Epiphone LP Special II Electric Guitar
This value-champ also features Black hardware including the Epiphone LockTone™ locking Tune-o-matic bridge and Stop-bar tailpiece for amazing sustain and even more mind-blowing value.The Epiphone Special II in the delicious Wine Red edition is a great way for beginners to get started on guitar with real, Les Paul tone, but seasoned pros love the Special II because it’s a great-sounding, workhorse guitar that lets them leave their more expensive axes at home. The authentic LP power starts with all-Mahogany construction with a Rosewood fingerboard and is voiced by a pair of hot open-coil 700T and 650R Humbucker pickups. Like all of our electric guitars, it comes standard-equipped with 500K Ohms potentiometers, our own heavy-duty 3-way pickup selector toggle switch and non-rotating heavy duty output jack.
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.
Les Paul Features in an Economical Package.
Angled Headstock
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.

Double-Waxed Pickups
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.
Output Jack
To increase reliability and ensure consistent performance, Epiphone’s proprietary output jacks feature an improved contact shape and heavy-duty spring steel.
Toggle Switches
All Epiphones feature our all-metal, USA designed switches for reliable contact and longer life.
Tunomatic Bridge
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.
Potentiometers
Epiphone is passionate about performance. That’s why their instruments use one-inch diameter potentiometers for better “throw,” longer life and reliable service.
Quick-Connectors
For unequalled reliability as well as ease of service, Epiphone wiring harnesses feature quick-connectors.

i got this from musicians friend company, for the price this guitar is perfect for practiceing. also very well made. the pickups are as strong as a old stock real les paul. its bolt on but has alot of sustain. also great tone. the body is heavy but not too heavy. nice paint job, also well made neck. it is a very solid guitar. your no going to find abetter guitar for the price. its that well made. it also stays in tune and no fret buzz. for the price its a winner. also great for practicing, no complaints. it holds its own. a better guitar than some costing much more. in fact this guitar could sell in the 600 dollar range, its that well made. also with sound,that is awesome,very resonant,great sustain.
Definitely worth the $$$
Let’s face it—instruments are expensive! An American made Les Paul is not for the budget conscious amateur!
This Indonesian made Epiphone holds it’s own and the price is about as reasonable as you are going to get for a decent electric guitar.
