WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT

The Epiphone Les Paul Special-II comes in at just below the $200 mark and beautiful tone, superb sustain, and a playable action. The guitar strings deliver definition and clarity. It is a gorgeous instrument to look at too, thanks to the iconic Les Paul shape and coloring. For the price, you'd be hard-pressed to find such a quality product.

There is so much to like about this product. It delivers powerful sound, gorgeous tone, and looks lovely too. Not only does the instrument offer superb value, it comes with accessories too, including a gig bag, a stand, and a polishing cloth. It's a great all-rounder that any budding guitarist will love.
