Emetry Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Amen! I have a vintage '98 Special II, and it's OUTSTANDING! Better than most guitars i've borrowed, including some higher end Ibanez, and a few Gretsch models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icantbuyafender Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 if you know what sound you want and how to get it, the special II is not a problem at all. i put my pups of choice in and i got successful tones. Good build for customizing and such nice playin. i have a black with all chrome ... even knobs and upgraded keystone tuners from GFS and a black pickguard (just screwed to the flat top, no bracket) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmarterDen Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Can you tell me how you got that sound on your special II? That dreamy sound is nice. Care to post the amp settings or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Summerisle Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Thanks for sharing that scarrabri - nice work, by the way! Without the video I'd never have guessed that was an Epiphone LP you were using. Your tone has a distinctly Hank Marvin-esque quality to it (appropriately enough, I guess - given that the Shadows recorded a version of this song). If you'd asked me to bet on which guitar was being used, I'd have gone for a Burns Marquee or similar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Truth be told, at times I prefer the sound of the ceramic pickups in the Specials over the sound of the AlNiCo pickups in the 'high end' Epiphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
