My new Gibson Les Paul Special in TV Yellow - I kind of Blame Robert Baker! 😆🎸

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Hey now don't you drag me into this!

[@intheblues]

Haha. Someone needs a Butterscotch Tele! ;-)

[@landonbailey]

@@intheblues damn straight!

[@rkoz55]

I'm Robert too and my butterscotch Baja Tele is supposed to be delivered tomorrow!

[@landonbailey]

@@rkoz55 hi Robert Too!

[@hutchfromba]

Good choice Robert !

[@PatTrudeau]

That is literally my favourite guitar that Gibson makes. Sounds incredible, plays fast, and it’s super light. Hugely underrated.

[@Purplexi]

I can't get mine to stay in tune. I'm using GHS round wound, so never again with those. Also, the 2012 P90's sound really wrong to my vintage spoiled ears. Not enjoying

[@TheRoberyto]

I’ve just bought the Epiphone inspired by Gibson versión after trying the Gibson one, amazing guitars, love everything

[@intheblues]

Now it's Roberts turn to get a butterscotch Tele!! 🤣

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

I guess now I have to :p

[@intheblues]

🤣🎸

[@intheblues]

This one might not be a gold top with p90s but it’s almost there hehe

[@CAllenBlack]

This means if I was to get the Gibson Les Paul Special I can tell the wife its Shane's fault! Love the yellow!!! Hmm, adding to my bucket list once my others are paid off!

[@AuntAlnico4]

@@intheblues got to try a classic vibe tele some time ?

[@yestoES355]

Gibson is truly putting out some good stuff since the relaunch In 2019. That LP is simply beautiful.

[@JamesA5]

I recently purchased a Special and yes, it is so nice to play. I thought the newness would wear off and I’d go back to playing my Tele or my Les Paul Traditional but I continue to pick up the Special where the others just sit. It’s a great guitar. Congrats on your purchase!

[@boxcarstewart311]

Oh my god! TV yellow AND P90s! Love the play out. Ryan on 60 Cycle Hum plays out every demo. Gives the guitar/pedal the final word.

[@MarkGardner66Bonnie]

I just bought one of these and am blown away how by the tone and feel...the neck is amazing...thicker than I thought it is awesome!

[@songsfromtheclassroom9638]

I've had that guitar for a few months and it's never ever leaving. So epic! Feels, plays, and sounds as good as anything. I'm a Fender guy through and through, but this Gibson is a keeper for life. :)

[@tricko2286]

“I think I’m just done (buying guitars)...” Marking the date Shane 😂

[@hutchfromba]

CONGRATULATIONS. Nothing like the sound & smell of a Gibson Les Paul. Blues On....💙

[@intheblues]

Thanks mate!

[@gibsondcxpl85]

I just got one and yours is definitely more yellow/less translucent. Mine is more of a vintage brown mustard color and more translucent, you can see the grain from a distance, like the custom shop finish. Great guitar, I’m really loving it too

[@jessefillmore]

Congrats !!! We both bought our Gibson Flying V's around the same time . Mine is an early 2019 with the Gibson logo truss rod cover . Shortly after the logo was inlay'd . I was bummed but the tone from this guitar is a monster . Still praying for all you Aussie's and hope the relief efforts are helping . Australia and New Zealand mean a lot to the US . Hate to see that happen to our brothers and sisters .

[@andyrock1207]

I just recently became a P90 guy and will never be without a P90's guitar. Having said that, I have picked a Yamaha 502T over a Gibson based on quality of build, weight balance, neck profile, sound quality, original design and brand credibility. So there!

[@sirbaronvoncount4147]

There is such a connection between a player and a guitar that is hard to describe. When you get one in your hands that you can’t live without you know it. I do wish the fretboard was as dark as the Harley Benton though

[@bobatlga1]

I just bought this exact same brand new guitar (right handed) a week ago in Nashville from Carter Vintage Guitars. It is simply amazing sounding and is sooooooo easy to play. I just did a few minor adjustments on the string height and intonation, put D'Addario 10's on it and it's a ROCK/BLUES machine! But surprisingly, the neck pickup is so warm and full sounding it is also great for finger style Chet Akins/Travis picking. It's one of the best necks on any guitar I've ever owned. I love this guitar. Thanks for the review Shane!!!

[@TheDans7300]

One of my favorite guitars had the old Epiphone version and even the bargain version was incredible.

[@fredn2735]

Cool Shane I picked up a 2011 Les Paul special with a tune-o-matic bridge. It's awesome sounds great with the Marshall. Break out your Leslie West mountain records !! Awesome ! my favorite guitar I always love it when Robert Baker breaks it out is that crackle charvel Jackson red crackle Maple neck Floyd rose guitar I love it when he plays it

[@benoastler4376]

I was lucky enough to acquire a 1960 Les Paul Special, TV Yellow. And I record everything with it. I play a Strat live, but the LP Special just records perfectly. One of the most overlooked guitars. Great purchase.

[@Jaysteenn]

I played one of these yesterday and loved it! I really wish I had the money but the new Epiphone specials will have to do. I hope the new Epiphones will be close the Gibson. Specials.

[@guitarocd9984]

Specials are not extravagant. From the beginning they were built to be affordable. So the epiphone's are legit. And they changed their headstock. I think I talked myself into Googling it.

[@guitarocd9984]

I checked Sweetwater. $399 it looks awesome. I don't think you could go wrong with that.

[@Jaysteenn]

Awesome!! I like Sweetwater, I might have to check one out since Gibson is doing a bad job making them affordable anymore. Lol

[@Lalairu]

They look awesome. I am starting to save for one lol

[@josephcorcoran8714]

Very cool!! I bought a Les Paul Jr. a couple of months ago and it is absolutely awesome! I take it with me now more than my Standard or SG.

[@guitagious9464]

Congratulations on your new LP Special !!! (You make it sound great!!) I once had a black LP Trad Pro with 2 P-90s, sold it and regretted it almost immediately!! Someday I will own a special like your new baby!!

[@erictoniaschwab1009]

Don’t get rid of the Love Rock, Shane. That Tokai is so killer. This is a great sounding axe.

[@yestoES355]

erictoniaschwab1009 he has a point though. As great as the Tokai is the name basically means nothing interns of resale value and the longevity for the future when compared to a name like Gibson. It’s How the market will always be

[@guitarocd9984]

There can be a $10,000 Les Paul Custom hanging next to a Gibson junior or special and my eyes will go to the Junior/special.

[@MattyK-USA]

Ain't it funny that way? Ultimately, price is a secondary consideration at best.

[@guitarocd9984]

There's a couple reasons I don't spend crazy money on guitars. I have to do things to them. There would be no point in owning a $5,000 guitar. I don't think I've ever had a guitar off the rack that I didn't do something to it. I don't trust myself with an expensive guitar. LOL

[@MarkSD]

My eyes won't go to the Jr.

[@eddiejr540]

HOLY CRIKEY....I freakin love that thing...been getting into simpler guitars in my old age and that guitar ROCKS...and it’s not yellow...it’s TV yellow...great job my man!!!!

[@danceswithbadgers]

I have a 1988 Junior (tunomatic reissue - 1986 to 1992 only) and love that so much that, especially with all the positive comments I'm hearing about Gibsons since the relaunch, I'm seriously considering selling both my Standard AND Studio models in favour of Specials. P90's rule, simple as, and the less fancy look really appeals too.

[@error8418]

I haven't been a big fan of Gibson lately but that TV yellow Les Paul special looks and sounds gorgeous - even without being super expensive.

[@Scott__C]

Good score, Shane. Gibson seems to be steering the ship in the right direction now. I like that they have the dual lineup instead of trying to make one please everybody.

[@tjnugent62]

Outstanding. My buddy used to have a LP Special from 1957 and that guitar played itself and had crazy inspiring mojo. It was one of the guitars that make you sound so much better than you really are. Since there is no way I would or could buy a guitar like that I am very much interested in new Special

[@edblakemore5729]

Sweet LP jr. Shane! Enjoy! I just love the sound of P-90's when they get angry.

[@waynewhiteside]

I've been playing a Gibson Junior for the past 5 years and came to love the P90. I'm about to order the new Epiphone Special. Same color with 2 P90s. I'm glad to see you with that guitar. Enjoy.

[@ganaorganador]

Man!! Awesome playing: feel, groove, melody, phrasing: GOOD! Kudos.

[@mdub048]

I got one in mid-December. Great guitar, definite keeper! Glad to hear you are enjoying yours!

[@MarkJohnsonJams]

Damn. That thing cuts. That’s one thing that always stands out to me about Gibsons. The tones are just ridiculously good.

[@artbylarry]

excellent sound quality in these clips . I listen while I work on guitars and it sounds like a podcast

[@shaunw9270]

That's a lovely Junior , congratulations Shane 🇬🇧🙂👍

[@craiger2399]

Awesome Shane! Hope you love it! I bought the double cut special tribute with p90s and just love it. My first Gibson.

[@markstanford594]

I have one of these and love it. The only problem with mine is that it is a 2015 with the damn GForce auto tuners. They work OK, but sure wish they were the standard model tuners. Looking forward to the comparison with the HB. Thanks for sharing.

[@glenmyrold5509]

Congratulations! I bought one a few months ago myself. It's so versatile. Everything from smooth jazz, to blues, to classic rock, and even old-school metal. I love it through my Marshall! I even went as far as to file the nut slots deeper, and straighten the neck a bit. Super low and smooth. 😎 Enjoy.

[@Doug5524]

I first looked at the tile of this Vid and said oh no not again and could not so laughing sorry :-) The Gibson special looks epic, truly all the best from the UK

[@motorrebell]

Awesome Guitar ! I love p90s ! Soo dynamic - I even like the Buzzing ! reminds me of an old Vintage Tube radio !

[@akwamarsunzal]

Yes! Bridge shootout!!! Would be VERY interested in hearing that Shane! :-)

[@BrianKaplanUCNBG]

Best replacement wrap around with intonation is the BadAss Bridge

[@garyb7551]

Hey Shane i just bought an epiphone les paul custom pro because of your last review... now i need a special im like you left handed and just cant stop when you can get your hands on a great guitar....If i buy anymore the wife will leave me (with some luck) keep playing your older guitars dont sell any youll regret it.

[@robertgandy1519]

I just recently bought an Epiphone Les Paul Special. I love the sound of the P90s.

[@traceydevlin7066]

Nice new guitar Shano. I prefer P90 pickups myself as well. I have a Gibson DC Junior tribute.....that LP special sure would look good next to it.🤘

[@whatyoumakeofit6635]

Hey shane !! I have a video suggestion. Hopefully im not over stepping my bounds. Hopefully I can describe what im thinking. Ok here it is.... A video on "A good jam-a-long set-up for home/practice". For example: in this video you were demonstrating the guitar by playing it along with a backing track of a band, minus guitar. If you felt like jamming at home with a full band backing track, how do you go about it ? Os there a better setup ? How do others setup to jam to backing tracks at home ? Im sure all of us have done the simple, play a track on the computer running through some speakers. While playing guitar through an amp. Is there a better way ? Recently I have had the urge to find a good, easy, hassle free way. I think what kicked it off was the demo for the new spark from positive grid.

[@mikecorey8370]

Love the P-90's. Hard to find in a lefty. Time to sell some stuff.

[@intheblues]

Oh yeah! There's a big purge video coming up. Offloading a LOT of stuff :)

[@50Something]

Congrats, this really suits you Shane!

[@porbital]

Just bought this guitar earlier this month. Love this guitar more than my les paul traditional and standard. Never would have expected that. First p90 guitar and it's the sound I've been missing.

[@adamski101]

How do you find the hardcase? Mine doesn't seem to fit the guitar properly! The lid from thr point the neck meets the body doesn't want to close and the latches distort the lid as I close them. I swapped the case for another and ot's exactly the same!

[@porbital]

@@adamski101 I did notice that when I took the guitar home. It seemed like the toggle switch was getting in the way but I'm not sure. I know it's a thinner case than the les paul traditional or standard. It's been sitting on my guitar rack since then so I haven't thought about it. Definitely a tighter fit than my other les Paul's and sg.

[@bdonova1]

I have a 1976-77 double-cut away. I think it was first time they re-issued the Special. They've always been known as TV yellow, but Gibson called it "Limed mahogany". I just ordered the Harley-Benton single pick-up based on your review.

[@backlom]

Congratulations Dude! Great choice. A workhorse of an instrument!

[@jamalabdul2009]

I’ve seen Southpaw Guitars literally sell out of this very guitar and ordered more! I plan on trying one out tomorrow afternoon when I go up there! Once again congratulations on a great guitar!! Cheers mate!🎸🎸🎸🎼🎵🎵🤙🏾

[@linheitzig6916]

I played one Saturday at my local guitar store and ordered one yesterday. Like you, the first thing I said when the salesman handed it to me was "damn, it doesn't weigh anything" Can't wait to get it!

[@davej554]

Congrats! You’ve got m VERY interested in that model now

[@Zoso981]

That guitar is a work of art! I recently bought my first Gibson P90 L.P. and the tones and playability are unreal. It's put me off Humbuckers for good. Cool videos!

[@chazjr2390]

Ooohh!!! I WANT! I sold a P90 tribute Les Paul last year and miss the tones. My next purchase will be P90's again.

[@Mauitaoist]

I recently bought a 2011 Epiphone Les Paul junior custom shop 1957 reissue in TV yellow its a great guitar can't put it down. It has a p100 in it though, so I think I'm going to change it. I want that P90 sound thanks for posting Shane

[@rob28781]

I had a Les Paul as found them just too heavy. This has always been my alternative. Need to try one soon

[@patrickbrown8540]

That sounds and looks great! I like yellow also. I am a Fender guy but if I ever were to get a Les Paul I would def it want P90s, I do not care for humbucker a. Great playing also!

[@robertpurdy4452]

This is such a home run for Gibson. I know at first, I'd grab any lefty I could find then went to finding the ones that weren't the same two or three models and colors you'd find in every shop. Now, I'm to the point where I'm trying to settle on "The Keepers." The ones like my Explorer, Schecter C-1 Hellraiser Passive FR, and recently an Ibanez RG5EX1L, which has one of the most amazing necks I've ever tried along with the Hellraiser, and my Squier Contemporary Strat - the cheapest guitar I have (paid $177 new). Each of them just gets out of the way and I never have to fight them and I think they just make me play better, be more creative, etc.

[@jamesmarcin4787]

Love your new guitar. Sounds and looks great. I just got a brand new Gibson Les Paul Classic in Heritage Cherry Sunburst for my 50th birthday and I love it. Best playing and sounding Gibson I have played in years. Gibson really stepped up their game. It came set up perfectly right from the factory. Enjoy your new guitar 😃🎸🎶

[@GuitarHack66]

That's gorgeous. I love TV yellow and p90s rock. I love them in my les Paul classic. Congratulations Shane. Cheers

[@intheblues]

Cheers mate!

[@mariomandawe7669]

Thats a beautiful guitar and i love the tone!

[@jordanpratt3821]

Yeah I love mine. The tone alone is worth every penny. It's funny though you said it's more yellow than you thought it would be.I thought mine was waaaay less yellow than I anticipated. Makes me wonder of the finishes are that different??

[@DavidHBurkart]

The Special is always a winner. Love TV Yellow... just like the Butterscotch Teles

[@Deteroblix]

Just saw Sweetwater's guy demoing a righty one on instagram today. Noticed the righty comes with post adjustable hardened compensated tailpiece. Us lefties have the standard tailpiece....

It's an amazing guitar. I have one and love it. The guitar was released by Gibson in 1955, and in 1956 it's first full year of production, it out sold the standard Gold Top. Check out Five Watt World's video on the history of the model.
