This 1960 Gibson Les Paul Special is a stunning piece of rock history, carrying with it the legacy of two iconic musicians: Spencer Davis of the Spencer Davis Group and Ferry Lever the lead guitarist of the Dutch band Tee-Set. This is a great player! Originally built with Gibson's famous craftsmanship, 3,7 kilos only! the guitar maintains its original body, neck, pickups, and most hardware, making it a rare find for collectors and vintage enthusiasts alike. The instrument boasts the Les Paul Special’s characteristic double-cutaway, solid mahogany body, delivering the warm, punchy tones that helped define the sound of 1960s rock. Although the non cellulose lacquer is not original—it was refinished —it has aged beautifully, adding to the guitar’s distinctive character and vibe and most of all...it sounds amazing. When compared to two contemporaray Custom Shop Gibson , it's the easy winner

The tailpiece was replaced at the time of the refinish, but the rest of the hardware remains true to the original build, enhancing its authenticity and playability. The guitar was carefully restored in the early '70s to preserve its structural integrity and tonal quality. It comes with an aftermarket case that ensures it is well-protected for continued use. This Les Paul Special is more than just a fine instrument; it is a piece of musical history with connections to groundbreaking artists who left a lasting mark on rock and roll. Its unique story, combined with its remarkable build quality, makes it a valuable acquisition for any serious collector.

Note the price is based on its current condition.
