The Gibson Les Paul Special is a variation of the Gibson Les Paul guitar. It was introduced in 1955. [ 1 ] It is designed to be an intermediate level instrument, at a price point and trim level between the low-cost Les Paul Junior and the standard Les Paul.
Around the time of the last small-guard SG's offered in early 1966, Gibson standardized a T-shaped tool mark on the top of humbucker bobbins.
