Like the Junior, it featured a solid mahogany body, but offered greater tonal variety thanks to the added P90, as well as certain refinements including a bound Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular example also bridges the gap between player- and collector-grade, featuring screw holes from a former Maestro Vibrola on the one hand and a \u003cstrong\u003evibrant TV yellow\u003c\/strong\u003e finish and \u003cstrong\u003ebelow-average wear\u003c\/strong\u003e on the other. The Vibrola was likely installed by a dealer when the guitar was delivered. (If you are interested in the Vibrola, we would be happy to reinstall it for you with a more suitable bridge like Pigtail, Mojo Ax, Music City or Tone Pros). Except for the additional holes, its components remain in all-original condition down to the fret wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar plays well up and down the neck and yields the sort of rich, punchy tone these models are known for. While it will certainly roar when you dig in, this Special is highly touch-sensitive and cleans up nicely when you roll back the volume.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll components original\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModel \u0026amp; Year\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ci\u003eGibson Les Paul Special\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear of manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e1957\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e7 7388\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e8lbs\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eSolid mahogany\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e Limed Mahogany (a.k.a.
