About this product

Product Information

The Epiphone Les Paul Special II Electric Guitar is a much-loved model produced by Epiphone, and when you hold one of these musical instruments in your hands, you will understand why. It delivers the characteristic sound found in the original Gibson models and is an excellent guitar for both beginners and experienced guitarists. Affordable and stylish, this quality guitar is likely to become one of your favorite pieces of gear thanks to its superb tonality and visual appeal.Les Paul guitars from Epiphone feature mahogany construction of the body and neck. This construction creates a warm tone that is rich and fat across the entire tonal range from bass to treble. Bass notes sound especially resonant, making this a great instrument for playing power chords. Whether you are playing loud solos or smooth blues riffs through your favorite amp, the hardwoods bring out every nuance of your personal style. The fingerboard is made of rosewood, which offers comfort when making complex chord shapes, and the fingerboard radius is 12 inches. The neck joint features bolt-on construction and is fashioned in a 1960s Slim-Taper "D" profile. This neck shape lends itself to speed and precision, and it also makes the Les Paul Special II good for young players and those with small hands. The Special II is a wonderful gift for a child that is a beginner. You'll be starting them on the exciting path of musicianship as well as encouraging their appreciation of the Gibson Les Paul. They’ll be able to enjoy the quality of these Les Paul Epiphone standard size guitars for many years. Dual humbucking pickups are used on this electric guitar for authentic Les Paul tones. There is an Epiphone 650R Humbucker at the neck and an Epiphone 700T Humbucker at the bridge. The pickup selection is easily controlled with a three-way toggle switch, and the guitar has one control knob each for volume and tone. While the overall quality of the tone is impressive, you’ll also appreciate its capacity for volume. The notes ring out just as clear as they do on fine acoustic guitars.A Tune-o-Matic bridge on the Special II has long been the standard on Gibson Les Paul models because it offers the lengthy, screaming sustain prized by rockers from Jimmy Page to Ace Frehley. A stop-bar tailpiece also adds to the sustain of this instrument. These elements also make it easy to replace the strings when necessary even for a beginner. The nickel hardware on the model looks great under the lights of a stage. The finish is classy, giving the guitar a look that hearkens back to the days of Les Paul himself. The guitar is available in vintage sunburst, black, or heritage cherry sunburst.You could easily take this Epiphone Les Paul into the studio or play it on the road because the tone is simply that good. Whatever type of music you prefer or whatever your skill level, this is an instrument for those musicians who appreciate fine craftsmanship. The Epiphone Les Paul Special II Electric Guitar is available in both right and left-handed models. Cases for the guitar and other accessories are sold separately. The scale length is 24.75 inches, and the Special II guitar weighs approximately 7.9 pounds.

    2017 Gibson Les Paul Tribute Gold Top USA

    Per the specs you can find on the internet, has the thicker rosewood fingerboard and the slim taper neck, otherwise is normal Gibson specs. As I have a lot if Jackson/Charvel/Ibanez/Fender guitars, I found the slim taper neck shape a lot more to my liking than the regular thicker Les Paul neck, so the neck on this guitar is comfortable and easy to play. The 490T bridge pickup is decent, but I prefer more output. I swapped the pickup for a 498T (~14k) which was very easy to do if you find one with the plastic connector that fits the PCB board. Interesting to note is that the neck and bridge are wired in different phase so the middle position on the pickup selector gives a fairly decent single coil-ish clean tone. Good playing guitar with low action.

    Epiphone L.P. Special II

    This solid-body electric guitar is a great value for beginners or experienced players alike. The quality that is built into the instrument is apparent right out of the box. The guitar features dual humbuckers, chrome hardware, a stop tailpiece with tune-o-matic bridge, a bolt-on 22 fret neck, one volume/one tone knob with a 3-way pickup selector switch (bridge pickup, neck pickup, or both), and a good selection of colors-ebony, white, wine red (with black hardware), vintage sunburst or cherry sunburst. The newer units have basswood bodies which are lighter, but the older ones (like mine) are solid mahogany, pretty heavy but with better tone and sustain in my opinion. The stock pickups have very good tone for such an inexpensive guitar. I upgraded mine with USA-made Carvin humbuckers (H22N ...

    It's like getting a Steak & Lobster dinner on a Bologna Sandwich budget!

    A nicer "Axe" than you might think at first, but well worth the purchase. Inexpensive "little brother" Epiphone makes a nice instrument that resembles the feel of an SG neck with the body of a 'Paul Jr. with dual-humbuckers and the classic stop tailpiece with a Tune-o-matic bridge. The one I got is Clear Red Mahogany and it is BEAUTIFUL!! If you know how to do a set-up on your guitar, great, you can get yourself squared away easily and save a couple of bucks along the way. If you don't and are not feeling adventurous enough to try it yourself, just take it to the Music store of your choice, pick out a set of strings you want and tell the Luthier/Tech that you want a "Full Shampoo & Set" on your Axe. They will know that you're asking them to ...

    Good for a beginner bad for anything more. would only recommend to a novice

    I rate four stars four stars for beginners, and 2 stars for anything above beginner. I bought this guitar a few years ago as one of my first guitars, and it has served me well. But it can not keep up with my sound needs at all. It is a nice guitar, perfectly suitable for anyone who wishes to learn the guitar, but if you want to record music with it, you will have problems. It is alright for recording metal, and maybe some blues, but since there's so much basswood on it, it does not resonate with the high notes very well. The lower 3 strings are noticeably louder when plugged into an amp, and the upper 3 strings can barely be heard. It could also suffice as a knock-around travel guitar for a professional, but nothing more. You get what you pay for. This is most definitely ...

    Project Guitar

    Wanted a cheap project guitar so I gutted this Special II and put in completely new electronics. Brand new Bridge, Alnico wax sealed pups, brand new harness with larger pots, locking tuners, and a graphite nut. Guitar sounds better than most $200 guitars and more like a $300-$500 epiphone so I’m happy with putting all that work in. This is a great guitar to start with and make small mods as you grow.
