Gretsch G6131T-TVP Power Jet Firebird

The Gretsch Powerjet is a made-in-Japan semi-hollowbody guitar. Its shape and construction are clearly inspired by the mythical Gibson Les Paul, with a mahogany body, maple top and mahogany set neck. However, it features important differences: the bo

Line 6 Variax Standard

It took a while before I finally leave a review on this axe, so here we go… As a previous Variax 600 owner who needed new strings, I went to my local dealer where I met a Yamaha salesman who was telling the dealer about the new Line 6 products he int

Harley Benton CST-24HB

This model inspired by the PRS Hollowbody I is really surprising. (and for a low, low price, you almost get a tailored suit of a guitar!) A very good, versatile instrument so pretty and unexpensive, you couldn’t get all that a few years back.

Harley Benton L-1000

I fell for this model from « Thotho », it looked great and the 84 user reviews on their website tended to confirm this impression. A ordered a B-stock for 155€… it wasn’t much, but there still had to be seen whether it would meet my expectations.

Ibanez RGDIX6MPB Iron Label

I'd dreamt of it for a while, and here we are: Ibanez finally releases fixed bridge models aimed at prog/metal/djent players. Just as I was about to order from Skeversen (which are specialists in that genre and make sublime guitars), I came across

Fender American Vintage '59 Stratocaster

I use this guitar with several amps : a Rivera R55-112 Fifty-five Twelve, a 1990s Laney LC50, and a Carvin Bel Air 212 (three great amps in my opinion). I occasionally play on a Peavey Classic 50. I mostly use the guitar to play blues, rock up to har

Gretsch G5622-CB Electromatic Center-Block

Bought used, but almost new (and from an AudioFanzine user through the classified ads ;) ) For detailed specs, go read the Gretsch website which is more complete than my (limited) memory ! My two playing configurations : at home through a Pod

Fender Jimi Hendrix Monterey Stratocaster

While i’m not a big Hendrix fan, i’ve always liked the look of this Monterey Strat. When Fender announced this Made-In-Mexico version, my attention was all the more raised that I still didn’t have a strat with a pau ferro fingerboard, due to missing

Tokai LS105

I just bought it this afternoon! I tried it out at the shop on a Blackstar H5 tube amp. It's beautifully crafted , with a superb lacquer! Mahogany body, maple top... it's heavy (not chambered like the new Gibsons). The electronics is incredible, t

Epiphone Limited Edition 2014 G-1275 Double Neck

I bought it almost new, its previous owner decided to sell it after playing it only a little. It’s from 2014 (Limited Edition). This guitar’s main asset is its killer look. It cleartly won’t go unnoticed, not even in its rock bag! When you open t

Fender American Deluxe Telecaster Ash (2004-2010)

(Originally written by poufinou/translated from Audiofanzine FR) It's not easy to overlook Fender's huge product range! They don't have a lot of different models (Strat, Tele, Jaguar and some others), but the options available are endless..

Greco SE600

A Japan-made guitar from 1976, before the Super Real era. This is the series which awoke Fender’s wrath, ultimately leading to the brand being bought up by the US manufacturer. SE600 Super Sound model. The guy i got it from sold it as an SE800
