Martin Steel String Backpacker Travel Guitar with Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Got one of these little beauties about 10 years ago.It's a Martin, not much more needs to be said.It's a great little guitar; sounds great, though it's a little quiet due to the small body.The only drawback is the lack of a good leg rest position.It needs to be played standing or with the body up against the arm of the chair.Light, easy to carry, good feel.Good second guitar or if you have money for only one and need to move around a lot, this will not disappoint.

Dean EVOXM Short Scale Bass, Classic White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When this bass showed up at my door, I was hopeful.The box looked a bit flimsy to get it here safely from China, but I was willing to give Dean the benefit of the doubt.That was my first mistake.A small round piece fell out of the foam paper wrapping.I couldn't figure out what it was until I noticed that I could see the gear on the back of one of the tuners.This was the back cover to the tuning key.Then when I turned the bass over to inspect it, a screw fell out of the neck pickup and wouldn't thread back in.

Finally, the neck was coming apart where the headstock was glued to the rest of the neck.If I would have run my hand up the neck quickly I might have gotten a splinter.

This bass is a piece of trash and Dean should seriously consider either changing their motto: "The world's finest guitars" or FIRING their Chinese manufacturers.I have a Hamer Slammer short scale bass (Made in Indonesia) and it is a gem.Try one on for size.I got it here at Amazon, as well.This Dean bass is a turkey.

Grizzly H8068 Telecaster® Guitar Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently ordered one of these Grizzly telecaster kits due to always wanting to build my own guitar, and the very low price of this kit.My kit arrived 3 days after placing the order.All of the pieces were there, and all were in good shape.I was impressed at the quality of the woods. I knew there would have to be corners cut somewhere, and discovered that the tuners were kinda cheap, and the control pots were small and probably a little weak.I decided to go ahead and just build the guitar as-is, and not replace any of the kit pieces yet.The body was rough sanded and sprayed with sanding sealer already, but needed final sanding before finish was applied.The neck was the same, but was sanded smoother than the body was from the factory.I used a coping saw and a Dremel Tool to shape the headstock into a tele headstock.If you use the kit turners, and since the pre-drilled holes for the tuners are spaced farther apart that on a standard tele, you must slightly make the headstock shape longer if you wish to make a tele shaped head, otherwise the high E string tuner mount will not fit on the headstock.I then sanded the body and neck and just sprayed on several coats of clear Nitro.After taking care to measure and drill all holes correctly, the guitar assembled well.I built this kit over the weekend, and did not run across any nasty surprises with this kit.After completing my kit, the guitar needed a good setup.After about a full day of making adjustments to the truss rod and action and intonation, I got this guitar to play very well.If you are a tinkerer, and if you already perform your own setups to your current guitars, then this kit will serve you well.Even with stock kit parts, the guitar sounds like a tele, plays well and looks great.But, being a kit, this guitar can be either a very high quality guitar, or a sorry piece of crap, it all depends on how well YOU make it.I am well pleased with this product, and will be building my second kit soon!I will, however, probably be replacing the plastic nut with a TUSQ, and the tuners may be upgraded soon as well, along with the electronic components.Even if you decide to not use some of the kit pieces and decide to upgrade from the start, you can use this kit to build a very fine guitar for under $250 !!

Rocktron Velocity 50 Watt Stereo Guitar Amplifier With Digital Delay Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have always been a Rocktron user with my VooDu Valve. Love it. Needed something for the road, and at $168 on Amazon (over $230 everywhere else) this was a steal. I mostly use the clean channel since it breaks up wonderfully with use of the GAIN knob. Combined with the PUPs and POTs on my guitars (EMG's on my USA Made Prodigy, and my PRS SE Custom) I can basically set the break-up levels and tone to anything I want. Bought generic foot switches at B&H for $40 combined!! And have all I need for small gigs and rehearsal. I use no pedals with this AMP, just straight in. The lead (OD) channel is heavy over the top, good for Metal style, or OD's solo's.
I use it sparingly. The good thing is that with separate GAIN & VOLUME settings per channel you can switch over without blowing the windows out.
It has 2 x 10" which create more than enough surface to make this LOUD! even on volume level 2.

I haven't regretted this one moment, especially not, since I can use the LINE-OUT on the back to record with as well, it comes out after the pre-amp & effects allowing me to go into a different power amp.

Would have been complete with Reverb, but that is a different model. Why Rocktron decided to create a model with Chorus & Delay and a separate one with Chorus & Reverb is unclear (to me at least). I consciously chose the delay version and love it.

I tried many modeling amps, and they don't work for me. I don't like Line 6 sounds (tried from POD to the Spider Valve base), the Peavey's are not strong enough, and the Behrenger has too many quality issues.

I get all the sounds I need from this one by using my PUP switching, tone & volume knobs, plus having the Fender & Humbucker guitars, I get more than enough out of this. I learned long ago that you don't need a 1,000 effects to be a good player. You need ears, fingers, and practice. LOTS of it. :)

Enjoy,
JJC

BOSS ME50 Guitar Multiple Effects Pedalboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Got this unit and compared side-by-side with Line 6's Floor POD Plus for use through the PA system at my church.I was woried that the Amp Modeling function would not be very good, but I was pleasantly wrong.The line-out function into the house PA provides excellent sound.The amp-modeling is transparent to the user, and you can focus on your effects while the ME-50 manages the amp modeling to automatically give a good sound.

The metal housing and heavy duty knobs were also far superior to the Line 6 Unit.In fairness, this unit costs more than the Line 6.

Only downside is that you cannot switch thru the 10 saved sound banks with your foot, so you can only have 3 pedal settings plus whatever has been manually set for 4 settings during a song.Conversely the Line 6 provides extra pedals to allow switching sound banks on the fly.This is a minor issue for me, however, since I only use a few saved settings.

Silvertone Sessions-Master Pro Electric Guitar, Cherry Sunburst Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok, let me start by saying I was so very skeptical when I saw this guitar advertised here on Amazon.com. I was skeptical because I have played Les Paul guitars, I have played Les Paul copies, and some copies were good and some Les Paul guitars were cheap (epiphone 100 etc.). So when searching for a Les Paul copy, how do you get a good one at a really reasonable price? WEll I was convinced that I would have to spend 225.00 or more to get a decent copy. Agile had good reviews, but I kept wanting to buy the upper level to get what I want and that bordered 300.00 bucks. Well, if your going to spend that, why not get a Les Paul Studio series for about the same? Well for me, thats because the studio series didn't have all the bells and whistles. So I kept searching. HERE IS WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING!

I had nothing to go on but reviews. So I read a ton of them. Just about the time I was ready to buy I would read a bad review on the guitar I wanted. UNTIL I FOUND THIS SILVERTONE SSL3 CS. I couldn't find many reviews. But I did find one guy that was an experienced player and very eloquent in how he decribed this guitar. I was intrigued at how he had taken it to his local guitar shop to have the action tweaked a little (I will have to adjust mine a tiny bit too), But he described how the guitar shop tech was amazed at his SILVERTON SSL3, and he went on to say how the tech pulled some Les Paul guitars from the shelf and compared them. He said he was in Awe of the quality of the Silvertone. I somewhat agree.

I unboxed my Silvertone SSL3 just today and I couldn't wait to write about it. What an amazing guitar with amazing craftsmanship! The guitar is almost setup perfectly except for tiny bit of string buzz on two strings. Slightly raising the action did not cure the problem. But the guitar looks great, balanced well and sounds amazing! I forgot to mention it is total EYE CANDY also! It is beautifully constructed of obviously quality materials. The finish is perfect and flawless. This is not a light piece of junk. I cannot tell the difference in the weight and feel of a 1500 dollar Les Paul. And I paid [...] bucks with FREE SHIPPING! Did I mention, FREE SHIPPING! I really thought I would need to at least install better pickups to be satisfied because I record a lot. Well, I was pleasantly wrong about that!

After not being able to get the BUZZ out of the strings, I emailed the seller and Scott at American Music Outlet said BOX it up and ship it back. I did that and before the guitar made it back to them, they had already shipped me another one, but they took the time to set this one up perfectly for me..low action with minimal string buzz. Wow am I happy about that! These guys were awesome and do have a guitar tech to set up your guitar when you purchase it!

The ONLY thing I can say negative about this guitar other than the string buzz is really not about the guitar at all..that is the warranty card says five years. The box and the seller say lifetime warranty. But either way, it is a steal at [...] bucks and I am considering buying another just in case I need another! It says on a removable sticker on the back of the headstock that it was made in Indonesia. I had no idea they could make guitars of this quality over there.

IN CONCLUSION:This guitar gets a solid B+ only because of string buzz..its not far from an A, after my experience with American Music outlet and Scott setting up a replacement for me, I give it an A now for sure. I'm not going to say its a good guitar for the [...] money, because its a good guitar for any amount of money. This guitar should cost 300-600 bucks to get this kind of quality. But then folks would just buy a Les Paul I guess, but as for me? I don't buy it because of the name, I buy it because of the quality which usually means a brand name..but not in this case! Buy it, and if you don't love it, sell it for a profit! Most places I found this guitar want [...] dollars. Its a steal at that price. But this seller on Amazon.com has it at [...] and free shipping which is UNBELIEVABLE. Do not be afraid. I am the most critical human you will ever read a review from and this guitar is a real quality constructed beautifully sounding guitar and surpasses most Les Paul Copies I have ever seen, it surpasses many epiphone also and know this..I have to have quality and value or I am not happy. I have never been happier with a purchase in my entire life! Thank you Silvertone (Made by Samick who makes guitars for many of the BRAND NAME COMPANIES) for an incredible guitar at an amazing price.

Recording King Lap Steel Guitar, Natural Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was a huge disappointment.Read the ad and looked at the manufacturer's website and it looked like a great deal.

After arrival I unpacked the guitar and plugged it into my amp. Surprise! No sound.So I tried a different cable and still had no sound. Next, I took the back cover plate off to look at the wiring and discovered I had sound with the plate off.Put the cover plate back and had no sound.After rearranging the wires I eventually got the pickup to work with the back plate on but the sound was thin and scratchy and downright horrible.

The tuners were poorly made and the guitar would not stay in tune.The fingerboard was white and highly reflective and difficult to use for positioning (a must on a lap style instrument).

I did a cost benefit analysis of what it take to turn this into a player. I determined I would need new pots, new pickup, new tuners, and a new fingerboard. I decided that for me it wasn't worth keeping.

So I opened an RMA on Amazon.com and shipped it back. I have to say Amazon.com was extremely gracious and professional and they issued a full refund within 24 hours.

I give Amazon.com five stars but this guitar one star.

Barber Electronics Tone Press - Guitar Compression Effects Pedal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Barber Tone Press is a new style of compression pedal on the market. Although Keeley Electronics is getting more and more accolades for their 2-knob and 4-knob compressors they are also very expensive. Yes, they are built extremely well but what guitar player has $300 to throw down on a compressor?

Barber enters the compression wars with the "Parallel Compressor." What separates this from other compressors is the "blend" knob, which allows you to blend your "dry" signal with the "effected" signal and in turn giving you more tonal options. There is also a trim-pot located inside the casing so you can set the compressor for a more "Dynacomp" effect.

The build quality is top notch and it is built rugged and it only costs $150, which is much less than other boutique pedals on the market. Its 100% true-bypass and the device is built for easy serviceability if needed.

To get more out of your OD pedal try placing this behind it in the chain. You may be pleased by the results. I have one on my board and I never turn it off, with the blend knob, you do not get that "pop" of the attack. The Tone Press can also function as a clean boost with 20 db of gain, which is also a nice feature.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Barber Electronics Tone Press - Guitar Compression Effects Pedal

Product Description:
Parallel compression, a Barber innovation that blows away having to deal with attack, ratio and release knobs of other so-called "studio compressors". Barber developed a one-of-a-kind and quite proprietary continuous "blend control" circuit and combined it with a discrete "Class A" FET mixer circuit to allow you to continuously blend the natural signal of your carefully selected guitar with a "phase-corrected" classic compression circuit. The result? What guitar players have always wanted - unaltered attack and supernatural sustain and resonance, no studio engineering degree required.

Electro-Harmonix Holy Stain Multi-Effects Pedal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this for about a year. Since then I've bought separate pedals to replace each of it's functionalities. With this pedal you can only do Tremolo, Reverb, or Pitch Shift seperately, you can't stack them like a modern multi-effects (which is what EHX bills this as). There's no way to completely bypass the distorion+tone circuit and use say, the tremolo or reverb without having the tone shaped by the distortion. This pedal would almost be useful if it had a good distortion circuit. It IS an ANALOG distortion circuit, but without a gain control (yes, really, double check this before you buy it, since you have to use the distortion circuit to use the reverb/tremolo/pitch shift functionality, there is NO GAIN KNOB). You are stuck with the awful death metal "Dirt"and crunchy sounding "Drive". There is a mix knob, but the wet signal you're mixing into say, the reverb, has already been contaminated by the drive circuit's tone knob. The tone knob has a "clean" setting, but it's almost impossible to tune out.

That said, it has two really fantastic reverb settings, Hall and Room, which are fully adjustable. This is a pretty versatile reverb pedal, and if I'm not mistaken, the cheapest reverb EHX sells (as of this writing), if you can look past the distortion circuit's shortcomings. EHX makes great reverb pedals.

If you're just looking for a multi effects pedal, look elsewhere, you can buy this same functionality by buying economy pedals that do these functions separately for about the same price. This pedal does not get a lot of use from me.

Seymour Duncan Hot Rodded Guitar Humbucker Pickup Set (with SH2 Jazz and SH4 JB Guitar Pickups) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a late 90's Carvin SC90 W/ humbuckers & 2 coil splitting switches. It's a beautifully made guitar. Solid mahogany body w/ flame maple top. I hated the way it sounded. The pick ups(pups) are C-22's which are Carvin OEM. I decided to give the guitar one more chance before I got rid of it. I was going to install a Seymour Duncan JB & a '59 like I did with my Les Paul. As I was browsing on AmazonI found the Hot Rod Special (Seymour Duncan JB & Jazz). I went to the Seymour Duncan web site & listened to what the Jazz sounded like. Sounded good to me, so I placed the order with Amazon.

I received the pups in 3 days. I had never rewired a guitar before, but got through it with no problems. The guitar is now a screamer. It sounds a lot like my Les Paul only a little hotter. The split coil settings give it a Tele type sound. With the Jazz in the neck position I get a very cool single coil sound that is great for chords & a crunch type setting on my amp (Rivera).

I don't think I could have made a better choice. Remember, there is only one thing that translates what you play & that the pups. If they suck so does your sound.

Product Description:

Duncan believes that their new Matched Sets will take the guesswork out of matching complete retrofit sets of guitar pickups. All of the pickups in the matched sets are hand built in Duncan's Santa Barbara, California workshop and include all necessary mounting hardware and wiring instructions.Ever wonder what holds you back from buying new electric guitar pickups? Seymour Duncan did. So they undertook detailed market research to determine the biggest factor as to why guitar players don't make the purchase decision. It turns out that Duncan's huge array of pickups (108 different series, at last count) was working for them and against them at the same time. The biggest reason for reluctant guitarists:too many pickups from which to choose.Recently, Seymour Duncan released their most popular pickup models in pre-matched sets, to take the guesswork out of determining which pickups work well together. The initial release of matched sets includes pickups targeted to a specific type of player and their musical taste.Seymour Duncan SH-2 Jazz Model Features and SpecificationsApplicationClassic moderate output humbucker.
