Manufacturer's Description for Epiphone Les Paul Special II Electric Guitar

The Epiphone Les Paul Special II is a great guitar for new players or veterans looking for a backup axe. With a pair of open-coil humbuckers and a great-feeling mahogany neck, this guitar is comfortable enough for experienced pros to pick up and play, and is also a great guitar to learn on. With each detail modeled after the Les Paul style, this guitar is a great way to commence rocking.

The Epiphone Les Paul Special II: What Makes the Les Paul So Important?

The Gibson Les Paul is, quite simply, one of the most famous guitars ever associated with rock music. The list of players is staggering: Jimmy Page, Frank Zappa, Slash, Paul McCartney, Pete Townshend, Zakk Wylde, and countless others. Even if all you know about your musical future is that you wanna rock, the Les Paul is a fantastic way to do it. Of course, for a great many musicians, Gibson's guitars are often out of price range, and so their subsidiary Epiphone builds stripped-down versions of many Gibson classics. That's not to say that these are cheap knockoffs, though - Epiphone, having been part of the Gibson family since the 50s, has access to the original schematics of guitars like the Les Paul, and are well-acquainted with what makes them so excellent. To that end, the Les Paul Special II is a great choice for budding players - offering the beefy dual-humbucker tone that is the Les Paul's trademark at a price that anybody can attain. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Epiphone products.

"Dont be fooled :)"
Sound: This guitar sounds awesome! Im running it thru a zoom and a orange amp.it really sounds deadly. If your a beginner this will be the only axe youll ever need.a great second guitar to play around with if your a bit more advanced.nice one epiphone Feature: Hey you get what you pay for and for this kinda coin you cant go wrong. Maybe stronger machine heads but there easily replaced. Ease of Use: It sounds awesome. Youll pay twice as much easily to find tones this good. I cant ever see myself getting rid of this guitar. Quality: It feels rock solid,the truss rod was out a little and the inotation but easily fixed. Im left handed and its a struggle to find a guitar thats finished this good and sounds so rich Value: Its fully sick. Sounds like a much more expensive unit. Manufacturer Support: I haven had a problem with it as yet.its worthy of a pic up upgrade in future. Maybe the neck could be a little stronger but hey its a bolt on The Wow Factor: It feels sexy,looks sexy is sexy . Period Overall: Yeah i wouldn think twice about replacing this guitar if anything happened to it. No brainer really. Best features+light weight and tone . . Worst feature? My mates complain its left handed lol . They all wanna play it

"TRULLY A BARGAIN, DON'T LET THE CHEAP $$ FOOL YOU, IS ALOT MORE THAN WHAT YOU THINK."
Sound: I just recently got a new Epiphone Special 2 and I have to admit that it is too much guitar for the $. It surprised the @#@#! out of me once I hooked a Metal Zone distortion pedal. The quality is second to none. And the sound, needless to say, YOU HAVE TO TRY ONE FOR YOURSELF! fOR ANY TYPE OF METAL, THIS AX WILL DO YOU JUSTICE, So save you the $$ and get this bad boy. You wont regret it! Feature: The only thing that I was a bit dissapointed was that it didn't include a gig bag nor straps. But for what I saved on the price of the guitar I had plenty to invest on all those. Quality: This guys in quality control worked their butts off(at least on mine they did,,lol) everything is solid and well made and balanced. Beutiful color(this one is a blend between red-burgundy and wood pattern, just beutiful) GREAT VALUE AND SOUND! Value: This guitar is worth every penny! Manufacturer Support: No need for that! The Wow Factor: Once I decided to learn to play the guitar and seen this one, I even tried other brands and models but I came back to my first choice. THIS ONE, once I seen it, felt it, played I fell in love. Overall: I don't think I would replace this one with another guitar since this one can be tricked out. I plan to keep this one and upgrade it as necessary.
Style of Music: speed metal,grunge, Death Metal ect..........
