortable ’50s vintage profile and is topped with a bound rosewood fretboard, offering smooth playability for everything from tasty blues runs to thunderous rock riffs. The 22 medium-jumbo frets and 12” fretboard radius strike the perfect balance between easy chording and hassle-free string bending, with dot inlays that pay homage to the original design. For those craving the distinctive high output of P-90 pickups, the Les Paul Special features a pair of these single-coil wonders—one in the bridge for biting, lead-friendly tones, and one in the neck for a warmer, rounder palette perfect for playing rhythm. Together, they deliver a broad tonal range that’s perfect for classic rock, blues, punk, or any style that benefits from a bit of rawness and plenty of punchy midrange clarity.
A wraparound bridge anchors the strings for enhanced resonance and sustain, while the added Grover tuners offer rock-solid stability. Volume and tone controls for each pickup, plus a 3-way toggle switch, let you seamlessly blend or isolate pickups to find your sonic sweet spot. Whether you’re a die-hard collector drawn to its storied past or a modern player seeking timeless tone, the Les Paul Special remains the perfect intersection of heritage, simplicity, and versatility—just as Gibson intended over six decades ago. Available in the always-classic TV Yellow complete with Gibson Hardshell Case.

P-90SR / P90ST Pickups with Alnico Slugs
The 2015 Les Paul Special Double Cut features Gibson’s iconic P-90SR/ST pickups in the neck and bridge position, recreating the faithful and legendary tone of this classic guitar. Crank up the volume for dominating driven tones, or roll back the dial for a cleaner, crisp sound.
Zero Fret Adjustable Brass Nut
The Gibson 2015 zero fret nut offers players stability and consistency in their tone and playing. Thanks to the unique, patent applied for design, open strings will sound consistent and a lower action can be achieved without the traditional problems.
Wider Neck For Supreme Comfort
For 2015 Gibson have given their guitar necks a major overhaul, and the results are stunning. Each guitar neck and fingerboard has been widened by .050” – the result is a more comfortable feeling neck that is a joy to play. Gibson have also introduced one piece, thicker fingerboards that have been smooth sanded, buffed and treated with oil, giving you the best feeling Gibson neck ever.
27 Percent Lower Fret Wire
Gibson have utilised the German manufactured PLEK machine for many years now – these incredible machines can scan a guitar and apply a perfect, accurate fret dress and action to the guitar. The result is that each Gibson guitar comes out of the box ready to play without any adjustments required. For 2015, Gibson have fine-tuned the PLEK set up, resulting in one of the best feeling electric guitars ever made, with 27 percent lower fret wire across the fingerboard.
Les Paul’s 100th Birthday
To mark the 100th birthday of the man who started it all, Les Paul, each 2015 Gibson USA guitar will feature a new signature on the headstock. The ‘Les Paul 100’ signature is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest players who ever lived. Each Gibson guitar in 2015 will also feature a high gloss lacquer finish for the ultimate in visual appeal, whilst each fingerboard will feature genuine Pearl inlays.
