Boss Hogg Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 I ask because that was apparently a color option (circa 1981), and it seems like it was an opaque color. I can’t find anything online to show what one would look like. I can find examples of all the other colors, so I’m not sure if this was just something that nobody ordered. Colors available: Sunburst, transparent cherry, all- natural, yellow, green, opaque red, blue, green, orange and black. The Special is also available in B&W “graphic” finishes.
cmatthes Posted September 18, 2023 Posted September 18, 2023 There was one (or was it FIVE?) Special in 1981 that I can recall that got a lot of looks:

Travis Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Michael Jackson was listed as being 5’9”. Steve Stevens standing next to him is still shorter once you correct for the hair. Then, look at the boots. I knew SS was short, but damn…. How short is he? Not like Prince short or John Oates short…? Internet says 5’6”… Thougjts…?
Hbom Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it.
