I've been trying this guitar out for a while and was very surprised at the sounds that come out of it. I will get this guitar next week. Thanks for the review
Hey, I'm planning on getting this guitar. And I also love Megadeth. Would it be good for playing their songs? If not, what other cheap guitar is good for Megadeth and thrash metal? Please respond as soon as you can.
i bought this guitar, (i don't have it yet), my question is, do I get that sound without need of pedals and all that stuff, just have connected to the amp, or do i need an specific amp? Because i heard that i need pedals for certain kind of sounds, this is my first electric guitar. greetings, good riff :D
@thetrutheye I bought this guitar last week and can play everything i.e. from metal to classic. In my opinion I don't need a pedal just change the output of the amplifier :)
g-day mate i recently bought a special 2 and it was mimnt i sent it to one of the guitar guys that professionalt lover the action and do the internation he lower it atthee pickup end and at the tuning end ablosultey easy to play now ive played a real gibson les paul and it is alot harsder to play then my baby.
is that p-90 pickups?i have same guitra and want to change my pickups do you recomend me to buy p-90 pickups?when you change your stock pickups sound are diffrent or same
@goatygeek Is this guitar good for an intermediate player? I've been playing for about 4 years. I like rock, blues and some alternative stuff. I'm looking for a guitar with a nice tone and feel. I've got a fender Starcaster and, pardon my french, it sucks shit. I mean, it'll get me from one side of the tab to the other but, not necessarily in the best tone and with the right feel. I'm looking for something that looks good, feels good, sounds good, tastes go-- well, you get the picture.
@SilentKRock I've changed the bridge pick up on mine, I've put the wilkinson that came on the bridge of the Shelter nashville, and it sounds really good :D
@SilentKRock dont buy p90 pick ups if u want play metal,p90 are for blues and jazz!dimarzio have p90 soap bar super distortion!im going to buy one soon.i have an epiphone gold top 54! great guitar but cant play hardcore stuff with the p90.
@antivatican1 P90s are good in the neck position. Being single coil they have more definition and don't produce the muddy lows like a neck humbucker. An alternative is to fit a capacitor in series with the neck humbucker to filter out the lows. I did this some years ago on a LP copy and people constantly commented on how good the guitar sounded when playing both pickups. Unfortunately I can't remember whether it was a 0.47mfd or a 0.047mfd capacitor though.
Those are the standard pick-ups? I have the same guitar, but the pick-ups are different, they don't look like yours and sound different.. What amplifier do you have?
I just ordered one a couple of days ago from a local guitar shop. I'm a beginner that is looking to make this a hobby of mine, and was told that this is a great guitar for beginners and hobbyists. I paid 200$ taxes in for it (everything is a bit more expensive here in Canada :P), and can't wait to finally start teaching myself to play on it!
@simlaf666 Dude, I am no expert, but I have heard both good and bad reviews on this guitar. My opinion is that guitars are supposed to be different. I don't believe you have to buy a $700 Fender Strat or $ 1000 Gibson to get a good guitar. I have the wine red model of this guitar, and it switches fine, and sounds good. guys who play well suddenly buy into the idea that any guitar under $600 sucks.
@simlaf666 Hey, I'm just a 47 year-old guy who has been trying to learn the guitar since childhood, but never had the right circumstances. When I was younger, I either lacked the guitar, the patience to learn, or the means for instruction. I had a personal instructor in my mid 20's who said I had natural ability, but I got married, had kids, and eventually pawned the guitar. Now I'm equipped, but still just fighting to learn. I hope I learn before arthritis kicks in... Keep it up !
i have a question about the pickup selector switch on this guitar
when i try to switch it to treble or rhythm, it just stays like if i had selected both, this is my first electric and i dont know nothin someone help...
@FaWkInGsErIoUs So basically switching pickups doesnt change the sound correct? if thats the case better have the guitar checked up in a local guitar shop.
@FaWkInGsErIoUs These guitars are famous for having crap electrical wiring. I have heard of a lot of them having bad pickup selector switches. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
i had to pull the cap out to fix it! i dont know wtf but its the same as normal but the little black cap on the switch is just removed and is harder to switch so it is just bs.
well i believe mine was a defect,i did fixed it manually but it looks like my dog chewed it(which is not good, but its working!) :D, and that's it with the switch, my day has been hell and i have a project to finish so im trough with this selector switch... which works now!...kinda.
@thetruth786110 If its ur first tym playing guitar then it is expected that u may struggle to touch the right strings,. my pinky is quite small so at first i was struggling doing stretches and using 4 fingers in playing lead, but its just a matter of getting used to, just practice... unwanted string noise can always be muted by the palm and several other techniques even if u hit the wrong strings from time to time.
@thetruth786110 Hi, oddly enough, i am also 21 years old but ive been playing guitar for at least 4 years now on and off,, and i also do this just for fun and hobby,. i think this guitar is perfect for beginner/intermediate guitar players, this guitar feels and sound good, and it doest go out of tune easily, but i would say to be fair that the weak point of this guitar are its tuners, not that its bad, but it could be better. but all in all , this guitar is great for a new guitar player.
@GestzugaTenzu You might wanna try a different amp than the one that came with it, usualy the amp that comes with the guitar only has a 8 or sometimes 10 inch speaker which may sound different, in my own opinion this guitar sound better with an amp that has 12 inch speakers in it.
My own suggestion would be a VOX VT 50 amp if you're tight on budget.
Hello Bro, nice playing, Im interested in putting a pickguard on this type of guitar, can I do that? Im asking because the LP SPECIAL II doesnt have a pickguard , or wholes, so If I buy pickguard , do I do the wholes myself, or simply it is impossible?
@Macsk8ing I cant really answer your question because i never thought of putting a pickguard on this guitar, try consulting a local guitar shop in your area for advice rather than just doing it by yourself.
Buy this ONLY if this is gonna be one of your first guitars......if you aren't just starting off but want a cheap Paul get a epi Les paul custom and do some mods on it.
@flymanrock if u want a nice alternative for epiphone guitars, buy some golden age pickups from stewmac.com...they are priced just right and sound amazing...when i used to have an epiphone les paul these are the ones i installed...the difference was night and day...
@bennakamen you get what you pay for really, you should test one out at a local music shop if there's one nearby. I tested an epiphone special 2 GT which is pretty much the same as this, with some added bits. I liked it, I've bought a used one off eBay for £50 which I'm collecting this weekend.
@TheMuseDay The amp is a big factor, but the guitar is important as well, the guitar has a distinct warm thick feel and sound.
My suggestion would be getting the VOX VT series instead of the line 6, they are in the same price range and VOX is waaaay better than line 6 in tone and feel, you also get more effects and wayy more sounds.
@guitarramaniacx In my own opinion i like the sound of it better with the pickup covers because it does reduce a bit of treble, and it sounds better on high gain settings.
@Benfanbeatles Like i said COUNTLESS TIMES before, i just added the pickup covers by myself. please stop questions that i have answered COUNTLESS times before. thanks.
OMG, I have same guitar! Same color and everything! But what amp do u use? cause i eep trying to get mine to sound like tht but it just sounds classic unless i turn my amp (Studio 15R Epiphone) all the way up. thx!
@goatygeek ohhhh ok thx, how much did ur amp cost? well i prob cant get it anyways yet cause i just got mine on saturday and it came with amp and stuff
@CLEMSOCUB I bought it for £80, it was second hand. but if i were you get the VOX VT30 amp, its pretty much in the same price range and its way better then the MG.
@goatygeek oh yea i heard it was good, i bought mine in a beginners pack tht the store recomended with tht guitar,strap,picks,case,the amp i mentioned before and an auto tuner. My guitar teacher has tht same amp to so yea
i have a question about this guitar, do you have to hold the pick up selector switch every time you wana switch between lead and rythm or is there a way to make it stay?
RIGHT NOW (sorry for caps lock) im using a line 6 spyder they come in many sizes from 15 watts to 100 watts and any place in between, they have clean for melodic sounds, crunch for country and blues, metal for...metal, and insane for crazy metal. it has 6 built in effects, a record/head phone jack, and a mp3 player input. i love it, one of the best amps i have ever owned, and they wont cost you to much.
i am still waiting for my guitar to arrive but i keep reading reviews that say there are fret problems and buzzing noise. did u have any problems with yours?
hey buddy thanks for posting. I found this video after I purchased mine on line. Awesome job. Was this done with the same amp that comes with the guitar?
Just got mine today. I'm using it with a METEORO ATOMIC DRIVE REVERB, 20 watts, and the distortion sounds like crap. Any ideas about it?

i have a question about this guitar, do you have to hold the pick up selector switch every time you wana switch between lead and rythm or is there a way to make it stay?

Is this the standard sound of the guitar? Can you also switch to clean and stuff?

yeah, with proper equipment you can get a wide variety of sounds from a nice clean, to heavy distortion and any where in between

So like a good amp? Wich brands do you think are the best for less money? :D
CptCippe 2 years ago
RIGHT NOW (sorry for caps lock) im using a line 6 spyder they come in many sizes from 15 watts to 100 watts and any place in between, they have clean for melodic sounds, crunch for country and blues, metal for...metal, and insane for crazy metal. it has 6 built in effects, a record/head phone jack, and a mp3 player input. i love it, one of the best amps i have ever owned, and they wont cost you to much.
