Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cut Cherry Red

First introduced in 1955 as a step up from the Les Paul Junior, the Les Paul Special carved out its own place in guitar history with dual pickups, a bound fretboard, and a raw, no-nonsense tone that players still chase today. This Epiphone Les Paul Special Double Cut is an Inspired by Gibson recreation of the early ’60s originals, capturing the moment when the model truly hit its stride with improved upper-fret access and a faster-playing neck profile.

A slab mahogany double-cutaway body delivers a direct, resonant feel with effortless access across the entire fretboard, while the glued-in mahogany neck features a classic ’60s SlimTaper™ profile for a familiar, comfortable playing experience. Vintage-correct details like the Kalamazoo-style headstock, bound rosewood fingerboard, and lightning bar wraparound bridge complete the look and feel, making this a pure, player-focused guitar that stays true to its roots without unnecessary distractions.
