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"

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"
