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…
Traynor YCS100 - "There is not a useful sound this amp is capable of producing. Traynor should be ashamed. "
I had a Traynor YCS90 combo. It was just great. So I figured to upgrade to 3 channel head. BIG MISTAKE. There was no sound coming from this amp that was even remotely close to the 90. The clean was …
Electro-Harmonix Cock Fight - "A very average sound"
I tried this pedal with an Ibanez js1000 on a peavy delta blues. Beware, this is NOT an auto-wah. It takes an additional expression pedal plugged in the dedicated input. I tried it for a clean so…
Fender Stratocaster Squier Series - "An astonishing small-priced Strat"

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,…

Godin Freeway SA - "Very good guitar, with additional MIDI"
Made in Canada, like all Godin guitars, but the Canadian-made parts are surprisingly assembled in the USA. Floyd Rose-style bridge – at least one with a tremolo that goes in both directions, bolt-on …
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 …

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 …
Fender GDC-100SCE - "Average"
I'm a strummer/picker. I got this guitar even though I'm not a fan of acoustic cutaways because the bottom end projection was excellent. Strings fade fast then the guitar is somewhat just dead with…
Yamaha FG-200 - "On the Nippon Gakki (Japanese made) models"
I was given this guitar in 1978 due to a badly bent neck, a common problem in all the guitars made in the same factory, probably an unfortunate selection of neck wood. I recommend 10/52 gauge, never…
