Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Les Paul Special Electric Guitar in TV Yellow

The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Les Paul Special is a solid-body electric guitar that faithfully recreates the iconic design and sound of the original 1950s model. It features the distinctive single-cutaway Les Paul Special body shape finished in the rare and eye-catching TV Yellow gloss. This instrument is designed to deliver the classic rock and roll tone that made the Les Paul famous, with a focus on authentic playing feel and reliable performance. The guitar is constructed from a solid mahogany body paired with a set mahogany neck, featuring a vintage '50s profile that provides a slightly deeper, more substantial feel in the hand. The 12-inch radius Indian laurel fingerboard is fitted with 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid dot inlays, offering a comfortable and familiar playing platform. Key hardware includes a Graph Tech nut for improved tuning stability and a Lightning Bar wrap-around bridge for simple, solid intonation and string changes. The electronics are centred around two P-90 PRO soapbar single-coil pickups, which are wax-potted to reduce microphonic feedback. These are controlled via individual volume and tone knobs for each pickup and a 3-way toggle selector switch. This guitar is ideally suited for players seeking the classic, gritty, and articulate tone of vintage P-90 pickups, which excel across genres from jazz and blues to rock and indie. Its authentic specifications and accessible price point make it an excellent choice for intermediate players looking for a step-up instrument with genuine heritage, or for seasoned musicians wanting a reliable and tonally distinctive workhorse guitar for studio or stage use. The overall package delivers a compelling blend of historical accuracy, modern playability, and practical reliability.
