Epiphone Les Paul Special Double Cut Figured - Bourbon Burst with Gigbag

The Epiphone Les Paul Special Double Cut Figured: Timeless Style, Modern Power

Classic Les Paul Heritage with Modern Double-Cut Accessibility

Epiphone’s Les Paul Special Double Cut Figured in Bourbon Burst delivers a stunning take on one of Gibson’s most beloved designs. Inspired by the 1958 update to the original Les Paul Special, this model brings a double-cutaway body for effortless access to upper frets, a comfortable SlimTaper neck, and a beautifully figured AAA maple veneer top that elevates its visual appeal without sacrificing vintage authenticity. The SlimTaper profile, first introduced in 1960, enhances playability and offers increased neck stability for confident, dynamic performance.

Vintage Looks Meet Modern Sonic Versatility

This Les Paul Special doesn’t just lean into its roots—it upgrades them. Instead of traditional P90s, this model is outfitted with a pair of Epiphone’s acclaimed ProBucker humbuckers. The ProBucker 2 in the neck delivers smooth, round warmth, while the ProBucker 3 in the bridge adds extra heat for articulate lead tones. Each pickup is wired to its own dedicated volume and tone control, giving you a wide tonal palette. Whether you're riding clean or dialing in overdrive, this guitar stays responsive and focused.

Refined Details for the Demanding Player

Beyond tone and looks, the build is refined with a focus on the player. A rosewood fretboard capped with 22 medium jumbo frets and acrylic dot inlays gives you a familiar, expressive playing surface. The bound fingerboard and 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock lend a premium feel, and Grover Rotomatic tuners ensure rock-solid stability. A Graph Tech nut supports accurate tuning and reliable intonation across all 22 frets.

Dependable Hardware and Performance-Ready Setup

A LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece keep your setup stable and your sustain rich. Combined with nickel hardware and classic black top hat knobs, the overall aesthetic stays true to its roots while offering modern reliability. Straight out of the box, this guitar is ready for rehearsal, stage, or studio—complete with a premium gigbag for safe travel.

Bourbon Burst Finish with Premium AAA Maple Veneer

The Bourbon Burst finish reveals the character of the figured maple top, giving this guitar its signature look. It’s a modern instrument steeped in vintage charm, designed to be both visually striking and musically inspiring.
