The Fender J5 Telecaster Electric Guitar was designed in collaboration with John 5, the highly regarded guitarist for Marilyn Manson, k.d. lange, and David Lee Roth. This Tele covers a wide range of music genres. Equipped with an Enforcer humbucking bridge pickup and a Custom Shop Twisted Tele neck pickup, separate volume controls for each pickup, a 3-way selector, and a 3-over/3-under tuner array. Radically different headstock design and chrome pickguard give it a distinctive look.

In 1959, the Les Paul Standard made a change to wider, fatter jumbo frets which made it a more facile guitar. The significance of this change wouldn't be felt until the late '60s when Clapton, Bloomfield, Peter Green, and other emerging guitarists discovered its warm, thick BurstBucker voice and fast, smooth and easy-playing neck. Then the Les Paul began its ascent toward ultimate icon status. Like all VOS (Vintage Original Spec) Series instruments, the 1959 Les Paul Standard VOS is handcrafted for comfort and playability in the Gibson Custom Shop. The construction, neck profile, hardware, and electronics are period accurate, and a special nitrocellulose finish treatment gives it the patina of a gently aged vintage guitar. Includes Gibson Custom Shop case, a certificate of authenticity, and custom care kit.Free Gift Offer - while supplies last!

The two-pickup Les Paul Special was introduced in 1955 as an intermediate model, positioned between the low-cost Les Paul Junior and the Les paul Model. Originally available only in a single cutaway, TV-style limed mahogany finish, the Special was changed in 1959 to a double cutaway model and a cherry red finish was added to the mix. The Double-Cut is now part of Gibson's Vintage Original Spec series - the next step in the journey toward perfection.
