The Les Paul Special II is Epiphone's number one selling model and is a great way for beginners to get started on a guitar with the feel and tone of a Les Paul. Seasoned pros also love the Special II because it's a great-sounding workhorse of a guitar that allows them to leave their more expensive axes at home and still hit the stage with that “Les Paul†sound. Now, the Les Paul Special II features a Ltd. Ed. Translucent Black finish! The Ltd. Ed. Les Paul II's authentic Les Paul power comes from its all-Mahogany body with the one-and-only trademarked Les Paul profile in a Ltd. Ed. Translucent Black finish. The bolt-on Mahogany neck has the same "1960's" SlimTaper “D†profile as all of Epiphone's classic Les Pauls and features the same 24.75†scale, a rosewood fingerboard with a 12†radius and classic dot inlays, and Epiphone's solid 14:1 covered machine heads for quick, easy, and reliable tuning.
