Our take on the Gibson Les Paul Special with Mini Humbuckers

The Les Paul Special with Mini Humbuckers is a mahogany solidbody built on the 1955 Special platform, swapping the usual P-90s for a pair of Gibson mini humbuckers. The mini humbuckers drop into the same P-90-sized cavities and give hum-free operation with a brighter, more open voice than full-size PAF-style humbuckers. It keeps the vintage recipe: 24.75-inch scale, rosewood board with a 12-inch radius, medium jumbo frets, 50s Vintage neck profile and gloss nitrocellulose finish. It suits players who want Les Paul Junior simplicity with two pickups and no single-coil hum, and it is sold only through Gibson and the Gibson Garage, so it sits apart from the standard P-90 Special in the lineup.

Best forPlayers who want hum-free Les Paul Special toneFans of brighter, open humbucker voicesGuitarists who prefer a chunky 50s neckCollectors of limited Gibson direct-only runs
Pros
  • Mini humbuckers fit the P-90 cavities and cancel hum
  • Brighter, more open tone than standard PAF-style humbuckers
  • Two pickups with individual volume controls for blending
  • Classic Special build: mahogany body, bound rosewood board
  • Hardshell case included
Cons
  • Sold only through Gibson and Gibson Garage, so no wide retail availability
  • Not the classic P-90 sound many Special fans expect
  • Chunky 50s Vintage profile is not for players who like slim necks
  • Gloss nitro finish is delicate and shows wear

About the Gibson Les Paul Special with Mini Humbuckers

The Les Paul Special with Mini Humbuckers is a take on the classic Les Paul Special. It has a pair of Gibson mini humbucker pickups in place of the usual P-90s. They are the same size as a P-90 and slightly smaller than regular humbuckers, so they fit the same pickup cavity. They are low-noise and hum-free, with a slightly brighter, more open tone than standard humbuckers. The tone combines some of the brightness of a P-90 with some of the warmth of a humbucker.

The guitar has a slab mahogany body and a mahogany neck with a 50s Vintage profile. The bound rosewood fretboard has 22 medium jumbo frets and acrylic dot inlays. Each pickup has its own volume and tone controls, hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors.

The wraparound bridge provides sustain. Vintage Deluxe tuning machines with white buttons and a low-friction Graph Tech nut support tuning stability. A Gibson hardshell case is included.

Questions and answers

How do mini humbuckers differ from the P-90s on a standard Special?
They are the same footprint, so they drop into the P-90 cavities, but they are true humbuckers: no 60-cycle hum and a brighter, more open top end than a P-90's thicker midrange.
How does it compare with a regular Les Paul Special?
Same mahogany body, 24.75-inch scale and 50s neck, but this version adds mini humbuckers and is sold only through Gibson and the Gibson Garage rather than through regular dealers.
What neck profile does it have?
A 50s Vintage profile on a rosewood board with a 12-inch radius and medium jumbo frets, so it feels full in the hand rather than slim.
Does it come with a case?
Yes, it ships with a hardshell case.
Is it good for rock and blues?
Yes. The mini humbuckers keep clarity and bite for blues and classic rock, and the individual volume controls let you blend the two pickups.
How many frets and what scale length?
22 frets on a 24.75-inch scale, with a 1.7-inch nut width.
