MGR/Butters « Kramer Focus 111S »
Published on 11/18/04 at 15:00My dad bought my guitar off Ebay, for £79 because i was starting guitar lessons at school and research had shown this guitar to be a good buy. It was a good price at £79, (normal price £70 to £80) and the quote was "this guitar if made for rock". For me that sealed the deal. Yes i know what your thinking, "it cant be any good for that price". But wait. You can't judge a book by its cover. Read on...
I like this guitar because it sounds amazing, amplified or un amplified it has a real rock kick to it that so many other guitars fail to achieve. It has two tone nobs so i have more controll over the sound it gives as some amps cant produce the desired sound. The sounds the pick up selector can give are good, they vary from hard crunch to a more mellow deep bassy sound and the sound stays constant when you turn it down and doesnt muffle away.
This guitar is heavy! i mean heavy. My advice to anyone who gets this guitar is to buy a padded strap or wear some thick clothes. Another problem it that it is very easily disturbed by radio waves or electrical appliances and the fact that it is hollow means that any viabrations echo loudly.
The guitar has a standard guitar shape with a relatively long neck. It is well built as far as i can tell and I have had mine a year now and nothing has gone wrong with it. The only two possible flaws are thefact the jack in socket comes loose occasionally and the area around the base of the neck looks slightly rough and hewn.
It is undoubtaly one of the best guitars to buy for beginners or keen rock rhythm guitarists. It is after all "made to rock".
