Les Paul Special Left-handed - TV Yellow Review

Great guitar

This is a super guitar. Granted, I prefer a slim neck and this one is fairly chunky, but it plays and sounds great. I love it.

Pleased

Very much impressed with this guitar. This is the first p90 guitar I have purchased or played and I understand fully what all the hype is about. The guitar is just perfect. I was originally turned off by the color but after understanding the classic look and vibe it entails I've really grown to love this thing. The fat 50s style neck is great. I have another Les Paul with the 60s… read more slim neck and the chunky one really just fits the classic vide the guitar has. Awesome!

Awesome Guitar!

This guitar is a rock and roll machine! I had been itching for something a little different from my other guitars, and when I saw this was offered in a left-handed configuration, I knew I had to have it. Don't be put off by the fact that this is a relatively cheap model compared to the rest of the Gibson line-up. This is NOT a low-end guitar, it is a quality instrument. Also,… read more I'm not usually a fan of the color yellow, but this TV yellow finish with the wood grain peeking through is gorgeous. The P90s in this are phenomenal! Very articulate pickups. With a little gain, these things growl and sizzle and bark just the way you want. And the volume and tone controls are very responsive. You can go from crunchy overdrive to fairly clean with just a twist of the volume knob. Very fun. Upon close inspection, there are a few minor cosmetic issues with my guitar, but nothing that affects the feel or playability at all. The guitar feels and plays so good, and sounds just as amazing. The pros far outweigh the cons, in my opinion. And, as always, the team at Sweetwater was a pleasure to work with. They had me sorted right away. Overall, if you're on the fence at all about this guitar, my advice would be to just buy it. You'll be glad you did. It's a great guitar, and very inspiring to play.

Blown Away!

This guitar has the sound and feel of rock n roll hands down. There aren't enough words to describe how inspiring it is to play this guitar. It's a beast all it's own. Need a setup? Sweetwater has you covered. I had them tweak my setup (While I waited) free of charge and it's perfect. Get one and prepare to be amazed and inspired.

FINALLY, I have what I always wanted!

When I saw the Gibson Special in TV Yellow and that they offered a lefty I went into action immediately. Called Sweetwater and spoke with a great sales rep named Grant. He answered all of my questions and gave some great advice. I had to figure out how to get the Gibson to my home without my wonderful wife and the 100 questions followed by a blistering cross examination. Well The… read more day came and the delivery truck pulled up, and when my wife asked what came to the house I told her that it was her Christmas present. In any event my wife got her presents and I received my guitar with the blistering cross examination. Thank you Sweetwater and thank you Grant.
