Double Cut Access with Modern Figured Finish
The Epiphone Inspired By Les Paul Special Double Cut Figured Ocean Water pairs classic Les Paul Special DNA with a bold AAA figured maple veneer top. Its mahogany double cutaway body delivers warm midrange focus and natural sustain, while the carved contours and twin cutaways provide improved upper-fret access for lead work and higher-register phrasing.
The glued-in mahogany neck features a fast 60s SlimTaper profile, matched with a bound rosewood fingerboard with a 12" (304.8 mm) radius and 22 medium jumbo frets. ProBucker 2 and ProBucker 3 humbuckers supply balanced output, with the bridge offering added bite for driven tones and the neck delivering smooth warmth. Individual volume and tone controls and a three-way toggle allow versatile shaping. Grover Rotomatic tuners, a Graph Tech nut, and LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece enhance tuning stability. Supplied in a premium gig bag.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this Ocean Water Special is ideal for players who want classic Les Paul thickness with easier upper-fret access and a striking modern finish built for the stage.
