Special II - A Les Paul at an Amazing Price!

A streamlined Epiphone Special at an amazing price! A little smaller and weighing less than many of the Les Paul axes you'll encounter, the Special II nonetheless delivers a fat and nasty tone thanks to its two open coil humbucker pickups. The Special ii features a mahogany body and neck, rosewood fretboard with a 1.68" nut width, chrome hardware, and volume/tone controls. This is the "go-to" guitar for those who want to learn on a Les Paul style quitar but don't want to break the bank.

Amazing Value

by Ellis from Alabama
May 22, 2012
Music Background: Guitar Player (off and on for 20+ years)
I wasn't expecting a whole lot for the tiny price tag. I just wanted a semi-decent guitar that I could practice on - and that would stay in tune.

This guitar over-delivered big time.... read more [+] />
First of all it was set up perfectly right out of the box. No fret buzz, no sharp fret edges, the fit and finish were pretty much flawless. The sunburst is very attractive. The headstock, tuners, neck, frets, body, bridge, and hardware have a quality look and feel to them.

It stays in tune well, even after sessions of extreme bending. And the mahogany body provides a rich warm tone - even unplugged.

The neck is slim - it reminds me of an Epiphone SG. It is super easy to play and provides easy access to the upper frets.

The pickups are excellent for this price range - they provide good tones from clean to screaming.

Overall I would say that this has to be the best deal going. It's hard to believe that Epiphone can produce such quality for such a small price.

Sweetwater always goes above and beyond with customer service and equipment setups. close [-]

Really Nice

Firstly, I own the left handed version of this guitar. But either way, the sound is phenomenal. I just love to play it. The strings that come on it are a bit thick, so you'll want to change them if yo... read more [+]u like thinner strings. Anyway, the sound quality is nice and clear, even on a crummy amp. I've owned it for three/four years now and it still works great! If you're looking for a cheaper guitar with that special Les Paul look, this is it. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
