Gibson Certified Vintage 1956 Gibson Les Paul Special, TV Yellow
1956 Les Paul Special, Serial Number 613923
The Les Paul Special was introduced in 1955 as a no-frills, workhorse solidbody with a pair of P-90 pickups and a slab mahogany body finished in limed mahogany—better known as TV Yellow. It quickly found favor with players who valued its punchy tone, stripped-down aesthetics, and rock-solid reliability.
This Gibson Certified Vintage 1956 Les Paul Special is a clean and mostly all-original example, with light nicks and dings throughout, minimal playwear, and light, even checking across the entire instrument. It has been expertly refretted by Gibson Repair and Restoration with medium frets. The original tuners had shrunken buttons and were replaced with a set of aged Kluson® three-on-a-plate tuners; the originals are included in the case. Nice, clean, and totally classic—this is a textbook example of a mid-50s Les Paul Special.
It ships in a new Lifton Historic “Gator Skin” Les Paul hardshell case and includes a Certificate of Authenticity, Letter of Appraisal, and new Limited Lifetime Warranty.
