1957 Gibson Les Paul TV Special

1957 Gibson Les Paul TV Special

A stunning, super clean example - this 1957 Les Paul TV Special captures everything collectors and players love about ’50s Gibson workmanship, quality of woods and components. Finished in its iconic TV Yellow, this model was designed to stand out under early television lighting but today it remains one of the most recognisable and desirable vintage Gibson finishes made.

This guitar is in superb condition and aside from an extra strap button hole, which has been filled, presents as a wonderfully honest, original instrument with just the right amount of vintage character. 

The mahogany body and neck deliver the warm, open resonance you only get from a well-aged ’50s Gibson, while the original P-90 pickups with close DC resistance readings, offer that perfect blend of bite, bloom, and musical compression. Whether clean or overdriven, the guitar is responsive, lively and full of character.

The neck is classic ’57 - a comfortable, full C-profile that fills the hand without feeling bulky - an incredibly playable carve that many consider the sweet spot of the era. Original electronics, plastics, and hardware remain intact, with the expected patina consistent with nearly seven decades of gentle use. It retains its original small frets which still have good life left in them and overall the guitar plays very well.

The finish has aged beautifully, retaining its rich 'wheaty' TV hue with tasteful checking and minor wear that only adds to its vintage appeal and character.

A superb instrument for the collector, the vintage Gibson enthusiast, or the player who wants real ’50s tone and feel without compromise. 

An inspiring, investment-worthy 1957 TV Special. An iconic model from a superb period of Gibson production that has shown considerable interest and value rise in recent times.
Includes a clean '70s Gibson Les Paul hard case.
