1956 Gibson Les Paul Special TV Yellow

It's our pleasure to introduce this stunning 1956 Gibson Les Paul Special in TV Yellow! The previous owner’s father bought it from a Manhattan music store in 1997, convinced it was the very same guitar he played in a band called The Strokers from ’57 to ’60, before reluctantly selling it around ’61 to get married. Decades later, he was able to reclaim it and eventually passed it down to his son, supposedly, bringing this Special full circle.

Measurements: 7.4 lbs / 3.35 kg total weight. The neck measures 1.72" / 43.6mm wide at the nut, 0.90" deep at the first fret, and 0.98" deep at the 12th fret. The neck pickup measures 7.81k ohms and the bridge reads 7.66k ohms.

Originality: All parts, finish, and solder are original to this guitar except the following: The tuners have been replaced with vintage tuners and buttons. The original tuners are there, but no buttons. The bottom edge of the body has overspray on either side of the end pin.

Playability: Excellent! The neck is straight and action is low.

Condition: Very good with no breaks or repairs. 

Included: This guitar comes with its original case.

Fine Print: All guitars ship via FedEx Priority Overnight for domestic sales or FedEx Priority International. I offer a 48 hour approval period beginning on delivery for all sales during which you are welcome to opt for a return as long as the guitar is still in as-sent condition. I do not charge a restocking fee, but any non-refunded payment processing fees, outbound shipping, and return shipping costs are subtracted from the refund in the case of a return.
