Tina R. Clark October 9, 2009 at 3:56 am: The Black guitar looks wonderful. I kept the poster on my wall and marked it. But The

strings sounded softly and it was out tuned (duh). I accidentally Broke a string

which i wounded up too much with the head and broke another trying to replace (even with reading the instructions).So since that didn’t work I will have to go to the music store and get a new string (E-1). I will have to get my Dad to do it this time.

The style is really good. It shows that it is very pricey and That I saved up allot. I had 2 other reasons, Let a friend come and play and play bye Myself with sweet sound but not without a missing string.

UPS just laid it there at the door so you don’t really have to sign up.

Or maybe????

Shann Yu October 9, 2009 at 5:02 am: awesome practice guitar, but i’ve also played a few shows with this one. the moment i got it, i was first off surprised by the size of the frets. the frets themselves seemed a little smaller than normal, so if you have pretty huge hands, don’t bother with this one.

the onboard pickups are pretty baseline, as you can see from the price. they are certainly not stellar, but they aren’t as bad as you’d expect. a friend told me about how the guitar itself does not really matter, it’s the effects. i didn’t really believe him until i got this one and got it hooked up. i guess it’s safe to say that so long as you have enough effects, you can make the special ii sound as good as the juggernauts of the guitar scene.

crazyTERMINATR October 9, 2009 at 10:57 am: I wanted to start playing guitar with no previous experience so i went to guitar center where i live and strolled around looking for an inexpensive guitar that was not “cheap”. This guitar caught my eye, it is perfect for a beginner or anyone who wants a les paul on a budget, like me. I bought mine used for $80 and it was red but i figured that this price could not be beat and for a starter what does the color matter it doesnt make it sound ant different. Anyway if anyone is starting to play guitar BUY THIS ONE and i also recommend the Spider line 6 amp to go with. I enjoy metallica and it sounds great for the stuff ive played so far.
