Epiphone Les Paul Special VE Heritage Cherry Sunburst Vintage Electric Guitar

The legendary Les Paul Special returns with a modern twist in the new VE™ (Vintage Edition), bringing decades of rock heritage to today’s players through its lightweight Poplar body construction and classic profile. This latest iteration maintains the time-honoured tradition of making authentic Les Paul tone accessible to musicians at every level, featuring the same iconic silhouette that has defined rock music for generations.

Built with a comfortable Okoume bolt-on neck sporting a 1960’s SlimTaper™ D profile, the Les Paul Special VE offers exceptional playability across its 24.75” scale length fingerboard. The instrument showcases traditional Pearloid “Dot” inlays, 22 medium jumbo frets, and maintains the classic “bell” shaped truss rod cover that has graced Les Pauls since the early 1950s. Available in stunning Vintage Worn finishes including Cherry, Ebony, Heritage Cherry Sunburst, Vintage Sunburst, and Walnut, each guitar features a sleek, unbound aesthetic that emphasises its vintage character.

The tonal foundation comes from Epiphone’s renowned open-coil humbuckers – a warm 650R in the neck position paired with the slightly hotter 700T bridge pickup for versatile sound shaping. Premium hardware includes the legendary Locktone™ Tune-o-matic bridge with Stopbar tailpiece, while Epiphone Premium Covered tuners with 14:1 ratio ensure precise, reliable tuning. Control is straightforward yet effective with a 3-way pickup selector, Master Volume, and Master Tone, all fitted with traditional Black Speed Knobs and long-lasting 500K Ω potentiometers.
