Les Paul Special-II GT | Body

In this post, we'll examine the body of this Epiphone Les Paul Special-II GT. Thanks to the Trans Black finish, one can tell that the body itself is constructed from at least four pieces of solid wood. Also evident is a lighter-colored center strip running from the neck pocket to the rear end. Then, there's the contoured neck heel, which gracefully slopes downwards from the full body thickness of 40.67 mm to a mere 15.41 mm at the front of the neck pocket.
