Product Description
Our number one selling model comes with everything you need to get going on guitar. The Epiphone Special II Player Pack is a great way for beginners to get started on guitar with real, Les Paul tone, just like seasoned pros love the Special II because its a great-sounding, workhorse guitar that lets them leave their more expensive axes at home. The authentic LP power starts with all-Mahogany construction with a Rosewood fingerboard and is voiced by a pair of hot open-coil 700T and 650R Humbucker pickups. Like all of our electric guitars, it comes standard-equipped with 500K Ohms potentiometers, our own heavy-duty 3-way pickup selector toggle switch and non-rotating heavy duty output jack. This value-champ also features Chrome hardware including the Epiphone LockTone™ locking Tune-o-matic bridge and Stop-bar tailpiece for amazing sustain and even more mind-blowing value. Accessories include: Studio 10 Guitar Amp, gigbag, strap, cord, pitchpipe, picks, instructional DVD.

This guitar is wonderful to start learning on, especially if later on you plan on playing an authentic Gibson Les Paul, which is is nearly double the weight. This guitar has a slightly smaller scale which is better when you are starting off, and all Gibsons, as well as Epiphones have heads that are angled slightly at 45 degrees from the neck which is better for sustain. The neck is slim and easy to wrap your fingers around, even if you have short fingers. You'll find that compared to Fender Stratocasters and Telecasters, the Ephiphone's neck will make you feel as if your fingers are sliding on water. The strings are closer together than the other guitars such as the Parker Fly or the Fender Strat, and that makes it good for not only chords, bar chords, and the like, but also good for solos. Whether you are sitting or standing, the body is comfortably shaped. All in all, it is worth...

Everything was included in the pack and "seemed" great. I got the Sunburst pattern and the guitar looks really nice. The amp and the rest of the gear was all good for the price. The problem was that when I tuned the guitar I had to raise the bridge way too much to get rid of some buzzing from the fret bars. Even after that I still got the buzzing when I played vigorously. Also I could feel the edges of the fret bars on the neck which I think means that the wood of the neck had shrunk and probably warped a little (sitting in a warehouse too long maybe). I chose to repair these issues instead of returning the guitar. I like it very much and I doubt that getting another pack at the same price point would get me any more quality. If my experience was not the norm then I would give this pack a 4 or 5.**UPDATE The warped neck was unrepairable by the epiphone dealer in my area. They sent it back (warranty) and I got a NEW...

The guitar is just beautiful and the amp sounds great and is compact. The guitar case is good quality too. Personally I don't think the pitch pipe is good for those who want to learn to play. I spent $30 and got a really nice guitar tuner. The picks are average quality and the learning CD won't get a newby very far. The few negatives are far outweighed by the beautiful guitar and amp. I'm so glad I settled on this guitar and so is my husband. :) |
