Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Special Single Cutaway TV Yellow Mod 2004

Description: Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Special Single Cutaway TV Yellow Mod 2004 Description GibsonCustomShopLesPaulSpecialSingleCutawayTVYellow 2004GibsonCustomShop LesPaulSpecialSingleCutawayTVYellow Made in 2004.This LesPaulSpecialTVYellow is a model that reproduces the specifications of the Les Paul Special from its introduction until the design changed around 1958.The specification was changed to a double cutaway around 1958, so this is a reissue of the previous single cutaway model.It is well known that the yellow body with transparent wood grain was given this color to stand out on black-and-white TVs, so it was called TV Yellow.This yellow Les Paul Special is very popular in Japan, and is available only in Japan from Gibson. A limited model will also be released.And the model that arrived this time is equipped with Bigsby.I don't know if this was done from the beginning or as an afterthought, but in order to make this modification, I have to refill the stop tailpiece stud hole and re-drill a new hole for the Tune O bridge.However, there is no evidence of the tailpiece hole being filled in on this individual, so it may have been this specification from the beginning.It also looks like all the pots have been replaced.The structure has two P-90s mounted on a mahogany body and a mahogany neck. It is said that when it was first released, the body of a Les Paul before the maple top was applied was used because it saved processing, labor, and materials.Although the Les Paul Special was released as a low-priced model, it has become a popular model with many users due to its unique sound with a sticky middle that differs from the Les Paul Standard.My impression is that it is often used by Japanese guitarists and band members, such as Tamio Okuda and Masatoshi Mashima.The crunch sound of strumming chords is unique to the Les Paul Special and cannot be imitated by other guitars. One of the reasons why many people use it for guitar and vocals in bands is that it has a nice chord feel with just the right separation for singing, and it has a surprisingly wide range of range that allows you to distort it to a certain extent and play power chords.The neck is also thicker than the current regular model, so it gives the impression of a fairly thick sound.The TV Yellow Les Paul Special is still very popular today, and it comes with a Bigsby, so we highly recommend it to Tamio Okuda fans.Exterior condition: Appearance has scratches and signs of use.Truss rod with plenty of roomCondition of the frets: Approximately 8 minutes remaining, good condition with no chatter or clogging of sound!Nut width actual measurement approx. 42mmColor yellowManufacture year 2004Pickup configuration 2SNumber of frets: 22 fretsneck scale mediumWeight 4.09kgBody material mahoganyFingerboard material rosewoodneck joint set neckNeck material mahoganySerial number 04042Accessories Hard case Shipping Shipping by EMS or FedEx,UPS (international express mail service, with Tracking and Insurance, handling cost).
