Fast, Comfortable SlimTaper Neck

Epiphone equips this model with a glued?in mahogany neck carved to a 60s SlimTaper profile, delivering a fast yet supportive feel that suits both rhythm and lead playing. The bound rosewood fretboard offers smooth playability, while the 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid dot inlays contribute to classic looks with modern precision. The 1960s Kalamazoo?style headstock provides additional vintage authenticity, paired with Epiphone Deluxe tuners featuring ivory buttons for stable tuning performance.  

Expressive P?90 PRO Pickups

Powering the tone of the Les Paul Special Double Cut is a pair of Epiphone P?90 PRO Soapbar pickups. These single?coil units deliver the bright, articulate, growling character that players have loved for decades—equally capable of shimmering cleans and driven blues?rock snarls. Individual volume and tone controls for each pickup allow fine control over blending and shaping tones, while the 3?way toggle ensures quick switching during performance. This wide range of expressive sound makes the guitar adaptable across genres.

Solid Hardware for Reliable Performance

Epiphone’s Lightning Bar compensated wraparound bridge anchors directly to the body, enhancing sustain and intonation stability while maintaining the minimalist aesthetic of vintage models. Combined with the Epiphone Deluxe tuners, Graph Tech nut, and solid mahogany construction, the guitar delivers consistent feel and dependable function on stage or in the studio. With its balance of classic tones, modern reliability, and included premium gig bag, the Les Paul Special Double Cut stands out as an excellent all?purpose instrument for players seeking retro flavor with updated performance.
