When Gibson first launched the Les Paul™ Special in 1955, it was designed as a more refined version of the Les Paul Junior—featuring two pickups instead of one and upgraded visual details like a mother-of-pearl headstock logo inlay and a bound fretboard. This made it an intermediate model between the elegant Les Paul Standard and the student-focused Les Paul Junior. By 1958, the body was updated to a double cutaway design, allowing easier access to the upper frets, while in 1960, the neck was reshaped with a SlimTaper™ profile for improved stability and faster playability. Now, Epiphone proudly introduces the Les Paul Special Double Cut, available at Sadek Music, as part of its Inspired by Gibson collection—a faithful recreation of those early 1960s models.
It features a solid mahogany double-cutaway body for effortless fretboard access and a glued-in mahogany neck with a 60s SlimTaper profile. The bound rosewood fretboard includes 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid dot inlays for a smooth, classic feel. The 1960s Kalamazoo-style headstock features Epiphone’s vintage three-on-a-plate tuners with ivory buttons, a Graph Tech® nut for rock-solid tuning stability, and the iconic Epiphone logo inlaid in mother-of-pearl. At the bridge, an Epiphone Lightning Bar compensated wraparound ensures enhanced sustain and resonance.
Powering this model are two Epiphone P-90 PRO™ single-coil Soapbar pickups, delivering everything from crisp, clean tones to gritty, overdriven power. Each pickup includes individual volume and tone controls for exceptional tonal flexibility. The new Epiphone Les Paul Special Double Cut is truly special in every way—classic tone, iconic style, and modern reliability—now available at Sadek Music.
