The Epiphone Les Paul Special VE electric guitar with a light-weight poplar body and Epiphone 650R and 700T open coil humbuckers is the recommendation for beginners as well as more advanced guitarists. From blues to rock to metal, this Les Paul provides the necessary steam, while the transparent vintage worn finish provides the right look.
For that true LP feel, the mahogany neck of the Les Paul Special VE features the original neck profile of the Gibson Les Paul models from the year 1960. The slim 1960 Slim Taper 'D' profile allows easy-to-grip chords and clean scales as well as sensitive bendings and vibratos.
A warm 650R humbucker in the neck and a hot-wound 700T humbucker in the bridge positions deliver the distinctive character of the Les Paul Special VE. The two pickups in the Open Coil design are perfect for rhythm and lead playing of modern styles and produce rich sustain and singing Les Paul sounds. The pickups are controlled via a 3-way toggle switch, master volume and master tone knobs.
An Overview of the Epiphone Les Paul Special VE:
Great product at a great price, it's a perfect starting instrument for me to learn on. Thanks
I have loads of Epiphone guitars all sound great and are better value for money than Gibsons.
Purchased this one for a friend who is learning to play and I wanted to encourage him to learn.
Looks great, sound good and played well straight out of the box.
Delivered quickly and was well packaged.
All this for £111.00 ... can't go wrong
I'm a basic beginner and always loved the Les Paul shape guitar ,I've owned a few Les paul shape guitars from encore to rockburn but the ephiphone feels and fits better in my hands. The sound quality is very good and I think the guitar would suit all types of players from beginners to semi professional
I was actually surprised about the build quality for the price, so far very happy with it
This is a beautiful guitar with an irresistible price. It has a bunch of elements that give it a vintage feel but with a modern finish. Looking forward to many years with it.
