Gibson USA LPMCS25EBCH1 Les Paul Music City Special Electric Guitar - Ebony

Celebrating five decades since Gibson’s Nashville facility opened its doors—alongside the debut of the unique Marauder—the Gibson Les Paul Music City Special 50th Anniversary electric guitar offers a tastefully updated twist on Bill Lawrence’s original design, with a nod to the Les Paul Music City Jr. of the early 2010s. Archetypal Nashville-inspired Gibson tones are fully on tap with a pair of ’70s Tribute humbuckers, delivering the punchy, dynamic sound that helped define an era. The familiar single-cut hourglass body gets a fresh take with refined top and back contouring, while the lively maple set neck is carved with a smooth SlimTaper profile for exceptional playability. And of course, no Gibson fan can overlook the standout 50th Anniversary–emblazoned Flying V–style headstock—an unmistakable tribute to Gibson’s storied legacy. Available now at Sadek Music — your destination for rare, limited-edition Gibson guitars and timeless tone. Production is limited, so don’t miss your chance to own this groovy gem!

Classic shape, comfortable feel

This 6-string’s unmistakable Les Paul silhouette and standard 24.75-inch scale length are about all the two models have in common, as its solid and contoured poplar body helpfully prioritizes weight reduction and flush-playing comfort for the player. Similarly, the SlimTaper maple neck and 12-inch-radius striped ebony fingerboard equally mobilize lead lines, chord progressions, and solos with highly maneuverable efficiency. Be it a lengthy stage set, an enduring jam session, or meticulous tracking work in the studio, the Les Paul Music City Special 50th Anniversary is one axe you’ll be happy to welcome over the shoulder.

Era-honoring tones with modern flexibility

Bringing the voice of the Les Paul Music City Special 50th Anniversary to life are Gibson’s ’70s Tribute humbucking pickups—aptly named for their heightened output, scorching heat, extra winds, and Alnico V magnets. The result is a heavy-hitting pair optimized for overdrive, offering a boosted signal level and wax potting to eliminate feedback that cooler pickups might encounter at high volumes. This setup delivers a punchy presence with enough breathing room to handle dropped tunings and modern heavy styles with ease. With dedicated lead and rhythm variants on board—plus a streamlined Master Volume and Tone control layout and 3-way toggle—this Anniversary model is your first-class ticket to high-impact, era-accurate Nashville tones. Now available at Sadek Music — your trusted source for exclusive Gibson guitars and tone-driven craftsmanship.

Fortified and sharply stylized

Resilient chrome-plated hardware throughout includes a set of Grover Mini Rotomatic tuning machines, a Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge, and an aluminum stopbar tailpiece, providing you with dependable playability for hours of flawless music making. Old-school touches like its extended pickguard, black top hat knobs, and arrowhead-style headstock pour on the vintage allure, while the commemorative truss rod cover offers a seal of distinction to solidify your Les Paul Music City Special 50th Anniversary’s spot in Gibson history. Only a limited number of guitarists can claim one in this throwback finish — will you be one of them?
