I've never seen anything like this as it's actually just like a Les Paul Special but with a narrow neck made for 4 strings. The pickup covers have dot pearl inlay where the 1st and 6th pole pieces would be on a normal Special. It's ALL ORIGINAL and 100% complete including its orginal brown/pink lined Gibson hardshell case which is the same case for a '58 Les Paul Standard. The neck feels and plays great as the frets are in great shape. There are lots of nicks + dings and cosmetic as well as some minor finish cracks. Overall it looks AMAZING as the TV Yellow as maintained its color very well. All electronics work and all solder joints remain original and unbroken. Weighs 7 lbs. 4oz. The neck P-90 reads 8.18 and the bridge reads 8.09. This guitar lists in the 2008 Vintage Guitar Price Guide for $9,500 - $13,000! Highest bidder pays highest bid + shipping.
