Body Construction
Mahogany has been the standard wood for the Les Paul Special since 1955. As a tonewood, it has a strong midrange, which makes it an ideal platform for P-90s.Les Paul Special Neck Construction
The Special has a set mahogany neck with a vintage ’50’s profile; the Indian laurel fretboard has 12" radius—a familiar feel for fans of classic Gibson electrics. The updated headstock bears a closer resemblance to the Gibson design.Soap Bar Pro P-90 Pickups
This Les Paul Special has 2 soap bar Pro P-90 single-coils, made to match Gibson’s original specifications. This includes Elektrisola magnet wire, sand cast Alnico V magnets and tin-plated brass base plates. Voiced for rhythm and lead, they provide a wealth of vintage tones that work equally well in a modern context. The dual volume and tone controls use CTS pots for a smooth and accurate response.Vintage-Style Hardware

Epiphone Deluxe Vintage tuners with Ivory buttons complete the classic look of the Special.Other high-quality specifications include a 5-ply pickguard, a Graph Tech nut, cream single-ply binding on the fretboard and a Modern Epiphone logo inlayed with mother of pearl on the headstock.
