Winter NAMM 2012 News
While this guitar is cheap, it doesn't suffer from some of the typical problems that you see with cheap guitars. It has very low action and absolutely no fret buzz, and not sharp/undressed frets. The bridge intonates perfectly, and the tuners, although they feel cheap hold tune well. I bought this guitar as a mod platform, and i...
Its pretty crazy that Ibanez can make a guitar like this and sell it so cheaply but their Prestige models that cost twice as much come with pickups that sound like they should be in 100 dollar guitars. This guitar with its comfortable body and its solid bridge make it a really solid metal guitar and it is a bit cheaper than the comparable guitar...
This is the good kind of signature guitar. Bernie actually plays these unlike a lot of PRS endorsers. A lot of them have PRS SE signature models but play the made in the USA model. Bernie says this guitar is absolutely fine and he gigs with it. It does not have any crazy markings on it that make it stand out either. Just the Bernie Marsden signa...
These limited edition Charvels are great guitars. These guitars are made in Japan so the price for them is less than 1000 USD. Being made in Japan the quality and consistancy is great on these models. It is a limited edition guitar so it will hold its value quite well and you probably wont see many other people playing them. The cool flame finis...
The Blacktop series of Fender guitars is a nice mid level line of guitars. They are usually stripped down rock machines with humbuckers or P90s. This model comes with P90s has it is based on the classic Jaguar design. The Jaguar for most of its history was a smaller less fancy version of the Fender Mustang. The Mustang usually got P90 style pic...
Fender came close to getting it right with this guitar but the Telecaster pickup ruined it. With the Telecaster pickup in this guitar you dont get much more usefullness than the normal HH Blacktop. I didnt find myself mixing in the Telecaster pickup with the humbuckers, I just found myself using the humbucker tones as if it was an HH guitar. As ...
Not only is this a great looking guitar, but it is a great feeling instrument. To me, that is what matters most. Fortunately it sounds good too. I never thought I would end up buying such an unorthodox design. Especially not a guitar that was probably meant for blues and not pop rock stuff that I play. But for cleans and light overdrive it ...
Normally I hate signature guitars with crazy graphics on them but the graphic on this isnt really specific to anyone. It is just a broken glass motif so its not as guady as if it had Gus G's face on it or something. The Gus G signature is on the headstock but it is pretty small and combined with the rest of the guitar does not stand out at all. ...
If you are looking to get a PRS you should see if you can find a CU model for cheap. Nowadays you can get these guitars for less than 1000 USD. That puts them close to the price of a new PRS SE and they are a lot more guitar than a PRS SE. I think finding a CU model used is the best way to get into a real American made PRS guitar. A guitar like...
These guitars are very well priced. They are selling on this side of the Atlantic for around 400 dollars which is pretty cool for a guitar from a unique company like this. Even though they are made in Asia now the quality hasnt declined one bit. These are not the most complex guitars and are the type of guitars that you want built over there. If...
