I just got the shaded edge burst Special Edition. Features that are special to this model are:
Shaded edge burst, Full gloss body, Rosewood back and sides, Abalone rosette, Gold hardware,"Engraved Victorian" fretboard inlays with matching peghead inlay, grained ivoroid bindng.
Mine is a glorious guitar. I have a few to test it up against. It really is quite remarkable. And, with all the special features, it is quite beautiful.
