What's so special about the Epiphone Les Paul Special II Electric Guitar? The super-low price for starters and that's not all. It gives you all the essential elements of a Les Paul. Made with a basswood body, bolt-on mahogany neck, smooth 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, this baby is every bit as handsome as its uptown cousins. Features 700T/650R open-coil humbucking pickups that deliver long, singing sustain and true Les Paul tones. Limited lifetime warranty...

That trademark Les Paul shape in an economical package, including to open-coil Alnico V Humbucker pickups for great classic sound and the Tune-o-matic bridge/Stopbar tailpiece combo for sustain and that signature Les Paul tone./p h2Les Paul Features in an Economical Package./h2 p align="center"img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/musical_instruments/detail-page/B0002CZUUG-1.jpg" pbAngled Headstock/bbr Unlike cheaper designs, all Epiphones feature a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut and so you get more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets. table width="200" cellpadding="10" align="right" tr td align="center"img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/musical_instruments/detail-page/B0002CZUUG-2.jpg" border="0" style="border: 1px solid black;" psmallbiAlnico V Humbucker pickups and the industry-standard Tune-O-Matic bridge. /i/b/small /td /tr tr td align="center"img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/musical_instruments/detail-page/B0002CZUV0-3.jpg" border="0" psmallbiRosewood fretboard with dot inlays./i/b/small /td /tr /table pbDouble-Waxed Pickups/bbr Epiphone utilizes a double vacuum waxing process that ensures optimum performance. The pickup is first placed in the specialized wax vacuuming system before the cover is put in place to ensure that the wax fully penetrates to the very center of the pickup and solidifies all parts. After the cover is placed on, it is again given a second vacuum wax bath until the unit is completely saturated with wax. pbOutput Jack/bbr To increase reliability and ensure consistent performance, Epiphone's proprietary output jacks feature an improved contact shape and heavy-duty spring steel. pbToggle Switches/bbr All Epiphones feature our all-metal, USA designed switches for reliable contact and longer life. pbTunomatic Bridge/bbr Fully adjustable, the tunomatic remains a classic after over 50 years. Unlike guitars fitted with tremolos, there are no tuning or re-stringing difficulties. Plus, tone and sustain are improved because all string vibrations are transferred directly to the guitar. pbPotentiometers/bbr Epiphone is passionate about performance. That's why their instruments use one-inch diameter potentiometers for better "throw," longer life and reliable service. pbQuick-Connectors/bbr For unequalled reliability as well as ease of service, Epiphone wiring harnesses feature quick-connectors. pbSpecs/bbr ul liPickups: 700T, 650R liHardware: Chrome liScale: 24.75 inches liNut width: 1.68 inches liNeck: Bolt, Mahogany liFretboard: Rosewood liInlays: Dot liBody material: Basswood liTailpiece: Stopbar liFinishes available: Ebony, White, Heritage Cherry Sunburst, Vintage Sunburst, Wine Red /ul

Black guitar has 4 good reason,s but mostly for style September 4, 2009

The Black guitar looks wonderful. I kept the poster on my wall and marked it. But The br /strings sounded softly and it was out tuned (duh). I accidentally Broke a string br / which i wounded up too much with the head and broke another trying to replace (even with reading the instructions).So since that didn't work I will have to go to the music store and get a new string (E-1). I will have to get my Dad to do it this time. br / br / br /The style is really good. It shows that it is very pricey and That I saved up allot. I had 2 other reasons, Let a friend come and play and play bye Myself with sweet sound but not without a missing string. br / br /UPS just laid it there at the door so you don't really have to sign up. br / br /Or maybe????

This is a professionally crafted and really sounded great, i just feel dismayed that the original string on the 6th was already broken... other than that this sound great and ready to rock right out the box.

Listen,If you want an inexpensive guitar with great sound and easy playability, buy this one. Period. br / br /I bought a black one to leave in the trunk while I was at work, in case the guys called for a practice session, so I wouldn't have to go all the way home to pick up my gear. br / br /I have other, way more expensive guitars, like a Gibson ES-335, Dean 12 string, and a Fender Strat, but I gotta tell you, I like this one soooo much I play it more than the others! No kidding. br / br /And if it gets banged up, so what??? It costs a buck thirty! Buy another. In facte I bought 2 others with different finishes, just for a cheap change up guitar. br / br /Dig it.

Great guitar for a beginner December 3, 2008

I wanted to start playing guitar with no previous experience so i went to guitar center where i live and strolled around looking for an inexpensive guitar that was not "cheap". This guitar caught my eye, it is perfect for a beginner or anyone who wants a les paul on a budget, like me. I bought mine used for $80 and it was red but i figured that this price could not be beat and for a starter what does the color matter it doesnt make it sound ant different. Anyway if anyone is starting to play guitar BUY THIS ONE and i also recommend the Spider line 6 amp to go with. I enjoy metallica and it sounds great for the stuff ive played so far.
