Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Ebony Les Paul Special is a right-handed, six-string solidbody built with a mahogany single-cutaway body, mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard. Its pair of passive P-90 pickups can be selected individually or together from the three-way toggle, giving you neck, bridge and combined pickup choices from one straightforward layout. A rounded '50s-style neck, 22 medium-jumbo frets and a vintage-style compensated wraparound bridge define the playing platform. The guitar has a gloss nitrocellulose finish and a hardshell case is listed.
