DESCRIPTION

Epiphone introduces the Les Paul Special Satin E1 electric guitar featuring the classic Les Paul profile with a lightweight poplar body. This Les Paul Special Satin E1 electric Guitar is powered by Epiphone open coil humbuckers and is available in beautiful “Vintage Worn” color finishes.

For decades, the Les Paul Special has been one of Epiphone’s best-selling electric guitars. And this Les Paul Special Satin E1 electric guitar—inspired by the Les Paul, the greatest electric guitar in rock—continues the tradition of giving both new players and pros a real Les Paul at a price anyone can afford.

Classic Les Paul profile
The Les Paul Special Satin E1 electric guitar has a poplar body with a sleek look thanks to the Vintage Worn finish and no binding on the neck or body. It's cut to the same classic profile of all Les Pauls and has a comfortable and fast mahogany bolt-on neck with a 1960's SlimTaper D profile. The rosewood fingerboard has traditional Pearloid "Dot" inlays, a 24.75” scale, a 14” radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, and a standard 1-11/16” nut. Just below the headstock is the famed “bell” shaped truss rod cover found on every Les Paul since the early '50s with “Vintage Edition” in white. 

Epiphone Open Coil Humbuckers
The Les Paul Special Satin E1 electric guitar features Epiphone’s world famous open-coil humbuckers with a warm 650R in the neck position and a slightly hotter 700T in the bridge or lead position. Controls include a 3-way pickup selector switch, a Master Volume, and a Master Tone control, each with traditional “Black Speed Knobs” pots with long-lasting
500kOhm potentiometers.

The Les Paul Special Satin E1 electric guitar comes standard with the legendary Locktone Tune-o-matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece for easy set up. Tuning is fast and reliable with Epiphone Premium Covered tuners with a 14:1 ratio.The higher the ratio, the more accurate your tuning.
