Epiphone Les Paul Special Electric Guitar - TV Yellow

The first brilliant thing you’re sure to notice about the Epiphone Les Paul Special Electric Guitar is its striking TV Yellow finish - named as such for practical reasons. This particular shade of yellow was created to make the guitars scan better on black and white TV screens back in the ‘50s.

The next thing of note is that the Les Paul Special is that it possesses a pair of ‘soapbar’ P90’s, in keeping with its authentic ‘50s vibe. These high-output single-coil pickups kick out a powerful rock’n’roll tone and are fully waxed potted, a process that significantly reduces any unwanted mic hum that these soapbars may create.

As per the standard LP spec, this Special sports a fine Mahogany body and a matching Mahogany neck that with a Vintage ‘50s profile. A smattering deeper than the ‘60s Slim Taper profiles, this neck provides that substantial retro weight in hand, but manages to remain smooth and comfortable. A 12”-radius Indian Laurel fingerboard carries 22 medium-jumbo frets, completing the fret-hand's fluid action. This great vintage-style Special also features a Lightning bar wrap-around bridge and vintage-style deluxe tuners with ivory buttons for stable, reliable tuning.
