Special II — A Les Paul at an Amazing Price!

A streamlined Epiphone Special at an amazing price! A little smaller and weighing less than many of the Les Paul axes you’ll encounter, the Special II nonetheless delivers a fat and nasty tone thanks to its two open coil humbucker pickups. The Special ii features a mahogany body and neck, rosewood fretboard with a 1.68” nut width, chrome hardware, and volume/tone controls. This is the “go-to” guitar for those who want to learn on a Les Paul style quitar but don’t want to break the bank.

  • Color: Vintage Sunburst
  • Body Wood: Mahogany
  • Neck Wood: Mahogany
  • Neck Profile: Bolt-on, 1-11/16" nut

The intonation up and down the fret board is spot on, and the tuners feel like they'll last a good long while. Very happy with it, and will definitely get hours of enjoyment from this ax.
