Epiphone Les Paul Special Satin E1 Electric Guitar - Worn Vintage Sunburst

The Epiphone Les Paul Special VE, available at Sadek Music, delivers a broken-in look and feel at an unbeatable price.

Its acoustically resonant poplar body is paired with a mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard, adding warmth, sustain, and comfortable playability. Finished in a cool vintage worn style that feels instantly familiar, the Epiphone Les Paul Special VE is the ideal choice for players who want classic Les Paul tone and style without breaking the bank.

Iconic Les Paul's heritage

Since its release in the early 1950s, the Les Paul has been one of the most popular solid-body electric guitars in the world. It's used in genres ranging from country to metal and can be found in the hands of players as diverse as Zakk Wylde, Neil Young, and the man whose name adorns the headstock. These dual-humbucker beauties are capable of sounds that are rich, warm, and clear, while they can get aggressive, cutting, and mean with little effort. Just about every guitarist at Sadek Music has a Les Paul in their collection—and for good reason.

Quality Tonewoods

The Epiphone Les Paul Special VE, available at Sadek Music, delivers the fatness and clarity you’d expect from its more expensive Les Paul counterparts. This is thanks in large part to its poplar body, a respected tonewood known for balanced tone and excellent sustain. Staying true to the legendary Les Paul formula, it also features a mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard, enhancing warmth, sustain, and rich harmonic content.

Epiphone's vintage worn finish

Worn finishes, such as the Les Paul Special VE's vintage worn finish, are incredibly popular for the way they lend an air of vintage vibe to an instrument while giving the sought-after feel of a guitar that's been played for years. The vintage worn finish isn't as glossy as some finishes and mimics the way older instruments age. Its feel also helps the guitar seem smoother and faster when playing hot gigs that can cause you to sweat. And best of all, the vintage worn finish will only look better with age.
