It is a nice piece, looks great and sounds it as well. I'm a total amateur so take that with a grain of salt.Be warned though, this item does NOT include strap, cover or cord to connect to amp so be sure to purchase those as well.

Luna Gypsy Neo Electric Guitar,Natural Mahogany Review

Luna Gypsy Neo Electric Guitar,Natural Mahogany
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received this guitar for Christmas, so I've had it for about seven months. I use the Line 6 FloorPOD effects board for it. It is my first electric, but I've played many electrics, including my friend's PRS Custom 24. By no means does this guitar compare, but for an up-and-coming company such as Luna, this being the bottom end of their guitar choices, this guitar is excellent. I got it in great condition (although in came in a Dean Guitars box???). I love the way it sounds with my effects board and I really don't need to use an amp when plugged into a sound system. I love the clean sound of the guitar as well as my distortion sounds. I couldn't ask for a better guitar after paying the mere $215 I got for it. I payed more for a Fender acoustic that I am not as proud of. This guitar is great for a beginning guitarist or for a first electric. Excellent job by Luna guitars and, if I upgrade, it will be with Luna.

First Act ME445 Designer Double Cutaway Electric Guitar Review

First Act ME445 Designer Double Cutaway Electric Guitar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
About a year and a half ago, I bought the First Act ME501 for a whopping $59, and loved it.I loved it so much, I took it on stage with me, and it eventually became my first choice over my $600 American Standard Telecaster.It was reliable, and sounded great through my Tech 21 amp.

A few weeks ago, trolling the Ebay site, I spotted the ME445 going for less than $50 - I bought it...once again rationalizing the purchase due to its low price.When it arrived, once again, I was pleased with the craftsmanship of the instrument.I plugged it into the Tech 21, and was quite satisfied with the tone.Whereas the ME501 has a more crunchy, garage band tone, the ME445 has a much creamier and bluesy tone to it.It also seems a little lighter than my ME501, however, it's got terrific sustain.Just like my 501, it stays in tune like a champ.

I still see where people are relegating First Acts to the bottom of the musical instrument spectrum, which is too bad.I've gone broke buying Gibsons and Fenders over the years - First Act builds terrific instruments that stand up just fine with the pricier status symbol guitars.

The ME445 is a terrific guitar bargain for those just learning.In my case, a veteran guitar player of over 20 years, I'm comfortable bringing this axe on stage with me - it looks cool and sounds great...I wouldn't hesitate to buy this again...

too; let you know that my guitar "did not come with a warrent card" & i don't know if the guitar was set for useage !!!dean guitars are problems they say it's all good but it's a lie!!!

Product Description:
Dean's X series offers some of Dean's most popular body styles--the ML, V, and Z--at an affordable price. But they don't skimp on components, with a pair of high-output Dean humbuckers, Grover tuners, a Tune-o-Matic bridge. Dean style and dependability are an added bonus.

VX at a Glance


    Body wood: Basswood
    Neck Construction: Bolt-on
    Neck wood: Maple
    Fretboard: Rosewood
    Inlays: Dot
    Frets: 22
    Scale: 24-3/4"
    Bridge: Tune-o-Matic
    Pickups: Zebra Dean Humbuckers
    Controls: 2 Volume, Tone, Three-way Switch
    Tuners: Grover
    Hardware: Chrome
    Finish: Braziliaburst


Tune-o-Matic bridge and Dean zebra humbuckers.


Classic Dean headstock with Grover tuners.


The Dean X Series
The Dean X Series offers ML, V and Z style guitars at a price that won't break the bank. These guitars feature maple necks, rosewood fretboards, dual humbuckers, and plenty of Dean mojo, and are built to rock--perfect for beginners and veterans alike.Basswood Body
The VX features a lightweight basswood body. Basswood is great for heavier rock and metal styles, delivering a nice even tone that feeds a dirt pedal (or a dimed Marshall) nicely.Bolt-On Construction
Bolt-on neck construction provides an affordable alternative to set-neck or thru-body designs. The advantage of this design is that if you do have any neck trouble down the line, you can easily replace it. The VX's maple neck features an ultra-playable 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, with classic dot inlays.Dean Humbucker Pickups
To capture the biting tones of vintage Deans, the company includes two of its standard humbuckers, in black-and-white "zebra" style for looks as good as the sounds. And what to expect tonally? These pickups should provide more than enough bite for modern styles, along with plenty of low-end and midrange definition. The standard three-way selector allows bridge, neck, or a combination. Each pickup gets a volume pot, and they share the tone control.Grover Tuners
If you play guitar then you know what this means--solid, dependable tuning from the industry standard. These guitar machines are a triumph in engineering and style, with a gear ratio of 14:1, perfect gear meshing, and zero backlash and slippage. The gear box has a special lubricant for lifetime, trouble-free service.
Tune-o-Matic Bridge
The Tune-o-Matic bridge with string-thru body design provides serious sustain, along with precise intonation for your tuning preference. The classic v-shaped plate mirrors the headstock wings for some nice vintage Dean style.

I bought this guitar for my husband last Christmas...unfortunately, they sent the wrong guitar and I had to give it to him a week early b/c their return/exchange policy is so restricted and finite.We ended up returning and not exchanging because of their unwillingness to be flexible during to holiday season with regards to returns and exchanges.Also, the wrong colored guitar had a BIG scuff mark on it and it took FOREVER and several emails (they don't have a phone system) for the company to refund my money.As for the quality... I couldn't tell you.

First Act 222 Designer Electric Guitar Pack - White (AL222) Review

First Act 222 Designer Electric Guitar Pack - White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Let me first start by saying I previously owned a $500 Harmony guitar, which was a beautifully designed guitar with great style and sound.

With that in mind, I was looking for an affordable way for me to get back into guitar playing and casually recording, after about 7 years of not playing.I was hesitant to purchase a "cheapy guitar," as I've been quite snobby about the $500 and up brands, but I have a family now and I am in a limited income to afford such splurges.

This guitar easily blew me away.This is not a cheap imitation of a Fender or a Gibson.It has a very distinctive tone, which I am amazed at.For this price, you won't beat the quality of guitar you're getting.I can't lie and say it holds a candle to the expensive brands, but I can say this guitar is a dark horse in the competitive guitar market, and it has a quality and sound unequaled by other beginning guitars.It has an absolutely brilliant and bright tone.I am pleasantly surprised, and I look forward to playing this guitar for some time to come.

As far as the cons?The guitar itself is very hardy, and sounds wonderful.However, the amp leaves much to be desired.With the tone and gain turned all the way down, the sound is great.However, just one notch either way and it sounds like a malfunctioning loudspeaker at Jack in the Box.

Also, the guitar strap isn't the most comfortable and doesn't latch well to the knobs.This is a cheap replacement, though.The audio cord is very cheaply made, as well, and is quite flimsy.I wouldn't doubt it gets static very soon.It does do it's job, however.I just doubt it will have a long life.

Overall, this is a great guitar, a great value, and I recommend it for the beginner or the casual player, excusing the flaws of it's accessories.

AXL Badwater Dual Pickup 1216 Electric Guitar, Antique Brown Review

AXL Badwater Dual Pickup 1216 Electric Guitar, Antique Brown
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been an active musician for over ten years, with bass being my main instrument for the first 7-8, and (due to a pinky injury) guitar becoming my main for the last few. Another thing you might like to know is that this is my first LES PAUL-based guitar. In other words I've never had a short scale guitar before, so it's kind of a new experience for me in a way.

Before I give you the pros and cons as I see them, let me just tell you that for the money IT ABSOLUTELY ROCKS! You will not find a guitar this cheap and is this gorgeous, plays and sounds this well. So, just keep that in mind.

Appearance: This is the strong point of this company in general. The guitar looks amazing! Although the color you see on the stock photo is not exactly the same, in real life it's more solid dark brown than the woody color seen in the pics, but still very beautiful. Even though the body is supposed to be "distressed", it seems that out of all the Badwater series this one is the least distressed. At worst, it looks like a guitar that's been actively used for a couple of years. The front of the body looks almost brand new, while the back of it is lightly worn out as if the guitar was played in a standing position. There are a few scratches, but almost invisible. I guess they thought this one is too beautiful as it is, and they felt sorry to damage it :). Now, the binding looks very filthy and old, so it does not balance the body's "age" well, but it's no biggie. Hardware is aged nicely, and the inlay blocks are cool as well. Otherwise, a total Les Paul knock-off.

Set-up: Again, very impressive. For a guitar at this price level, I've never seen a guitar so well set up. The intonation is close to perfect, and there is virtually no fret-buzz.

Sound and features: The pickups are very good, not top-notch, but hey it's a $225.00 guitar! They sound vintage-y, in other words - very nice. Great for blues, rock and hard-rock but not a metal axe, though. The tuners are the weakest point, as far as I can tell. They hold up OK, but not as good as I was hoping, so I might replace them eventually. The body is alder, so it doesn't weigh nearly as much as mahogany, something the Les Pauls are notorious for. I'm still getting used to the feel of the short scale and the softness of the strings, so if you are used to a longer scale guitar (Fender, Ibanez etc.) keep in mind that you will not get the same "spank", and you won't be able to strum as hard (strings might bend out of pitch), but it is a lot easier to fret barre chords and bend strings. I might get thicker gauge strings, and raise the action a tad.

All in all, the guitar is amazing. I would give it 4.5 out of 5, because of the tuners, and the fact that it's not as distressed as the rest of the Badwater series guitar. Nothing this good in this price range out there.

Product Description:
The Badwater 1216 (AL-820) is built with a set rock maple neck, 2 EMG-designed Alnico humbuckers and a classic-style single cutaway design. The guitar's rosewood fretboard helps deliver a warm, thick tone. The scale length is a traditional 24 3/4" for vintage punch. Each 1216 guitar body has been distressed individually by the AXL workshop, so no two are alike. The 1216 comes with carefully distressed pickguard, tone and volume knobs, and anodized tuning machines, bridge assembly and strap buttons for a unique look and vintage feel.

Silvertone Sessions-Master Pro Electric Guitar, Cherry Sunburst Review

Silvertone Sessions-Master Pro Electric Guitar, Cherry Sunburst
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.

Average Reviews:

Dean EVO XM (black)

Positive(s): Great look. Great feel. Excellent quality. Sweet sound. Stays in tune a long time. Looks great. Came with 6 foot long cord. Was prestrung (but had to tune it, of course). Totally worth the money!!

Negative(s): When it arrived, the nuts holding the knobs and the switch were a little loose. I tightened them and all was well. It only took me about 2 minutes to tighten them.

Concerns: Does not come with a strap or stand (no big deal, just letting you know).

Delivery Concern: The guitar itself was packed in a "Dean" guitar box with minimal protection around it (no big deal if it were just sitting in a warehouse somewhere waiting to be purchased). When it was delivered to me, Amazon packed it in an additional, larger box but there was only about 2 pieces of packing paper protecting it and keeping the "dean" box from moving around. Luckily my guitar arrived undamaged which was a surprise due to the lack of packaging materials used. Pack your packages better, Amazon!

Dean Vendetta Guitar, XM with Tremelo, Trans Black Review

Dean Vendetta Guitar, XM with Tremelo, Trans Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm writing this review to help beginners. For those who don't know, a tremelo is a whammy-bar. this guitar "DOES NOT" have one. But this is still an excelent beginners axe with better sustain than much more expensive guitars. I would'nt worry too much about a whammy-bar right now, the guitar goes out of tune right after the first couple of whammy-bar dive bombs. I have a tremelo on my Vendetta XMT, and never use ir for that very reason. I don't miss it at all. So, heres the meat and potatos- this axe has more than decent pick-ups, it delivers a huge range of tones. It sounds great clean and distorted. This is a great rock guitar and an awsome METAL axe. You name it, and it can do it. You're only limited by your own skill. And speaking of skill levels, this is a very forgiving axe, the neck is not lightning fast, but is still very fast and easy to manipulate. Again the string-through body gives it amazing sustain. The volume and tone controls are not the best, but they get the job done, and something you'll find on any axe in this price range. Also this is a real full-size 24 fret guitar. The Jackson's and Ibanez's in this price range are 22 fret, or short scale guitars. Last but not least make sure you get the guitar (SET-UP) before you play it. The set-up is extremely important, All quality guitar shops will do this for free-just for buying the guitar. So insist on it, or pay a guitar-shop $30-$60 later. The set-up does more than make your guitar sound right, it helps you learn easier- because everything works corectly. So, at the end of the day, I would definately buy another Dean. I hope this review was helpful.

The Dean Vendetta Series
With four models to choose from, the Vendettas have string-through-body design, classic Dean V Ferrule pattern, dual Humbuckers, a 25.5-inch scale, and solid mahogany bodies with a maple neck. The Vendetta 1.0 and 2.0 are bolt-on models with black hardware. The 2.0 model features a solid flame maple top. The Vendetta 3.0 and 4.0 sport neck-through construction with the Pearl Evil Eye inlay running the length of the fretboard. The 4.0 version has a beautiful quilted maple top and is available in an all too popular "Tiger Eye" finish. Paulownia Body
Paulownia is an increasingly popular substitute for mahogany in more affordable guitar models. It's a fast-growing, hearty tree native to Japan and Southeast Asia, and has traditionally been used for Asian string instruments.As a lightweight, porous body wood, Paulownia is somewhat similar to swamp ash in its sonic signature: very resonant, with plenty of chime and a nice, tight low-end.

To capture the biting tones of vintage Deans, the company includes two humbuckers.

This is a great guitar for beginner or expert.
It's sold and well built.
The sound from it is great.
You can spend more for a guitar but why? This does just about everything thing you could want a guitar to do.
If you have kids that want to start playing or if you want to learn, this is the guitar for you.
I would also recommend Intelli IMT-900 Chromatic Clip-on Tuner. It does not use sound it uses the vibrations of the strings to tune your guitar. So if you are in a noisy room, cheep amp, etc.. it will not effect the tuning.

Hope this helps

The pictures do not do this guitar justice. It is simply stunning to look at. The quality of the workmanship is excellent. It's not a Les Paul, but its the next best thing.

Product Description:
Dean's X Series offers some of Dean's most popular body styles--the ML, V, and Z--at an affordable price. But they don't skimp on components, with a pair of high-output Dean humbuckers, Grover tuners, a Tune-o-Matic bridge. Dean style and dependability are an added bonus.

Tune-o-Matic bridge and Dean zebra humbuckers.


Classic Dean headstock with Grover tuners.


The Dean X Series
The Dean X Series offers ML, V and Z style guitars at a price that won't break the bank. These guitars feature maple necks, rosewood fretboards, dual humbuckers, and plenty of Dean mojo, and are built to rock--perfect for beginners and veterans alike.Basswood Body
The MLX features a lightweight basswood body. Basswood is great for heavier rock and metal styles, delivering a nice even tone that feeds a dirt pedal (or a dimed Marshall) nicely.Bolt-On Construction
Bolt-on neck construction provides an affordable alternative to set-neck or thru-body designs. The advantage of this design is that if you do have any neck trouble down the line, you can easily replace it. The Dimeblade's maple neck features an ultra-playable 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, with classic dot inlays.Dean Humbucker Pickups
To capture the biting tones of vintage Deans, the company includes two of its standard humbuckers, in black-and-white "zebra" style for looks as good as the sounds. And what to expect tonally? These pickups should provide more than enough bite for modern styles, along with plenty of low-end and midrange definition. The standard three-way selector allows bridge, neck, or a combination. Each pickup gets a volume pot, and they share the tone control.Grover Tuners
If you play guitar then you know what this means--solid, dependable tuning from the industry standard. These guitar machines are a triumph in engineering and style, with a gear ratio of 14:1, perfect gear meshing, and zero backlash and slippage. The gear box has a special lubricant for lifetime, trouble-free service.
Tune-o-Matic Bridge
The Tune-o-Matic bridge with string-thru body design provides serious sustain, along with precise intonation for your tuning preference. The classic v-shaped plate mirrors the headstock wings for some nice vintage Dean style.

Crate TX15 Battery Powered Guitar Amp Combo, 15W Review

Crate TX15 Battery Powered Guitar Amp Combo, 15W
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This little amp is really appropriate for buskers.Plug in an acoustic (with pickup) or an electric guitar, and a mic at the same time.Mic input is XLR (low Z) or standard 1/4" (hi Z)- the flexibility is great.Website says that the tone controls (4 band) are for both channels.On mine, now about four years old, the tone controls only apply to channel two.Channel one is "straight" into the amp.They may have changed the specs since mine was made.

Overall the amp is great for the money.Good little practice amp and good for small solo/duo gigs.I've also used it as a mini-monitor if I can get an output from the bands board/mixer.I take it on vacation and play at the beach or on my tailgate.Great for taking in the backyard and plugging in an mp3 player or DVD player (using an input adapter).

PROS:
-Relatively inexpensive
-Runs on battery OR AC power
-Dual inputs
-Good tone controls
-Fairly rugged construction (good cabinet, handle, grille and fasteners, etc)
CONS
-RCA/phono inputs for a CD player are slightly out of date.A 3.5 mm phone input for mp3 player would be much more useful.Also the RCA inputs have absolutely no volume control (and no tone control) so you are dependent on the CD player (or mp3 player) to control the volume.
-Pretty flat tone.No distortion or effects.If you want any grit/breakup or reverb you'll need a pedal(s).
-Reports that SLM Electronics has sold the Crate lineup and parts are now much more difficult to get.

Epiphone G-310 SG Collection Electric Guitar, Red Review

Epiphone G-310 SG Collection Electric Guitar, Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got the epiphone sg over the g-400 (too expensive) as a practice and recording guitar for our band. It plays and sounds far better than any Yamaha Pacifica with the dual humbuckers giving it a meaty sound.

However, it pales in conparison to the real Gibsons due to the dodgy electronics, the bolt on neck, the dodgy color and the hard playing at anything below the 15th fret. I also own a squier p-bass special which, for around the same price, offers far better value for money (even with the dodgy electronics-the bane of cheap guitarists)

Product Description:
Based on the 1967 SG, the Epiphone G-310 has all the SG style and features you want, but with bolt-neck affordability. It also has a full pickguard and sports two hot open-coil Humbucking pickups with individual volume and tone controls.

SG style and features with bolt-neck affordability.




Twin open-coil humbuckers and the industry-standard Tune-O-Matic bridge.
Rosewood fretboard with dot inlays.
Angled Headstock
Unlike cheaper designs, all Epiphones feature a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut and so you get more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets.
Double-Waxed Pickups
Epiphone utilizes a double vacuum waxing process that ensures optimum performance. The pickup is first placed in the specialized wax vacuuming system before the cover is put in place to ensure that the wax fully penetrates to the very center of the pickup and solidifies all parts. After the cover is placed on, it is again given a second vacuum wax bath until the unit is completely saturated with wax.
Output Jack
To increase reliability and ensure consistent performance, Epiphone's proprietary output jacks feature an improved contact shape and heavy-duty spring steel.
Toggle Switches
All Epiphones feature our all-metal, USA designed switches for reliable contact and longer life.
Tunomatic Bridge
Fully adjustable, the tunomatic remains a classic after over 50 years. Unlike guitars fitted with tremolos, there are no tuning or re-stringing difficulties. Plus, tone and sustain are improved because all string vibrations are transferred directly to the guitar.
Potentiometers
Epiphone is passionate about performance. That's why their instruments use one-inch diameter potentiometers for better "throw," longer life and reliable service.
Quick-Connectors
For unequalled reliability as well as ease of service, Epiphone wiring harnesses feature quick-connectors.
Specs

    Pickups: Two open-coil humbuckers
    Hardware: Chrome

Bought it, liked it, ok for the price but i wouldn't recommend buying from sam ash the guitar was ok but the packaging was horrid and poorly put together.On a different note the guitar doesn't stay in tune too long and i was expecting more because it was a washburn but the price tag says it all the WI15 is a lot better for $40 more so just put two more twenties in the bank.
