Description
The Epiphone Les Paul Special Double Cut is a no-frills rocker with deep roots in Gibson history. Originally introduced in the late '50s as a step up from the Junior, the Special added a second pickup and just enough extra detail to give it a look and feel all its own. This version keeps the spirit of the early '60s models alive, offering a stripped-back mahogany body and great upper fret access thanks to its double cutaway design. It's a great choice for players who want vintage tone with modern playability.
Under the hood, you're getting two Epiphone P-90 PRO Soapbar pickups, which deliver everything from warm, chiming cleans to full-throttle overdrive with attitude. The SlimTaper 60s-style neck profile and bound rosewood fingerboard make it easy to move around on, whether you're holding down rhythm or cutting through with leads. Each pickup has its own volume and tone control, making this a deceptively versatile setup for a guitar that looks this simple.
Tuning stability is handled by Epiphone Deluxe tuners with ivory buttons, plus a Graph Tech nut. The wraparound Lightning Bar bridge bolts right into the body for increased resonance and sustain, and the vintage-style Kalamazoo headstock rounds out the look. If you're looking for something that feels like a throwback but performs like a modern workhorse, this one hits a sweet spot. We've always loved how responsive and honest these are to play.
