Product Description

Double-Cut Attitude, Les Paul Soul

Meet the Epiphone Les Paul Special Double Cut in a stunning Figured Bourbon Burst finish. This isn’t just another guitar; it’s a straight-up rock and roll machine that blends vintage vibes with modern playability. The gorgeous AAA Figured Maple veneer on a solid Mahogany body provides that classic tonal recipe of warmth, bite, and sustain that has defined countless records. The double-cutaway design isn’t just for looks, it gives you effortless access to the upper frets, so you can really dig in and fly across the fingerboard.

Vintage-Inspired ProBucker Power

Under the hood, this Les Paul is loaded with a set of Epiphone’s critically acclaimed ProBucker pickups. The ProBucker 2 in the neck delivers warm, rich, and articulate tones perfect for soulful rhythms and glassy leads. Switch to the ProBucker 3 in the bridge, and you get a slightly overwound, hotter output that serves up aggressive crunch and searing solos with incredible clarity. These PAF-style humbuckers, featuring Alnico II magnets, are your ticket to that coveted vintage sound, from clean shimmer to full-throttle grind.

Effortless Playability

The Mahogany neck is carved into a 60s SlimTaper™ profile, a player-favorite shape that feels comfortable and fast in your hand. Combined with a 12-inch radius Rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets, this guitar is built for speed and comfort. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece ensure rock-solid tuning stability and sustain, while the Graph Tech nut provides a slick, friction-free surface for the strings. It’s a guitar that just feels right, inviting you to play for hours on end.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Great question. The double-cutaway provides unparalleled access to the upper frets. Tonally, it results in a slightly brighter, more resonant character with a bit more ‘air’ in the sound compared to its single-cut counterpart, while still retaining that classic Mahogany warmth and sustain.
The ProBuckers are Epiphone’s take on the legendary Gibson PAF humbuckers, so they excel at vintage and classic rock tones. The neck pickup is warm and smooth for blues and jazz, while the hotter bridge pickup has enough bite and power for hard rock and early metal. They’re incredibly versatile for anything requiring a rich, dynamic humbucker sound.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
Orders ship same day in most cases and arrive within 1-4 business days with free, insured shipping. We’ll get it into your hands as quickly as we can.
