Here we have Kev showing you why you need to buy this excellent Les Paul Special II 'Flame', Limited Edition (rare) Custom Shop electric guitar.

The Epiphone Les Paul Special II electric guitar is one of the most affordable entry-level Les Paul style guitars on the market. If you’re a beginner guitarist or you’re a more seasoned player searching for a second or beater guitar, then the Epiphone Les Paul Special II has a strong story to tell. This segment of the electric guitar market is highly competitive. There are plenty of choices available with plenty of feature rich options to match. But despite the level of competition, from predominantly no-name brands, Epiphone still has a stronghold in this area and for good reason.
This is a flat bodied, solid guitar made from mahogany. Weighing in at close to 10lbs, it feels substantial. OK, noticeably lighter than a Gibson Les Paul, but you’re still going to feel it. As for the color, we’d honestly have to say that we love it. We think ebony really suits this design and helps to make it look a lot more expensive than it really is. But if black’s not your thing, there are other color variants to choose from.
At this point, it should be noted that although the guitar we are reviewing here today has a mahogany body and neck. However, the same model of guitar is readily available, constructed from different kinds of woods.
The guitar comes with a nickel stopbar tailpiece and a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge. Hardware that you’d very probably expect to see on more expensive guitars.
The pick ups are an Epiphone 650R humbucker at the neck and an Epiphone 700T humbucker at the bridge. These are high output humbuckers. Plenty of oomph in these babies for playing rock or heavier genres of music. Well, that’s nice. Yes, indeed, these are a much better quality of pick up than you’d find on most budget guitars. They also sound great.
The three-way toggle switch to change between humbuckers, or a combination of the two, is placed between the volume and rhythm knobs. The switch is familiar enough and looks like any three-way toggle you’d find on a Les Paul.

“This guitar does show signs of use – mainly around the headstock, there are chips around the edges (pictured), and harline scratches on the body (too faint to picture). Part of the Limited Edition Custom Shop range. This ‘Flame’ Les Paul Special II sounds awesome, just as you’d expect from any Les Paul, and plays really well. Set up & restrung by myself with D’Addario EXL120: 9 – 42, it sounds rich and sweet on clean and devilishly rocking on overdrive/distortion!”
