Description
1974 Gibson Les Paul Special ’55 Reissue w/case. The Gibson Les Paul 55, as the name suggests, was a reissue of the 1955 Gibson Les Paul Special, produced in the mid and late 1970s. It was broadly accurate to the original (see the 1955 Gibson catalogue), but with a sunburst (rather than mahogany) finish. It started life as a limited edition guitar, and therefore not appearing in catalogues or price lists at the time. But it sold well enough to join the Gibson line proper a little later. The vast majority of all Les Paul 55s were produced in 1974, at Gibson’s Kalamazoo factory. There were only 1,925 shipped in 1974.
