Out of curiosity, how much did you pay for this Les Paul Special?

I actually picked up a 2012 Gibson Les Paul Special in Heritage Cherry at a GC for $500 about a week ago. I'm extremely happy with it. It's my first guitar with P90s.

Thanks for the post. I paid $500 for mine too.It's the cats meow!

Cat's meow for sure. $500 is a great price. I love mine, but TV Yellow would have been a better color for me.

That cat looks like my cat, Karloff. Scary!

Thanks! The Red looks awesome! This model(Les Paul Junior Special) is discontinued now.

It's bad to see that Gibson discontinues some interesting models and I'm not a Gibson purist at all. I will be missing Melody Maker line, I would be happy if Gibson resurected Kalamazoo KG electrics - Mustang style body that is a slab of maple and not masonite like on originals, Fender-style maple necks, tune-o-matic and vintage style Melody Maker pickup with bar magnet unlike the modern pickups. With a street price under $400 I would buy one.

Hey, westtexasred. Have you tried those 70's tributes with maple neck and newly constructed mini humbuckers which are also discontinued? I think this line is totally underrated and will be sought by players in some period of time. I suspect that those new alnico mini humbuckers are some of the best pickups that were designed by Gibson.

Thanks. These are such awesome guitars. I'm glad I was able to find one. I'm really loving the P90s.
