The Gibson Les Paul Special TV is a modernized version of the legendary Les Paul Junior. This electric guitar was developed for guitarists who love the classic vintage sound and look of the Les Paul Junior, but are looking for an instrument with more flexibility and sound options. With its second P-90 pickup on the neck, lighter mahogany body and an eye-catching TV Yellow finish, the Les Paul Special TV is a standout instrument both visually and sonically. This guitar is an ideal companion for musicians who want to combine vintage aesthetics with modern features.
Gibson is known worldwide for making iconic electric guitars. For over 100 years, Gibson has been setting standards in the guitar world and has created one of the best-known and most popular guitar lines with the Les Paul series. The Les Paul Special TV continues this tradition by combining the classic look and sound of the 50s with modern components. The result is an instrument that offers the unmistakable Les Paul sound while achieving increased versatility through modern features such as the second P-90 pickup and hand-soldered electronics with Orange Drop® capacitors.
The Gibson Les Paul Special TV is based on a lightweight mahogany body that delivers the typical full and warm tone that Gibson guitars are known for. The TV Yellow finish in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer provides a classic look and gives the guitar an authentic vintage charm. The mahogany is not only lightweight, but also provides a powerful, resonant sound with long sustain, which is particularly noticeable in lead sounds.
The 50s vintage-style neck profile offers a familiar feel for guitarists who prefer the traditional thickness and shape of classic Les Paul models. With a scale length of 24.75 inches (628.65 mm) and a fretboard radius of 12 inches (304.8 mm), the guitar ensures comfortable playability and is equally suitable for chords and solos. The rosewood fingerboard in combination with medium jumbo frets and the precise Plek® finish guarantees a durable and comfortable instrument to play.
A key feature of the Les Paul Special TV is the second P-90 pickup positioned on the neck. This offers the player more sound variety compared to the classic Les Paul Junior. The P-90 pickup on the neck delivers a warm, fuller tone that is ideal for bluesy leads or jazzy chords, while the P-90 on the bridge provides the typical raw, assertive sound that is ideal for rock and punk. Together, these two pickups provide a wide range of sounds that make the instrument versatile for many styles of music.
The hand-soldered electronics with Orange Drop® capacitors offer finely tuned tone controls and ensure optimum sound quality. The two volume knobs and two tone controls offer precise control over tone shaping, while the 3-way switch toggles between the pickups or combines both to open up additional tonal possibilities.
The design of the Gibson Les Paul Special TV is strongly reminiscent of the 1950s, with modern updates that improve the playing feel and performance. The wraparound bridge offers excellent tuning stability and a direct, resonant sound. The vintage deluxe tuners with white buttons complete the traditional look and ensure reliable tuning accuracy.
The fingerboard is decorated with acrylic dot inlays which, together with the binding on the neck, create an elegant look. The guitar also features a 5-ply black pickguard, which enhances the classic look and provides additional protection for the body. Other details such as the amber-colored switch tip and black top hat controls underline the classic design.
The Gibson Les Paul Special TV is a modern interpretation of a classic that impresses both visually and sonically. With its lightweight mahogany body, additional P-90 pickup and hand-soldered electronics, it offers guitarists more sound options and outstanding sound quality. The TV Yellow finish gives the guitar an unmistakable vintage look, while modern features such as the Orange Drop® capacitors and Plek® frets guarantee outstanding performance. For musicians looking for the classic Les Paul sound with modern updates, the Les Paul Special TV is an excellent choice.
