TV Yellow, No Nonsense – Les Paul Special With Bite
This is the classic Les Paul Special recipe turned up in all the right ways. Slab mahogany body, dual P 90s and a chunky 50s neck that hits that sweet spot between vintage vibe and modern playability.
If you want that raw, midrange punch that cuts through a loud band without getting mushy, this TV Yellow Special delivers. It is stripped down, honest and built to go from sweaty clubs to studio dates without blinking.
Slab Mahogany Body, TV Yellow Heritage
The solid mahogany, single cut slab body is where that signature roar comes from. It keeps the guitar lively and immediate under your hands, with a fast attack and a focused, vocal midrange that loves overdrive.
The gloss nitrocellulose TV Yellow finish is pure old school Gibson attitude. Nitro lets the wood breathe and resonate in a way thick poly cannot, so you get more bloom, more sustain and a finish that will wear in, not wear out.
50s Vintage Neck That Feels Like Home
The mahogany neck with its 50s Vintage profile has some meat on it, but it is not a baseball bat. It fills your hand in a really satisfying way, which does wonders for sustain and vibrational transfer into that mahogany body.
A bound rosewood fingerboard with a 12 inch radius and 22 medium jumbo frets keeps things smooth for bends, slides and big chords. Acrylic dot inlays keep the look vintage correct and the set neck joint keeps everything feeling solid and resonant under your fingers.
Dual P 90s – Raw, Punchy And Honest
The beauty of this guitar is in the pickups. A P 90 in the bridge gives you that snarling, aggressive grind that still has clarity and top end cut. It is perfect for crunchy classic rock, punk downstrokes and anything that needs attitude.
Flip to the neck and you get a thicker, rounder voice that still has that single coil chime. It is killer for blues, soul lines and warm rhythm parts that do not disappear in the mix. Hand wired electronics with Orange Drop capacitors keep the response dynamic and musical, and the dual volumes and tones plus toggle switch let you fine tune the blend right from the guitar.
Simple Hardware, Serious Resonance
The wraparound bridge keeps string path and contact simple, which means great sustain and a really direct, connected feel. Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons and nickel hardware keep things stable and give you that classic Gibson look on the headstock.
Black top hat knobs, black pickguard, black jack plate and trim pull the whole TV Yellow aesthetic together. Strung from the factory with 10 46s, it is ready to cover anything from tight rhythm work to singing leads without feeling flimsy.
