Traveler Guitar Pro-Series - "A must-have for traveling by plane"
I bought this guitar to travel by plane. Before that, I used to take my nylon-stringed Yamaha APXT 1N which was perfect (except for its shorter scale), and plugged it on a Marshall MS2 microamp thro…
Mesa Boogie Mark Five: 35 Head - "A new Mesa - The sound and more important, the functions of this amp are just about perfect. "
I had a rect-o-verb 50. It had outstanding sound quality. But I needed some serious downsizing and this seemed to fit the equation. It's the head version on a 2x12 cab. Light, small and packs a BIG p…
Fender Stratocaster Squier Series - "An astonishing small-priced Strat"
I bought this guitar in 92, when I was just a beginner. What a joy to have "my own Fender Strat" for a negligible price. It was a "Squier Series" Fender, made in Japan in the end of 1991. I use th…
LTD EC-401VF - "Les Paul & Seymour Duncan with a great value for money"
Made in ASIA (more precisely in China I believe). Well manufactured, beautiful, well built, no bad surprise, it's such a beautiful item that I struggle to convince myself to put it back in its case. …
Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar - "That "Squier" logo is starting to become a point of pride."
I agree with most of the reviews praising this guitar. You should play more than one to be sure you're getting the best of the lot but it shouldn't take long. I played three, they all played well,…
Fender Blues Junior III "Woody Mahogany" - "Beautiful, lightweight, good sounding!"
I had a fender hot rod deluxe III - Wine Red Tan Limited Edition. It was the perfect amp for me and the music I like but it was too heavy for my aching back... So I had to change, but I wanted the t…
Ovation Viper - "Nice entry into the Electric Market By Ovation!"
My guitar is a Pawn shop find. They are USA made guitars, but the hardware is made in Germany (Schaller). The guitar looked a bit sad when I got it... missing 2 tuning machines, and looked we…
Ibanez CS9 Stereo Chorus (Vintage) - "A great chorus"
I own a 1982 Ibanez CS9 - hence Made In Japan. If you fall for it on the second-hand market, don't hesitate to open it so as to clean it up and use an air spray to get rid of all dust then use it …
Gibson Les Paul Classic (2015) - "LES PAUL CLASSIC"
Disclaimer : I’m writing this review although I’ve only owned this instrument since September 30th, I’ll come back to edit it in the future with a little more perspective. Ergonomy : it’s a LES PA…
Silvertone F hole, arch top/bottom - "Saving Sylvia"
When you have an arch top/bottom f-hole all laminate guitar you're not looking for big booming sound so get used to it! Sure, it's a cheapy Sears Silvertone but I have a love affair with it. Has a …
Suhr Standard Carve Top Knopfler Spec - "Suhr Carve Top Knopfler Spec"
What you are paying for with this instrument is the build quality and standard of components. Don't expect any case candy or even a fancy case, just a typical g and g type job but a very big centre p…
Cort Luce L450C - "This amazing guitar!"
I use the guitar primarily for picking, as I dont use a plectrum. However, like everyone, I also need to strum a little. I play up and down the neck in a variety of styles, but this little beauty lov…
Gibson Marauder - "Gibson Marauder"
The Marauder was a mid 70's attempt by Gibson to compete with the cheap Japanese copies which were flooding the west at that time. Although it was never particularly cheap (around £300 in the UK, whi…
Boss FV-500L Foot Volume - "A strong volume pedal for precise volume control"
This is one of the most reliable volume pedals that I know. I use it with my current clonewheel (Tokai TX-5 Classic, made in Brazil) and, you know, it's an essential item for that kind of instrument …
Joyo JF-39 Deluxe Crunch - "Deluxe Crunch with honey nuggets!"
There was some Buzz around a handful of Joyo pedals where they were aped to be clones of top brands, so I took a look. Initially, what I heard and saw didn't move me greatly as I had gear in those ca…
