HP Special CT in Black NGD

Post by gadjet » Sun Nov 17, 2019 9:05 pm

I just picked up a HP Special CT in black/black w/a thin maple faux binding around the top. I’m certain it’s the USA version as it has two humbuckers the brass trem stop and all the other features of the HP series. I have never seen one in all black before. I’m looking for any info I can find. Hopefully I can say this but I got ii for about 650 U.S used. Seemed like a good price. It has a nice condition case and it’s in almost new condition sans a small nick on the lower horn. I did own a FT with a great top a couple of years ago so I’m a bit familiar with these.

I’m trying to decide if I’m going to keep this one. It’s fun to play and plays great. If it had a nice top I’d keep it, the black has me hesitating. There just isn’t much info out there on these guitars, especially the solid color versions. I have window for returns so I guess I have a decision to make.

Howdy. I'm not too sure what info you are looking for on this guitar, but the first HP Special I got was that exact same one, solid black with the natural binding. Yes, it is a USA build. I loved it. I think in total I had around 6 different HP Specials. I don't have any of them anymore. I have 3 USA carved top Wolfgangs, 2 HP2s, and 2 HP2 necks on USA Wolfgang bodies that I got from the Peavey sale.

I loved the natural binding with the black top and back of that HP Special. You should definitely keep it.

Thanks!. I was 99% sure it was USA built, it is a really nice guitar but I had never seen on in a solid color. I did however take the return option. I'm on a general sell down and I don't know if it was longtime keeper.
