Epiphone Les Paul Special Double Cut Cherry Red

Available from Gear4Music at £469.00 ($596).

The Epiphone Les Paul Special Double Cut is a modern take on the early 60s models that helped cement the Special as one of the most characterful guitars in the Les Paul family. Originally introduced in the 50s as a more refined sibling to the Junior the Special evolved into a double-cutaway design by 1958 giving players better upper-fret access and a sleeker overall feel. This Inspired by Gibson revival brings back the spirit of those early 60s guitars with upgraded reliability and a vintage-approved look. Its slab mahogany double-cut body gives the guitar a lively resonant acoustic voice while the 60s SlimTaper neck feels fast and familiar topped with a bound rosewood fingerboard and pearloid dot inlays. A pair of Epiphone P-90 PRO Soapbars deliver everything from bright chiming cleans to snarling overdrive with independent volume and tone controls for shaping your sound. The Lightning Bar compensated wraparound bridge is bolted directly into the body for great sustain and the three-on-a-plate Deluxe tuners add classic style. Finished in vintage-inspired Cherry Red and supplied with a premium gig bag its an iconic Special made for modern players.
