This one I really like - 1977 Gibson Les Paul Special TV! These are really tough to find in this color - go out and find another!

Perhaps one of the very coolest Gibson releases in the 70s - a 50's style Les Paul Special with a Schaller Nashville bridge for good intonation.  

Les Pauls from the period got maple necks, which are fine I suppose, but all-mahogany construction of a Special is a must.

This example is in just-right condition, showing a few dings here and there but no signs of abuse, no cracks, no issues.  The pickups were once removed, then returned to the guitar, though it is hard for the untrained eye to tell.  Otherwise, it is all original with full frets and tone to the bone.

Original hard case included.
