Not many of us can
Not many of us can resist the fascination of a vintage Les Paul. The Standard with striking flame maple top and cherry sunburst finish gets most of the attention. Others prefer her more classy sister in “tuxedo look”: the Custom. Some others favour the stunning sonic impact of the Junior sister with a single P90 pickup and no-frills look.
In this perspective, the double pickup Special seems to play a secondary role. It would seem condemned to the unfair definition of “neither fish nor fowl”: not a top shelf Les Paul Standard or Custom and not a minimalist rock’n’roll machine like the Junior.
In fact the Les Paul Special cannot count on many relevant testimonials. Consequently a vintage original Les Paul Special from the 1950’s, until recently, had even lower market value than many contemporary reissues of Les Paul Standard and Custom.
Yet, the vintage Special has been re-evaluated and it’s now considered a proud member of the Les Paul family. Let’s finally shed some light on its secrets and hidden virtues!
