1961 Gibson Les Paul Special TV

Very rare 1961 Gibson Les Paul Special TV Yellow

This is a rare bird as they only made these for a short period of time in early 1961 before changing to the SG body style.

I had the guitar refinished back to it's original TV finish by Gord Miller Restoration, guitar also received a refret and is all ready to go it absolutely sounds killer.

Neck is nicer '59 profile not skinny like most 60-61 necks.

These are also unique in the position of the neck pickup which was moved away from the neck and IMO gives you a warmer tone out the neck pickup very cool move by Gibson on these.

The original TV yellow finish was present in the pickup cavities.

Gord did a fantastic job matching the color to the original it's bang one with subtle aging very nicely done.
