The Les Paul Special was introduced in 1955 as an upgraded version of the Les Paul Junior and evolved in 1958 to its now-celebrated double-cutaway shape. This model’s design provided improved fret access and established a legacy among both students and renowned professionals. With the 1960 addition of the SlimTaper neck and repositioned neck pickup, Gibson cemented this model’s reputation for speed, comfort, and tonal diversity—continuing to inspire generations of players.
