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

Classic Les Paul Profile
The Les Paul Special VE™ has a Poplar body with a sleek look thanks to the Vintage Worn finish and no binding on the neck or body. The Les Paul VE is 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 fingerboard has traditional Pearloid 'Dot' inlays, a 24.75 inch scale, a 14 inch radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, and a standard 1 11/16 inch 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 VE 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 500K ohms potentiometers.

All-Metal Hardware
Epiphone features all-metal rock solid hardware on all of its instruments. The Les Paul Special VE 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. The tuners are mounted on an Epiphone Clipped Ear headstock with Les Paul Model in gold and the Epiphone log in silver. In addition, a '2016' Edition logo is on the back of the headstock.

We also have four guitar booths, two soundproofed drum booths, an in-house Guitar Workshop and a unique  monitor-auditioning studio designed by acoustician Andy Munro.

Next door is our café and complex of rehearsal and tuition studios available for hire seven days a week, where we also run regular workshops, instrumental lessons, demo events and recording sessions. Soon to be added is a  professional recording studio and control room.

Every member of our 50-strong absolutemusic team is an experienced musician or engineer who can offer you accurate, expert advice on anything from vintage guitars to the latest software. We pride ourselves on always recommending the right products for the job, most of which can be sent out on next-day delivery!
