- Not my guitars, I only put new strings on and refined the action.
Great sustain with a screwed neck!

Mine isn't that color. I guess that's why I don't play as good as you.
Hahaha!
Thanks!
can I use trimolo?
It's always the player that makes the guitar. Stevie Ray Vaughn could make a 59.00 Harmony sound like a million dollars. Good Job!
Nice balls. Hahahhaha
I'm seeing and hearing my guitar being played by the master!
I had a feeling I had bought a pretty good guitar for $125, now I'm certain.
P.S.
Be thankful you're not seeing and hearing me play your guitar!
So it’s not the guitar...I just really suck! Bwahahaha. Great job man!
Best demo yet of the Epiphone Special. Some very nice techniques that, in many ways, remind me of Jan Akkerman.
Hi Greg, thanks a lot!
Guess it's the year. Mine says Special-II LE on the cover plate. Very good guitar for the price. Once I learn to play it
Guitar switch at 6:05 to 6:15 for the curious/impatient.
Matthias, AWESOME video and playing !!!
Thank you so much
This is nuts.. Takes a lot of balls to compare these two instruments in a head to head comparison.. Seems like a lot of players need to sac up and keep woodshedding until they pull the tone out, and enjoy the fruits of their manual labor.. 😜😆😆😆
Sounds like the $2000.00 Gibson that it isn't...
Is the second guitar a model I or II? And do you know the difference between the two models?
I've just bought one that looks like the second guitar (with Gibson on the headstock) and I thougjt it was a model I.
Ya that was about as informative as dog crap in the sun
What’s the song he started playing at 0:48 I really like it
Edit: I found it lol it’s called just the two of us by Grover
Dude I've been jamming this song for few weeks hard!.. driver washington jr just the 2 of us..this was destiny. Now I can learn some new SICK LICKS.. now Santana... my friend you hav AMAZING taste . And talent. Killer. Tasteful but not too spicy! Right on 👌🤘
Thank you so much!
I don't think Gibson ever made les paul special 2s.. I think that's an Epiphone thing
When I heard you playing I instantly said to me: That's the guy with the 1962 Fender Stratocaster!! You are so unique. Greetings.
Wow sound so awesome I have the same epiphone in black
It´s a question of knowing what you´re doing.
Personally I would buy this baby, set it up carefully and upgrade the hardware, electronics and pickups.
Put it through a Peavey Classic 30 with a good speaker in it, stick a DOD 250 Preamp Overdrive in front of it and sound like Gary Moore.
Use a well set up Squier with Duncan YJM Furys in it and sound like Yngwie Malmsteen.
Learn to play like them.
Job done.
What a glorious day that will be.
In a week from now, i will exactly the same. What is your advises that my guitar will sound like yours please ? I am from the desert of Morocco and i would like my guitar sound like the way i hear it from you.
Thank you
You recommend this guitar?
well.... this is one of those cases in which it's not the axe what sounds good i'ts the guitar player. nice playing, dude
Thanks a lot!
I have the special 2. I mean for what I paid (200 bucks) it sounds ridiculously good. I got it after returning a Fender clone for around the same price... that yeah, sounded like ... what it should for the price. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND The Les Paul special (Epiphone) for beginners!
Yes!
You seem to be having a great time with a relatively inexpensive guitar (especially compared to that Killer strat you have!)
I showed this to some friends who believed you had to have $1000.00 + in a guitar to sound good. Thanks for dispelling that myth!
Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!
Good comparison, Thanks
Epi sounds more dynamic recorded at this room volume. IMO
The cheaper pickups probably not potted? Got that gritty sound.
Gibson pickups probably sound better for standing in front of a loud amp, because
wax potted to reduce microphonic noise?
I could be wrong. I've owned a few of these, that's my observation.
Epi LP special is a bang for the buck, if you find one with good neck.
Thank you!
Those 2 guitars belong to a friend of mine.
Maybe with better pickups they sound fuller.
I think they are potted, no problems with unwanted feedbacks.
Kind regards, Matt
Get the Les Paul 100 it's the shit
Essa guitarra não é a que é feita de maderite?
How long would I have to practice and play to get to your level? The fact that you know many songs but also put your own twist/flavor it makes it very enjoyable to watch/listen!
Great! Thank you!
40 years! Hahaha!
But It's true, I started playing guitar at the age of 13!
All the best, Matt
Absolutely fantastic!!
Nice vid!... and Happy Holidays from Michael t Wyman in LA CA USA ......
Fender, Peavey and Maestro lp jr player....2018
U rock dude! great playing
Thanks a lot!
The guitar couldn't ask for a better player to lay into your lap
Wow, thanks a lot!
@@mattguitarwater haha your guitars might be having some good dreams about the jam to come tomorrow. Regards and take care...🎶
Which one do you prefer? The LTD or the normal?
that is a good question, are there any differences between the two?
What about the tuning stability?Is it good?
Used to have one and I can say it holds up well in E Standard with 9s. Had it within my first few years of learning so I never tried drop tunings with thicker gauges so I cant let you know past that. Actually ordering another one here soon for a rebuild project I've been wanting to do
wow! amazing !!! 🤘
I've got an Epiphone les paul special II gibson (exactly the second guitar in this video).
But I can't find this model in web!
can you pls just tell me the name of the guitar?
and what do you thing.. which of them is better
1.ep special 2
or
2.ep special 2 gibson with rosewood fingerboard?
Thanks a lot!
Sorry, I had them only for 2 days to pimp them up for a friend.
Kind regards, Matt
Matthias Waßer Vintage Guitar
Thanks for answering 🙏🤘
honestly great demo, because it actually shows whats to be desired in the guitar, great playing btw. it seems to be some better pickups.. otherwise the tone seems to be decent
Thanks a lot!
The 2 guitars belong to a friend, I think the pickups are the originals.
Kind regards, Matt
Thank you for demo which I can play like that one day lol
Gawd...That's it... I quit play'in muzak. Amazing... Just... Dammm...
Good to hear it in action, but you didn't give any details whatsoever
I had them for only 1 day leant from a friend.
But in the WWW you will find all details.
Kind regards, Matt
Which one is better, Special VE I or Special II ?
Hmmm, sorry I can't remember, I´ve had them leant from a friend...Both were good!
Is it neck thickness is too
Is it neck thickness is too
Your badass man
Found one with chipped poly for dirt cheap... Considering doing belly contouring and locking tuners and roller bridge.. All black.. But I've read these are plywood.. Not that it matters much.. Still want something different than anybody else..
The LE or LTD Special 2 is limited edition. Solid Alder body. If it is Special 2 non-limited it has a laminate mahogany body. LTD should have a mahogany neck and rosewood fret board. The non-limited may have a maple neck. Some say Special on the head board. The Special-II LE/LTD has the Les Paul Signature.
Fantastic video, I have the second guitar and is very confortable, thank for your performance...
Thank you so much, you make me happy! Kind regards, Matthias
So is the Epi just as much fun to play as the Gibson?
How did you learn to play like that?
RUclips 🙄
how do you even get this good
You have to practice scales. You HAVE to practice scales. That's it. That's the biggest secret.
I just bought a gloss black one today.
hey please help mee, which is lighter guitar ? ephiphone special 1 or 2???
Both
I just got mine.same guitar. Action is off my low e touches the first fret . How can I lower it? Raising the stop bar ?
Hi Chris, It is the balance between the curvature of the neck and the height of the bridge.
The quality of the instruments is not bad. A good guitar tech can fixed it. All the best, Matt
If the low E is touching the first fret, you should start by "raising" the "bridge." Adjusting the stop bar will only affect the tension of the strings. Do a search on RUclips for adjusting action on Tunamatic bridges for more information. I hope this helps.
Let’s say I don’t have a ton of money to spend, what kind of amp works best with this guitar?
Sorry, I don't know! There are too much! You should walk in the next guitar store and test, what's the best amp for you and your budget.
Kind regards, Matt
@@mattguitarwater so I’m thinking a blackstar with the special-II… let me ask you is it worth getting the special ii or just get the special i? I’d like a somewhat nicer finish, but from what I’m guessing it’s just cosmetic? I’m probably going to get the Special ii anyways but just wondering if there’s a difference in pickups or maybe a nicer finished fret board in the 2…
Anzeige wegen manspreading ist raus.
Grins!
If i buy the same guitar, how many hrs would it take for me to play like you?
Thank you!Difficult to say how long it will take. Kind regards, Matt
He’s being nice saying you probably won’t live long enough Lol. All kidding aside I’m wondering the same thing. I played for a 6 month’s in my late teen’s in the late 90’s and had a fender squire strat
I have the epiphone gibson special can you tell me which one is better. as well as what wood is the neck and body of the epiphone gibson special
Congrulation, but sorry, the 2 guitars were not mine and I only had them for a few days years ago! I cannot remember which one was better.... both were great guitars!
@@mattguitarwater thank you my friend
@@Motorhead-y9t you‘re welcome!
What strings and gauge are you using?
Earny Ball 009 - 046
Hallo Matthias! Auf der zweite Gitarre auf dem Kopfplattenschild steht Gibson. Ich habe die gleiche Gitarre gebraucht erworben. Weisst du zufällig oder jemand was das zu bedeuten hat? Für deine Antwort Danke im Voraus.
Hi,
ist mir ehrlich gesagt gar nicht aufgefallen!
Die beiden Gitarren gehören einem Bekannten, für den ich die Gitarren eingestellt habe.
Vielleicht eine andere Serie mit mit Bekundung der Zugehörigkeit zur Mutterfirma 😁.
Viele Grüße, Matthias
@@mattguitarwater Danke trotzdem!
What should I pick as my beginner guitar between this guitar or a fender squier bullet telecaster ?
Hi Christian, it´s important, which style of music you prefer, the Epiphones have humbucker pickups with a more mellow and fatter sound, the Telecaster with single coil pickups have a brighter sound with less output. I never played the Sqier telecasters. But in my opinion the Epiphones are great guitars for beginners!
Kind regards, Matt
Pick what feels right to you. Go by sound and feel. Every guitar has it own character. Just keep jamming. You'll feel it.
@@mikedenson1589 Yup I went with a strat :) Wasn't a big fan at first but they grew on me
@@ignatcristian3036 great choice! My favorite guitarist practiced six hours a day. It works.
@@ignatcristian3036 Good choice. Strat would be the one I would pick.
how wide is the neck at the widest point?
I don't know.
The guitars belong to a friend
What amp are you using ?
Bluguitar Amp1
fantastic tone and playing. what amp?
Thanks a lot! Bluguitar Amp 1. I'll write it in the heading!
changed it to covered pickup now it sounds great
this is a cheap firewood
