Les Paul Special guitars - their name alone is a hint that they're exceptional. Introduced by Gibson in 1955 - the original Les Paul Special was marketed as an intermediate-level model that fell somewhere in between the affordable Les Paul Junior and the higher-end Les Paul goldtop model. Guitarists immediately liked what they saw and the Les Paul Special quickly became the axe of choice for working musicians across the United States. Today, the Les Paul Special is still a best-seller among musicians who want to experience the unmatched sound of a Les Paul guitar at a price that's within the reach of everyday artists.
If you're a gigging musician who wants a guitar that offers classic Les Paul sound and is a perfect ten in the looks department, check out the Gibson 2015 Les Paul Special Double Cut Electric Guitar. From its sleek, solid mahogany body to its commemorative headstock hologram and beautiful pearl inlays, everything about this six-string is stunning. Add in dual P-90 Soapbar Alnico Slug Pickups, a 3-way stich and master volume and tone pots, and you've got a guitar that's truly made for the stage.
Now, if you want to experience all the feel and tone of a Gibson Les Paul Special but don't want to break the bank, turn your attention to the Les Paul Specials from Epiphone. Guitars like the Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Special-I Electric Guitar and the Epiphone Les Paul Junior Special Electric Guitar are fantastic options for beginners because they offer an exceptional string-to-body resonance that will help any aspiring musician find their signature sound. Epiphone Les Paul Specials are also great choices for seasoned pros - they've got the great Gibson sound, they work hard (and play even harder) and they let you leave your more expensive axes at home when you're out on the road.
Armed with the information above, it shouldn't be long before you're hitting the stage with a Les Paul Special of your own.
