Epiphone Les Paul Special VE, Ebony

The Epiphone Les Paul Special VE in Ebony is a thoughtfully crafted electric guitar that combines the iconic Les Paul design with accessible features, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and seasoned players seeking a reliable, budget-friendly instrument.

Featuring a lightweight poplar body with a sleek Vintage Worn Ebony finish, this guitar offers a comfortable playing experience and a classic aesthetic. The bolt-on mahogany neck, shaped in a 1960s SlimTaper™ D profile, provides smooth playability across the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, accommodating various playing styles.

Equipped with Epiphone's open-coil humbuckers—a 650R in the neck position and a 700T in the bridge—the Les Paul Special VE delivers a versatile tonal range, from warm, rich rhythms to sharper, more aggressive leads. The straightforward control layout includes a 3-way pickup selector, master volume, and master tone knobs, allowing for easy tonal adjustments.

The Tune-o-Matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece ensure stable tuning and precise intonation, while the premium covered 14:1 ratio tuners facilitate accurate and reliable tuning adjustments.
