Classic Double Cut Power with Striking Burst Finish
The Epiphone Inspired By Les Paul Special Double Cut Figured Dark Purple Burst blends vintage Les Paul Special heritage with bold modern styling. Its mahogany double cutaway body delivers warm midrange punch and strong sustain, while the AAA figured maple veneer top adds brightness and visual depth. The double cut design enhances upper-fret access, making it easier to explore lead lines and higher-register phrasing.
A glued-in mahogany neck with a 60s SlimTaper profile provides a fast, comfortable feel. The bound rosewood fingerboard features a 12" (304.8 mm) radius and 22 medium jumbo frets for smooth bends and articulate chord work. ProBucker 2 and ProBucker 3 humbuckers offer versatile output, with the bridge supplying extra bite and the neck delivering warm clarity. Independent volume and tone controls with a three-way toggle allow flexible shaping. Grover Rotomatic tuners, a Graph Tech nut, and LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece ensure dependable tuning stability. Supplied in a premium gig bag.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this Dark Purple Burst Special is perfect for players wanting classic Les Paul thickness, improved upper access, and a standout finish ready for stage or studio.
