MGR/john richards « Epiphone Les Paul Special »
Published on 05/30/02 at 15:00well.. i got this guitar about 6 months ago, bought it at "music city" ny for $200 new came with a 15 watt marshall amp (i was a beginner at this stage). This was one of the cheapest LP's i could get my hands on (the other LP's were way too expensive the special editions were the cheapest LP's) but i have allways wanted to get a LP so i went for this one.
Nothing
This guitar is awfull! Firstly the volume and tone controls and the tone switcher are cheaply put on as mine have allready been replaced.... The sound is horrible and does not really give the true LP effect! The fretboard has been poorly made. The guitar is very heavey. The guitar breaks easily (i have allready broke the neck). The shape of the guitar is nothing like the proper LP's.
I have allready explained this in the other box.
If your going to buy a cheap LP do not buy the Special 1! my friend owns a Special II and i find that much better than this guitar so if you are going to purchase a cheap LP buy the Special II. If you can afford to buy a much more expensive LP i would go for the classics e.g. LP Standard that actually look and sound like LP's!
Overall i find this guitar absolutely awfull epiphone should not even have made this guitar! and i will soon be replacing it.. well it was my fault for purchasing a cheap LP i should of saved up for a more expensive one. The special Edition 1 is a disgrace to the LP's
