Product Description

What's so special about the Epiphone Les Paul Special II Electric Guitar? The super-low price for starters and that's not all. It gives you all the essential elements of a Les Paul. Made with a mahogany body, bolt-on mahogany neck, smooth 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, this baby is every bit as handsome as its uptown cousins. Features 700T/650R open-coil humbucking pickups that deliver long, singing sustain and true Les Paul tones. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece add more sustain and make string changing easier. Limited lifetime warranty. Strings: D'Addario; 10, 13, 17, 26, 36, 46

Epiphone's Most Popular Model

Epiphone's most popular model, the Les Paul Special-II E1, is a great way for beginners to get started on guitar while getting the feel and tone of a Les Paul. Seasoned pros also love the Special-II E1 because it's a great-sounding workhorse of a guitar that allows them to leave their more expensive axes at home.
