Epiphone Les Paul Special II Electric Guitar CherryBurst
The Epiphone Les Paul Special II is following on from the original model which has been targeted at the beginner or first time player. It offers a well manufactured Les Paul guitar to thousands of musicians who otherwise could not have had access to the genuine Gibson model. As many of you will know Epiphone has been reproducing replica copies of the Gibson Les Paul under licence after Epiphone were purchased by Gibson several years ago
The Epiphone Les Paul Special was the original entry level offering that made its debut in 2006 and has now been supplemented by the Les Paul Special II. The main difference between the original and the LP Special II is the choice of woods on the body, the original was laminated Mahogany whilst the Special II features a laminated Alder/Maple body.
The neck however is still made from Mahogany with a Rosewood finger board, like the original the body is flat and therefore devoid of the curved top as on the Les Paul standard and custom models. The pick-ups are hum-bucking open coil type and the bridge tail and machine heads are chrome plated. This particular model is available in several finishes that include Ebony, Heritage cherry sunburst, Vintage Sunburst, White, and Wine red with black hardware.
