Listing title

Epiphone Les Paul Special II (China) – Dual Humbuckers – Player-Ready

Main description

This Epiphone Les Paul Special II was made in China and gives you the classic Les Paul feel in a straightforward, no-nonsense package. With its mahogany body and bolt-on neck, dual humbuckers, and simple volume/tone controls, it’s a great first “real” electric or a dependable backup you don’t have to baby. The 24.75" scale and comfortable neck profile make it easy to play, while the 22-fret rosewood-style fingerboard and dot inlays keep everything familiar and functional.

Tonally, it covers everything from crunchy classic rock to tight, focused rhythm sounds, thanks to the 700T bridge and 650R neck humbuckers found on these models. Roll back the tone for warmer jazz/blues textures, or dime it for bite and attack; the pickups respond well to picking dynamics and amp gain changes. If you’re looking for an inexpensive Les Paul-style guitar that actually feels and sounds like a proper instrument—not a toy—this one gets you there without drama.

Condition and details

Overall condition is very good with normal play wear for its age; no structural issues, no headstock breaks. Frets have plenty of life, the neck is straight, and the truss rod works as it should. All electronics function properly: both humbuckers, 3-way switch, volume and tone controls are clean and noise-free to my ears.

This listing is for the guitar only. It will be packed securely and shipped within the continental U.S. If you have any questions or want specific photos (neck pocket, fret closeups, etc.), feel free to reach out before buying so you know exactly what you’re getting.
