Squier by Fender Standard Stratocaster Left Handed Rosewood, Black Metallic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Squier by Fender Standard Stratocaster Left Handed is my first guitar, and it is a fantastic instrument. I had no trouble teaching myself the basic chords and favorite songs of mine with this guitar.
It comes with a tremolo system, which requires assembly. I haven't put mine in yet, but I'm sure it's very easy to do. It also comes with three small Allen wrenches, as well as a spring, of which I do not know its purpose. It comes pre-strung, so you won't have to mess with stringing for your first time when you get it. The factory strings broke in about two weeks, but no factory strings will last long. Also add in the fact that I was playing it for hours each day.
The rosewood fretboard is very smooth and comfortable, which any guitarist can appreciate. The guitar body itself is beautiful, and has contours that you cannot see well, if at all, on the product photos. Choosing a guitar color is a subjective call from the guitarist, but I think most people will enjoy beholding the black metallic.
I really have nothing negative to say about the Squier by Fender Standard Stratocaster Left Handed. Just buy or be ready to buy guitar strings, because the factory strings will most likely break relatively soon. Awesome guitar!

The left-handed Squier Standard Stratocaster plays great, with traditional vibe and modern feel. Player-friendly features like the slimmer neck and 22-fret fingerboard make for easier playing, and the die-cast tuners are lifetime-lubricated for years of trouble-free service and tuning stability. A twin-pivot bridge with satin-anodized saddles provides smooth tremolo action, and the single-coil alnico pickups sound great! Available with maple or rosewood fingerboard.

Taylor SolidBody Classic Electric Guitar Transparent White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this guitar a couple of weeks ago and have given her a little time to settle in and find her place in my world. I was a bit skeptical when I first saw that Taylor was making a solid-body electric guitar. I was in the market for a new guitar and have owned nothing but acoustic guitars for the last 8 years so I figured it was time to get an electric guitar. I hold the belief that for the most part you get what you pay for and knew I wanted to get a guitar that would be with me for a long time. Fender Strats sound awesome but I personally don't like their feel. I'd love a Gibson Les Paul but was already looking at a chunk of change to buy one. I saw that this transparent white beauty was at my local guitar shop and decided that since I was "just looking" anyway, I would give her a try. I was thoroughly impressed. Taylor makes a great guitar. It may be that I come from playing acoustic guitars but I love the neck on this thing. The finish is gorgeous (you really need to see it in person to get the full effect). The pickups cover a broad set of sounds and the sound this thing produces is something I quite enjoy. Taylor makes a case specifically for it that it fits in perfectly with no slop. As of right now I'm just as in love with this thing as I was in the first place. I'd recommend it to anyone. One thing I've always heard about buying a guitar is make sure it feels good to YOU, and for ME this one is "just right".

The Taylor solidbody electric guitar has arrived! Featuring original new pickups, a sleek all-aluminum bridge, fresh body design, proprietary neck-to-body construction, and unique switching capabilities, Taylor's innovative imprints are all over their Classic Electric Guitar.The unique Taylor-designed pickups are the foundation the Taylor solid bodies are built on. The Classic is loaded with 3/4-size humbuckers featuring a new type of magnet and special winding process. The combination creates vintage humbucker sound with the power and dynamic range of modern pickups.Five pickup settings with carefully chosen voicings give you a great range of tones: 1) Neck pickup2) "Skinny neck tone"--two inside coils from both pickups wired in parallel3) "In-between rock tone"--both coils of neck pickup combined with the inside coil of bridge pickup for classic bright single-coil tone with the added fullness of neck tone. Great for semi-distorted amp setting.4) Fat single-coil--two inside coils from both pickups in series (north from neck and south from bridge) creating, in effect, a 4" humbucker.5) Bridge pickupThe swamp ash body is beveled on the back, sides and in the cutaway so you're always playing in comfort and able to easily reach the upper frets. The maple neck features the single bolt T-Lock™ neck joint that pulls the neck into the body. The simple yet ingenious jigsaw joint shape provides a set neck feel and accurate intonation.The bridge, also Taylor-designed, is amazing smooth across the top. It looks and feels clean and classy.

Sweaty hands? Taylor includes rubber O-ring grips that slip over the knobs.For years, Bob Taylor was asked if they were going to build a solid body electric, and for years, the answer was no. Bob's thinking was simple: he wasn't going to bui

Ibanez EWC30ASERLG EXOTIC WOOD SERIES Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I didnt buy this here (AMS actually), but i thought i'd leave my review of this guitar. It has a big sound and tone reminiscent of a lower end Taylor or upper end Martin, but without the price tag. The pre-amp is pretty good, and comes with phase and chorus, plus a built in tuner. Plus, it is a really nice looking guitar. All in all, if you have the opportunity, grab one. It's well worth the $400 or so you will pay (pretty much has a $1000 guitar sound).

Yamaha L Series LL6 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar with Case, Tinted Natural Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These Chinese made beauties truly uphold the Yamaha tradition of tone and build quality and for under $600. This is the tried and true recipe of Englemen spruce over rosewood back and sides with a perfectly rendered mahogany neck. These guitars (according to the dealer) undergo the Yamaha "Acoustic Equilibrium Process". The sound is deep and full with a great ringing top end and chords in all positions intonate wonderfully. In open tunings the resonance and tone colors just expand even more. I installed a K&K Pure Western Mini undersaddle transducer so i could plug in ,and again ,i can't say enough about how satisfying the tone and feel is. Equally rewarding either strummed or played fingerstyle, this guitar has what I would rate as an above average amount of natural dynamic volume range and doesn't get overly compressed when pushed hard.Intonation also remains consistent with capoing. The bottom line here is that for the price, this is an exceptional instrument. My how times have changed........

With a solid Engelmann spruce top, multilayered mahogany/rosewood reinforced neck, and ebony fretboard, the Yamaha LL6 acoustic guitar can be judged an excellent deal on materials alone. Yet where this dreadnought really shines is on the strength of its handcrafted construction by expert Japanese luthiers. Every step in the creation of this excellent musical instrument, from tonewood selection to hand-sanding the frets, is done in a small factory by master craftsmen.Body topMost manufacturers are using Sitka spruce tops for their high end models. In Yamaha's experience, Engelmann spruce from Canada naturally suits the role for top woods better than any other. The overriding quality for body top material is an allowance for resonance and Engelmann spruce has this attribute in abundance. It is a light wood that is easy to work and enables a good tone response with a wide harmonic range. Visually Engelmann spruce is comfortable on the eye and its opaque light yellow tint is reminiscent of a mature acoustic instrument. Back & sideYamaha uses rosewood for both the back and sides on all the L series models. The rosewood blends extremely well with the Engelmann spruce top. It disperses resonance evenly and effortlessly.Neck blockThe neck block reinforces the neck joint. Yamaha has improved the conventional C block design by enlarging the surface area that is in contact with the top of the guitar. The block securely meets the underside of the top adding a real depth to the tone of the instrument.BracingX-bracing maps out the vibration patterns of the guitar. Each of the eight braces has been carefully positioned in order to bring out the tone in a balanced fashion and find a natural harmony with the guitar's tone woods.Multilayered reinforced neckTraditionally, an acoustic guitar neck is carved from a single timber block. As the grain of the timber has to be angled at about 14 degrees to accommodate the headstock, it leaves itself vulnerable to excessive stress. To alleviat

Epiphone Lefty G-400 SG Collection Electric Guitar, Cherry Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've wanted an SG for quite some time. I was going to get a Gibson SG, but figured I'd start with an Epiphone first to see that I liked enough about it to get the Gibson. For the price, this is a well built and designed guitar. As a guitarist of 20+ years, the first thing I do with any guitar is put MY strings on it and set it up to my liking (any review that includes a guitar's set up "right out of the box" is not relevant to a review as each player requires different set ups).
My favorite guitar in my collection is my Epiphone Les Paul standard, so I was comparing every step of the way with the SG to that. Obvious differences aside, the Epiphone SG satisfies me greatly and I'll be using it in all of my music. The body is light and comfy, sharp design. Grover tuners do a good job. The pickups sound really good and, of course, if you're looking for clarity and "umph" comparable to a Gibson you'd want to drop new pickups in the Epiphone. I'm leaving mine in. If the guitar is set up properly it provides a nice balance in tone across the board.
The craftsmanship is very good. Inlays are nice and clean, all screws are straight, neck joint solid, and the finish is beautiful. All moving parts are solid and tight, in great working order. I have no complaints about this guitar.
So, if you're looking for a great guitar at a great price, and want to give a little shout out to Angus Young, Toni Iommi, or Pepper Keenan, go for the Epiphone SG-400. As I pointed out, this is my second Epiphone and I can say that their guitars are very sturdy and dependable.
Enjoy!

A true icon guitar, the SG was originally a successor Les Paul model from '61 to '68. This edition of the prized 1962 SG boasts the power and merciless sustain you expect to shake you all night long. It's constructed of a Mahogany neck glued into a Mahogany body with twin Alnico Classic Humbucking pickups.

The Power and Merciless Sustain You Expect.

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.

Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500MCE Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Natural Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Outstanding Guitar for the money. Sounds great unplugged but really sings off an amp with the built in stringer pick up. Nice having the on board tuner as well. High quality in a mid-priced guitar.

The Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500MCE guitar combines traditional construction methods and features with premium all-solid tone woods to bring you a new-vintage electric guitar with deep, rich lows, shimmering highs, and just the right amount of mids. While many other guitars in this price class use pressed backs, spliced neck joints, and even artificial wood backs and sides, you can be assured that this Epiphone guitar holds true to its all-solid wood promise. It features a solid Sitka spruce top, hand-scalloped Sitka spruce braces, mahogany kerfing, a 25-1/2"-scale rosewood fingerboard, and a rosewood bridge. Players looking for vintage tone and vibe will appreciate the handcrafted dovetail neck joint and hide-glue construction. The Epiphone DR-500MCE guitar has a solid mahogany back and sides, as well as a 20-fret, hand-shaped mahogany neck that joins the body at the 14th fret, which is adorned with carefully cut, split-diamond pearl fretboard inlays. As with all Masterbilts, the Epiphone electric guitar features a vintage-style offset headstock with a stickpin inlay.While the Epiphone DR-500MCE sounds great unplugged, it really comes alive when plugged in—thanks to the eSonic2 preamp system. Made in cooperation with Shadow Germany, the eSonic2 preamp features a built-in, easy-to-use tuner. When engaged, the Epiphone guitar's output is automatically muted—with no popping noise—making it a perfect choice for stage use. You can even push in the tuner button and unplug the guitar without a loud pop. Other controls on this state-of-the-art preamp include Master Volume, NanoFlex Tone, NanoMag Tone, Stereo Blend, Low Battery indicator, and a Phase switch to help eliminate unwanted feedback. The preamp uses two 2032 lithium watch batteries that are not only lightweight, but provide significantly longer life than old-fashioned, heavy 9V batteries. Under the bone saddle is Shadow's proprietary NanoFlex, a low-impedance pickup. Not a piezo, this unique flexib

Taylor Guitars 214, Grand Auditorium, Solid Sitka Spruce Top, Rosewood Back/Sides, Left Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Taylor 214 is a beautiful work of art. The sound quality is simply amazing. Everytime I play it I am overwhelmed by the sound and ease of play.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Taylor Guitars 214, Grand Auditorium, Solid Sitka Spruce Top, Rosewood Back/Sides, Left

The 214's quality, style, and attractive price tag are compelling before you even pick one up, and that first strum backs it all up with great tone. Left-handed model.



The Taylor 200 Series The 200 Series redefines what a mid-priced guitar can be. A satin, solid Sitka spruce top meets gorgeous Indian rosewood laminate back and sides, delivering the quality sound and feel you'd expect from a Taylor. Plug in with the optional Taylor electronics and take your performance to the stage with confidence.
Sitka Spruce Top Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis) grows in a coastal "pocket" from Northern California to Alaska. This dense, straight-grained wood has the highest strength and elasticity-to-weight ratio among available tonewoods, an attribute that makes it an ideal material not only for our soundboards, but for our internal bracing, as well. Sitka produces a slightly brighter tone than does Engelmann.
Indian Rosewood Laminate Back/Sides Indian Rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia) is coveted by players and guitar builders alike for its dark, luxurious coloration, which ranges from brown to purple to rose to black, and for tonal characteristics that include a strong bass response and long sustain. It remains the most popular tonewood used in the making of high-quality acoustic guitars.
Grand Auditorium Body Shape The Grand Auditorium was the first guitar shape designed from scratch by Bob Taylor. It was unveiled to commemorate the company's 20th Anniversary in 1994, and since then it has more than lived up to its promise. Although the GA has the width and depth of a Dreadnought, its narrower waist gives it the appearance of a smaller instrument, adds treble "zing" across the guitar's tonal spectrum, sharpens the definition of individual notes, and also enables it to rest comfortably in the lap. Because we remove mass from the width of the GA's braces, the guitar top moves faster, resulting in a snappy, bell-like tone. The GA, available as a 6- or 12-sting, is designed to be a strong fingerpicking guitar that also can handle medium strumming, and is exceptionally versatile.
Chrome-Plate Tuners Taylor Tuners continue the industry-leading 18:1 gear ratio that they've been using, yet yield even greater precision with the help of a manufacturing process that employs the same gear-cutting machines used by Swiss watchmakers. The more precisely-machined gears virtually eliminate the slight "slop", or slack, typical among tuners, which makes it even easier for Taylor owners to get--and stay--in tune. Taylor Tuners also feature an elegant aesthetic touch, with the Taylor logo cleanly etched on the back.

Taylor Guitars GS Mini Reduced Scale Grand Symphony Acoustic Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The GS Mini is a terrific little instrument. Because of the Grand Auditorium shape, it doesn't look like a toy (e.g.,the Baby Taylor). The intonation is spot-on and with the short scale, it feels much "faster" than a full-sized guitar.
The sound is not as full or rich as a regular-sized Taylor, but what it lacks in subtlety, it makes up in volume...it's amazingly loud for a miniature guitar.
The gig bag is well made and has backpack straps, so there's no reason to leave it behind when you travel. I've had mine for about 3 weeks, and I haven't touched either of my full-sized guitars since I got it. It's really fun to play.
My only reservation would be to guitarists with exceptionally large hands or fingers. The fingerboard can get a little crowded.
Highly recommended and a great value.
