In August
2002, I decided to invest in an electric guitar and after
much consideration eventually bought this Ephiphone
guitar in Waltons for €250. I use the effects board
on a Boss BR-532 Digital Recording Studio which I have,
instead of buying individual effects boxes.
The sound from the guitar is
excellent, the action seems a little tricky but given a
little time to experiment you soon get the feel for the
guitar.
The Guitar details and
technical specifications are listed below.
Its an
extremely playable guitar, with a satin-finished
neck and 24 - 3/4" scale. Pickup wise, it
has two open-coil humbuckers; Smooth Tone
potentiometers (one volume, one tone); and
Epiphone's exclusive new four-blade, three-way
toggle including treble and rhythm. Cosmetics
include chrome finish, Dovewing headstock, and
E-Series logo.
These are some short mp3s,
which are designed to show the sound
achievable using the Epiphone Special II.
I used a midi track with the guitar
tracks removed, then used a 4 track
recorder to layer an extra 3 guitar
tracks on top of that.
