Crafted exclusively for the Japanese market at the renowned Fujigen factory alongside the top shelf Elitist line, this Les Paul Special was part of the very limited Lacquer Series run. Authorized by Gibson, this LP Special features the unmistakable open book headstock shape with proper 17 degree pitch, a solid mahogany body and neck, and a thin catalyzed lacquer finish. The stock P-90 pickups work in concert with the mahogany construction to deliver a distinctive growl and midrange heft, offering dynamic, glassy clean tones and rich overdriven roar. The guitar is featherweight at 6lbs 15oz, with a defined, chiming natural acoustic voice that translates well through the pickups. Professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike's Guitar Bar, this Les Paul Special has been dialed in with 10-46 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.The mahogany neck has a modestly chunky C shaped profile carve with nicely rounded shoulders, measuring .860” deep at the 1st fret and .955” at the 12th. On the bound rosewood fretboard, the original medium jumbo frets show moderate uniform wear on the crowns of frets 1-3, with light wear extending exclusively beneath the plain strings until the octave. The guitar plays easily in every register with a straight neck and responsive, optimally adjusted truss rod. The scale length is 24 3\/4\", and the nut measures a full 1 11\/16\" in width. The face of the open book headstock retains the original Epiphone gold silkscreen text, Gibson truss rod cover, and set of cream button Kluson-style tuners that turn smoothly.All of the electronics work as they should, with the pair of original P-90 pickups wired to full-size pots and large orange drop capacitors. The guitar features a traditional Les Paul control array with individual Volume and Tone controls for each pickup and original black bell knobs. The ABR-1 bridge and stopbar tailpiece show faint uniform surface patina on the nickel plating, and the original three-ply black pickguard and pickup selector Rhythm\/Treble ring are also intact. Cosmetic wear includes some requisite scuffing across the pick path, while the gloss catalyzed nitro lacquer TV Yellow finish exhibits various minor nicks scattered on the body, mostly relegated to the lower bout body edge, with light buckle worming on the back as well. The neck sports the original gloss finish, free of palm wear with shallow marks mostly at the bass side of the profile that are not distracting while fretting.The original Epiphone gigbag is included.","brand":"Epiphone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40131501752506,"sku":"F601931","price":1399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/products\/medium_64d14911-4261-4872-b8d8-334b69c9aa18.jpg?v=1751561414","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/2006-epiphone-by-gibson-les-paul-special-lacquer-series-tv-yellow-japan-fujigen","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
