Epiphone IBG Les Paul Special Double Cut - cherry red

EPIPHONE Inspired By Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cu (EILSDCHNH1) is an affordable replica of the original Gibson The Les Paul™ Special. When Gibson first launched the Les Paul™ Special in 1955, it was intended to be a fancier version of the Les Paul Junior, with two pickups instead of the Junior’s single pickup and a bit of enhanced visual appeal courtesy of a mother of pearl headstock logo inlay and a bound fretboard, creating an intermediate model that sat between the more elegant Les Paul Standard and the student model Les Paul Junior. In 1958, the body was modified to a double cutaway, providing improved access to the entire length of the fretboard. The Les Paul Special hit its stride in 1960 when the neck pickup position was slightly relocated. The neck was changed to a faster-playing SlimTaper™ profile, resulting in improved neck stability and making it easier to play than ever.
