The Wanderkauven Take Don't let the price tag fool you—the Epiphone Les Paul Special II is a serious instrument. It is widely considered the best "first guitar" on the market, but we also see pros buying them as reliable backup axes. Why? Because it strips away the fancy binding and cosmetic extras of the Standard model and focuses purely on the tone.
With its two open-coil 700T/650R Humbucker pickups, this guitar delivers that thick, creamy sustain and crunch that made the Les Paul famous. The bolt-on neck profile is slim and comfortable, perfect for learning chords or playing fast riffs. If you are looking for a guitar that stays in tune and sounds huge without breaking the bank, this 2013 model is a fantastic choice.
