Gibson Introduces Les Paul Special New Century

Thu, Feb 23, 2006

Gibson Les Paul Special New CenturyIf you really like to sparkle and shine on stage, or hey…if you just like to look at yourself every chance you get, you might take a look at Gibson’s latest creation – the Les Paul Special New Century.

Yep, just announced at this year’s NAMM, this beauty is expected to offer all the smooth playability and traditional tone you’d expect from a Les Paul, but with a full-frontal mirrored pickguard to damned well guarantee your fans will be blinded by your radiance! ;)

All kidding aside, though, the Les Paul Special New Century looks like another winning combination of muscle, guts, and singular style: besides the mirrored pickguard it sports two Alnico magnet humbucker pickups (490R & 498T,) a solid mahogany body, mirrored dot inlays, and chrome-finished hardware.

The Gibson Les Paul Special New Century Features–

  • Mahogany Body
  • Mahogany Neck
  • Ebony Fretboard With 22 Frets
  • Mirrored Dot Inlays
  • Mirrored Pickguard
  • Dual Alnico Magnet Humbuckers
  • Two Volume & Two Tone Controls
  • 3-Way Pickup Switching
  • Gibson Deluxe Tuners

Oh, and Gibson throws in a black reptile-patterned hard case, to keep your shiny new investment well protected from the screaming masses…
