ZT Lunchbox 200-watt 1x6.5 Guitar Combo Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This amp will not blow away a quality amp with a bigger speaker. But, for a 9 lb amp, it's remarkable. Out of the box, it is very dry and even a little harsh sounding, but, with some outboard reverb and EQ, it can sound quite good. It retains its sound quality at high volume (I played it with keys, bass...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Great Bass for the price ....but beware this bass does not come with black hardware as stated in the descriptionI got stuck with chrome ...not worth sending back....but may complain to amazon.Click Here to see more reviews about: ESP LTD B55 5 String Electric Bass Guitar (Black)The ESP B55 5 string bass...

Applause by Ovation AE148-RRB Acoustic Electric Guitar Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is the perfect guitar for someone who wants a guitar with the sound of an acoustic but which frets with the ease of an electric. I immediately restrung mine (with Martin's FX Phosphor & Silk), because the strings it came with over-tensioned the neck when I brought the guitar up to standard tuning....

Epiphone Limited Edition Riviera Custom P93 Electric Guitar, Wine Red Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Before I purchased this instrument, I read a lot of reviews. Some good, some not so good. Biggest complaint was that the instrument was not assembled well and had lose parts when it arrived. Some other complaints was about the action. Blues requires heavier strings, higher action, and wider frets. This...

Blackstar HT-5 Series HT-5H 5W Tube Guitar Amp Head, Black Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Played one of these at Guitar Center. It was the Blackstar HT-5 Head hooked up to 2 10" Blackstar cabs. Used a PRS Singlecut SE with it. They also had an Egnater Rebel Head. The Blackstar HT-5 sounded way better than the Egnater IMO and was able to get decent high gain tones at lower volume. The ISF...

Takamine GS430S G NEX Acoustic Guitar, Satin Cedar Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've been playing guitar since caveman times. I've been looking for something smaller than my Martin dreadnought--for a new tone in my recordings, and to have a guitar I can sit on the couch and play comfortably. I saw this in GC, picked it up and fell in love. OK, fell in like. It's easy to play, sounds...

Schecter Tempest Custom Electric Guitar - Black Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This one is a keeper. I have had my Schecter Tempest Custom in gloss black with gold hardware since February, 2010. The intonation on this guitar is fantastic. The neck is smooth and fast. While the factory Grover tuners were OK, I found I was retuning after every 2 songs or so. So, I put a set of Sperzel...

Line 6 Spider IV 150 150-watt 2x12 Modeling Guitar Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have played the guitar and other instruments for a little over 50 years. I have a collection of fine guitars that is modest in number but consists of some of the best instruments made. I am retired and play my music in a studio in my home that contains only two amplifiers and all the audio equipment...

Gallien-Krueger 115MBE 400-Watt Ultra Light Bass Guitar Cabinet with Horn Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This GK bass cabinet is the best sounding cabinet I've ever used in this price range. It rivals cabinets that are twice the price (and weight!). This new material that GK uses to enclose its speakers is space-age. The cabinet weighs about 35lbs and even an old rocker like myself can tote this in my car...

Fender Super Champ XD Electric Guitar Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Fender finally did it, designed and built the best practice amp in the world. Bear in mind, the cynic in me usually tempers hyperbole about products. In any case, this amp sounds great regardless of what's driving it; I currently play a Gibson ES-175D, an Epiphone Sheraton, and a Yamaha Pacifica equipped...

Fernandes Nomad Standard Electric Guitar - Hot Rod Flames Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought my Nomad (aka ZO-3) when I was living in Japan in '95, and it's held up like it was brand new.(ZO-3 = ZOsan. "Zo" means elephant. 3 is "san" in Japanese. Mr. Elephant And if you look at it, it looks kinda like an elephant.)The sound it is able to put out with just a 9 volt battery is amazing...

Cort Curbow 5-LPB 5-String Bass Guitar, Light Blue Finish Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've been without a 5 string ever since my Stingray was stolen a couple of years ago. It's obviously not on the same level as a Stingray, but the Curbow is a solid, warm sounding bass. The sustain is great and plays really well. It was in bad need of a set up when I received it (large neck adjustment,...

Dean V Dave Mustaine Guitar, Bolt-on Metallic Silver Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The pick-ups are very nice and deliver a lot of chunk (far from sounding muddy). The two volume knobs have allowed me to achive sounds I could never get with my single vol knob guitars. The Grover tuners are the best I've ever owned. The fret board is beautifully polished, easy to navigate, and very...

Fishman Rare Earth Blend Pickup Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I waited with baited breath for this to arrive based on Fishmans description. I thought well, this will be great to be able to adjust the mic portion of the pick-up. Silly me!!! The flexible shaft of the mic just LIMPLY sags and will not stay where you position it. You would think Fishman (making such...

Takamine G340SC Solid Top Cutaway Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I recently purchased this guitar because of some good reviews that I had read, and also for its appearance. After receiving this guitar...I am happier with my purchase than I thought I would be. I have owned a Washburn D10S and a Takamine GS330S and neither look, sound, or play as well as this one. I...

Epiphone Casino Archtop Electric Guitar, Cherry Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought my Epiphone Casino about five years ago. I was orignally attracted to the cosmetics, and it was a cheaper, thinner, hollowbody. THere's a surprising range of tone you can get out of those two P-90s. The feel was great too. Had a real low action. Honestly, I never had a problem with the guitar,...

Epiphone B.B.King Lucille Archtop Electric Guitar, Ebony Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am not a professional musician....just a hobby blues player always on a quest for sound. I came across this guitar by coincidence. I was aware that they have a Gibson version of Lucille, but I saw that Epiphone has a version of it also. The price difference is dramatical, play both models side by side...
