The Les Paul™ Music City Special – 50th Anniversary is an updated, modern twist on two 
historical Gibson models, taking much of its inspiration from the 70s-era Marauder that 
was designed by Bill Lawrence, with a touch of the Music City Jr. in its DNA. Over the 
years, the Marauder has been used by artists from Adam Jones to Paul Stanley. This 
unique commemorative model pays tribute to the early days of Gibson’s Nashville 
production and celebrates Gibson’s 50 years of producing world-class guitars in Music 
City while delivering outstanding value to modern players. The lightweight, contoured 
body is solid poplar. The maple neck has a fast-playing and comfortable SlimTaper™ 
profile and is equipped with a striped ebony fretboard that is adorned with acrylic dot 
inlays and outfitted with 22 medium jumbo frets. The 12” fretboard radius makes 
first-position chords and string bends higher up the fretboard equally effortless. The 
hardware is chrome-plated, including the Nashville Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners, and output jack plate cover. A black 5-ply 
pickguard holds two Gibson 70s Tribute humbucker™ pickups, which are wired to an 
intuitive and comfortable control layout consisting of master volume and master tone 
controls with black Top Hat knobs and a three-way pickup selector toggle switch. A 
premium soft shell case is included to keep the Les Paul Music City Special - 50th 
Anniversary safe when stored or in transport. The Les Paul Music City Special - 50th 
Anniversary is available in Ebony, Wine Red, and Tobacco Burst gloss nitrocellulose 
lacquer finishes, and each has a commemorative 50th Anniversary truss rod cover. The 
Les Paul Music City Special - 50th Anniversary model is limited to only 500 instruments in 
each of the three colors, so make sure you get your favorite while you still can!
