Epiphone Les Paul Special Double Cut Figured Electric Guitar - Ocean Water

The Les Paul Special, taken to the next level

The Gibson Les Paul™ Special was designed as an enhanced version of the Les Paul Junior, featuring two P-90 pickups compared to the Junior’s single P-90 pickup for increased sonic flexibility. It also added fretboard binding and a mother-of-pearl headstock logo, giving it a bit more visual appeal as well and creating an intermediate model that sat between the fancier Les Paul Standard and the Les Paul Junior in the product lineup. The Les Paul Special was first released as a single-cutaway model in 1955, but by 1958, it had transitioned to a double-cutaway body, offering improved access to the upper range of the fretboard. A change to a thinner SlimTaper™ neck profile and lower rhythm pickup positioning in 1960 brought improved neck stability and made it easier to play than ever.
