Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
In Wine Red, the Les Paul Music City Special 50th Anniversary is a right-handed, six-string Les Paul with a lightweight contoured poplar body and a maple SlimTaper neck. The striped ebony fingerboard has 22 medium-jumbo frets and a 12-inch radius. Gibson '70s Tribute humbuckers feed a three-way toggle, master volume and master tone, making it easy to move between neck, bridge and combined pickup settings. Nashville Tune-O-Matic and aluminum stopbar hardware are paired with Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners. A commemorative truss rod cover and softshell case are listed.
