Gibson Custom Shop Historic Collection 1960 Les Paul Special Japan Limited Murphy Aged Limed Mahogany (TV Yellow): Dry Core and Thick Push / A Guitar Finished to Perfection The Gibson Custom Shop Historic Collection 1960 Les Paul Special Japan Limited Murphy Aged Limed Mahogany (TV Yellow) is a Les Paul Special with a concise construction, enhanced by the density characteristic of the Custom Shop and the expressive finish of Murphy Aged. The brightness of the TV Yellow is complemented by fine weather checking, adding depth and visual impact. Because it's a model that doesn't rely on ornamentation, its inherent presence stands out. The appeal of this model lies in its classic Les Paul Special configuration – a simple mahogany body, two P-90 pickups, and a wrap-around bridge – while masterfully combining the Limed Mahogany (TV Yellow) color with the authentic Historic feel. It possesses a blend of ruggedness and refinement, offering a compelling presence both when held and when viewed. The sound is characterized by the strong push and mid-range thickness typical of P-90s. When amplified, it delivers a fast attack, with clear definition for both chords and single notes. In clean settings, it's crisp, and with a slight overdrive, it gains a gritty texture without losing its core. The responsive picking dynamics allow for nuances to be translated directly into the sound. The extensive weather checking across the entire body and the aesthetically pleasing aging process significantly enhance this instrument's appeal, giving it a distinguished character beyond mere beauty. This is a guitar for those who want to enjoy the raw power of a Les Paul Special through both its looks and its sound. The neck condition, truss rod, and electronics are all in perfect working order. Upon purchase, it will be re-adjusted before delivery, ensuring it's ready to play immediately in optimal condition. Please consider this opportunity.
