The Epiphone Les Paul Special Doublecut channels the rebellious spirit and stripped-down elegance of the early-’60s Les Paul Special with vintage-inspired styling, resonant tonewoods, and classic double-cut performance. Finished in a bold Cherry Red Vintage Gloss, the slab mahogany body delivers rich sustain and midrange warmth while the symmetrical double-cutaway design offers a sleek, unmistakably retro silhouette. From the bound rosewood fingerboard and mother-of-pearl headstock logo to the vintage-style Kalamazoo headstock and wraparound bridge, every detail reflects the character of the legendary originals that inspired it.

Powered by a pair of Epiphone P-90 PRO Soapbar pickups, the Les Paul Special Double Cut delivers the raw, dynamic voice that made P-90-equipped guitars iconic. Clean tones ring with sparkle and articulation, while overdriven settings unleash gritty mids, snarling bite, and expressive harmonic response. Independent volume and tone controls for each pickup provide impressive tonal flexibility, allowing players to shape everything from warm blues textures to aggressive garage-rock grind with ease. 

Built for fast, comfortable playing, the glued-in mahogany neck features a slim and easy-playing 60s SlimTaper profile that feels smooth and responsive across the entire fretboard. The 22 medium jumbo frets and fingerboard create a familiar, broken-in feel that encourages effortless chording, lead work, and expressive bends. Combined with the lightweight body and exceptional upper fret access, the Les Paul Special Double Cut delivers vintage-inspired feel with modern reliability, making it equally suited for stage performance, studio sessions, and everyday inspiration.
