Epiphone Review: Special

Epiphone Electric Guitars

History:

Purchase: I bought it from a friend at about $180 (a pretty good deal if you ask me)

What I Like About This Epiphone Special: It's really comfortable, it's got a fat tone and a lot of sustain. sounds great live I know it's supposed to be a cheap guitar but i think it works great.

What I Do NOT Like About The Epiphone Special: can be a little bassy, you know, the low tones are predominant but that sounds good with distortion. I use a boss ds-2 and it rocks.

Epiphone Special Quality Rating: Haven't found any major flaw in it

Review Summary: I like it, it's not the best guitar in the world but works great if you don't have $2000. Even if you have $2000 it should be on your stack.

Rating of this Epiphone product: 4
