Hofner Guitars 457 - "Vintage 'modern' Hofner"

Harley Benton Manhattan Standard - "For Jazz – but not only"

Gretsch G6131T-TVP Power Jet Firebird - "Unique"
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.…
Keiper 115 - "Novelty Guitar"
This is a peculiar instrument. The twin cutaways, (Venetian and Florentine) do not make for an attractive instrument, which is why I consider it a novelty guitar. Having said that, it plays surprisin…
Peerless Hardtail 335 - "Great Value for the Money"
These are great guitars. You could think of them as 95% of a Gibson at 33% of the cost. The woodworking is first class. No defects or imperfections of any kind. And the neck is straight, smooth and l…
Harley Benton CST-24HB - "A Harley PRS for a very low price"
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 unexpen…

Reverend Club King 290 - "Excellent !"
I use the Reverend Club King 290 with Orange AD30 and Ampeg V4BH amps, mainly playing a mix of punk & hardcore. This guitar is just great, my (Mexican) Fender Telecaster and Gibson SG have a hard tim…
Italia Guitars Rimini 12 - "Restring the Italia Rimini 12 String..."

Epiphone ES-335 Pro - "Epiphone ES335 PRO in-Depth review"
Budget Gibson ES-335 ? So what do we have here? a guitar with the exact same construction as the real deal (a Gibson ES-335). Or in other words, a laminated hollow body, with solid center block an…
Gretsch G5120 Electromatic Hollow Body - "Great guitar with some problems"
I never liked Gretsch guitars before but when I saw it I had to pick it up, and when I played it I fell in love! The neck on this guitar fit me like a glove. I usually like very thin necks with light…
Gibson ES-165 Herb Ellis Signature - "A Classic Jazz Box"
I purchased the Gibson ES 165 when I began playing more classic jazz standards in a jazz ensemble. I had previously been using an Epiphone Broadway and it just wasn't doing it for me. The ES 165 met …
