Product Description

The Les Paul Special is both special in name and nature, as it’s the only model to be fixed up with two soapbar P90 pickups and an eye-catching TV yellow finish. Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson collection applies iconic features and advanced construction techniques to incredibly accessible instruments.

Construction

Accurate to retro design, the Special consists of a classic mahogany body and neck combination in that rare colour first featured in the ‘50s. Nothing gets more rock and roll than this.

The neck has a Vintage ‘50s profile, which is slightly deeper than the slim taper Gibson adapted at the end of the decade. Paired with the 12” fingerboard radius and medium jumbo frets, the Special provides an authentic, lively playing experience. Hardware specs include a Graph Tech nut and a Lightning bar wrap around bridge for solid tuning stability.

Sound

Before Gibson standardised the humbucker in the Les Paul, all of their guitars were equipped with P90 pickups. These single coils provide a high output, powerful tone that doesn’t require much heat to get aggressive.

Otherwise known as the soapbar, P90s excel in anything from jazz through blues and into rock. The P-90 PRO pickups in the Junior are fully waxed potted to eliminate unwanted mic feedback.

Fantastic guitar for the money, not sure how epiphone do it. Took me a while to get used to the neck as its bigger than I'm used to but it soon became a firm favourite.

Great great great! I had a original Gibson tv yellow as my go to guitar many years ago, I hit a cash flow crisis and it had to go. However this feels and sounds just as good if not better in my opinion. The finish is what I’d expect from Gibson but at a epiphone price point. Id buy it again in fact I’d buy two😀

got to say it's excellent and very good value for money. The sustain is great. I had to lower the action a little and of course clean the fretboard and change the strings, now it plays like a dream.

Pete's accessment in the Andertons comparison video on this guitar was spot on (check it out)... I should have purchased this one from the first batch but got seduced by the 2020 Epi LP Jnr. However... the six month wait for the TV special was well worth the wait; without doubt the best bang for the buck I ever spent... even the fret ends are rolled and plays and sounds ace. It's a keeper!
