Epiphone Les Paul Special Double Cut TV Yellow – classic double cut electric guitar with P-90 PRO Soapbar pickups

The Epiphone Les Paul Special Double Cut TV Yellow is a solid body electric guitar from the Inspired by Gibson Collection, based on the early 1960s models. With its double-cutaway design and straightforward construction, it offers full access across the fingerboard and a direct, responsive tone.

Overview and features

This model features a slab mahogany body with a double cutaway, allowing unrestricted access to all 22 frets. The construction delivers a focused tone with strong midrange presence and solid sustain.

Equipped with two P-90 PRO Soapbar pickups, the guitar covers a wide tonal range from clear, articulate clean tones to more aggressive and driven sounds.

Construction and materials

The body and neck are made from mahogany, with a set-neck construction that enhances stability and sustain. The neck has a SlimTaper™ 60s profile, offering a fast and comfortable playing feel.

The bound rosewood fingerboard features 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid dot inlays, supporting smooth playability across the entire neck.

Connectivity and integration

The guitar uses a standard 1/4” output and is compatible with amplifiers, effects pedals, and recording equipment following industry standards.

Control and workflow

The Les Paul Special Double Cut features a traditional control layout:

• 2 x Volume – individual control for each pickup
• 2 x Tone – individual tone shaping

This setup enables flexible tonal control directly from the instrument.

Pickups and tone

The P-90 PRO Soapbar pickups deliver a dynamic and articulate sound with pronounced attack. They offer more bite and clarity compared to traditional humbuckers while maintaining warmth and body.

Hardware and stability

The Lightning Bar compensated wraparound bridge is mounted directly into the body, improving resonance and sustain. A Graph Tech nut and three-on-a-plate tuners contribute to stable tuning performance.
