The Epiphone ENSV-HSV Les Paul Special Satin E1 in Vintage Worn Heritage Cherry Sunburst combines classic design with modern performance. Featuring a lightweight poplar body, a comfortable 1960s SlimTaper™ neck profile, and Epiphone Open-Coil humbuckers, it offers a dynamic tone perfect for any musical style. The stunning Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish adds to its vintage aesthetic, while premium hardware ensures reliability during intense performances. A perfect balance of comfort, tone, and style, this guitar is ideal for players at any level.
Body Construction and Materials: The Les Paul Special Satin E1 features a lightweight poplar body that provides both comfort and resonance, making it ideal for long playing sessions. The poplar material ensures that the guitar is durable while remaining lighter than traditional mahogany bodies. This makes it easier to manage for players who are on stage or in the studio for extended periods.
Neck and Playability: The guitar is equipped with a 1960s SlimTaper™ D-shape neck profile, which enhances playability by offering a smooth and fast playing experience. The neck is made from Okoume, a lightweight yet durable wood that contributes to the guitar’s overall balanced tone and easy handling. The bolt-on neck joint ensures a stable connection between the body and neck, promoting optimal sound transmission.
Humbuckers for Versatile Tone: The Epiphone 650R Humbucker (neck) and Epiphone 700T Humbucker (bridge) pickups are open-coil designs that produce a warm, dynamic sound with excellent clarity. Whether you’re playing clean, overdriven, or distorted tones, these pickups offer versatility for various musical genres, from rock to blues and everything in between.
Classic Controls and Hardware: This guitar features classic controls, including Master Volume and Master Tone, allowing for easy tonal adjustments. The Tune-o-matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece provide solid sustain and tuning stability, making sure your guitar stays in tune even during intense performances. The Premium Covered tuning machines offer a 14:1 ratio, allowing for precise tuning adjustments.
Stunning Visual Appeal: The Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish adds a touch of elegance to the instrument. The Vintage Worn finish enhances the guitar’s retro aesthetic while ensuring that it stands out visually in any setting. The guitar also features a “Bell” shaped, 2-layer truss rod cover that adds further vintage appeal.
Comfort and Ergonomics: With medium jumbo frets and an ergonomic neck profile, this guitar is designed for comfort and speed. The 43.0 mm nut width allows for a smooth transition between chords, making it easy for players to execute fast runs or complex chord voicings.
