Epiphone Les Paul Special Double Cut Electric Guitar - Cherry Red

Stripped down and built for immediacy, the Epiphone Les Paul Special Double Cut reflects the practical evolution of Gibson’s early 1960s solidbody designs. Part of Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson collection, this model pairs a slab mahogany double-cutaway body with a glued-in SlimTaper neck, creating a fast, familiar feel with clear access to the upper frets. Two Epiphone P-90 PRO Soapbar pickups supply punchy single-coil tone with strong midrange presence, making the guitar a natural fit for players who value clarity, responsiveness, and a direct connection to their sound.

P-90 PRO Soapbar Pickups Deliver Clear, Gritty Single-Coil Tone

A pair of Epiphone P-90 PRO Soapbar pickups forms the core of the Les Paul Special Double Cut’s voice. These pickups emphasize focused mids, clear highs, and quick attack, responding smoothly to changes in picking dynamics. With individual volume and tone controls for each pickup, you can blend neck and bridge sounds for everything from warm, articulate cleans to raw, cutting lead tones that hold their place in a band mix.

Double-Cut Mahogany Body and SlimTaper Neck Improve Access

The slab mahogany double-cutaway body provides comfortable access across the full length of the fretboard, making extended runs and upper-register work feel natural. A glued-in mahogany neck with a 60s SlimTaper profile supports fast movement and a familiar grip. The bound rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid dot inlays delivers smooth playability while preserving the guitar’s vintage-inspired aesthetic.

Lightning Bar Bridge Enhances Sustain and Tuning Stability

An Epiphone Lightning Bar compensated wraparound bridge is bolted directly into the body, helping transfer string vibration efficiently for strong sustain and clear intonation. This simple, solid design keeps notes ringing longer and maintains tuning stability during bends and aggressive strumming. A Graph Tech nut and Epiphone Deluxe three-on-a-plate tuners with ivory buttons round out a hardware setup focused on reliability.

Classic Controls Keep Tone Shaping Simple and Direct

With two volume and two tone controls, the Les Paul Special Double Cut offers flexible tone shaping without unnecessary complexity. Small adjustments to pickup balance or knob settings allow quick changes during a song. The layout encourages players to work with touch, dynamics, and amplifier interaction rather than relying on complex electronics.

A No-Frills Les Paul for Players Who Value Feel and Tone

Players drawn to honest, touch-sensitive instruments will appreciate what the Epiphone Les Paul Special Double Cut offers. Its straightforward construction, classic electronics, and comfortable neck make it well suited for blues, rock, punk, and related styles. As part of the Inspired by Gibson collection, it connects to a historic design while emphasizing accessibility, reliability, and real-world performance. Lastly, a premium gig bag is included so you’re ready to move from practice to the stage.
