Dean EVO Guitar, NOIR Review

Dean EVO Guitar, NOIR
Average Reviews:

Mine came broken. There was a ground fault, resulting in loud buzzing noise. I returned it and ordered another, and that one had a broken selector switch. I don't know if it's Dean, Amazon or UPS, but I wouldn't get one of these here.

ESP LTD F50 Electric Guitar (Black) Review

ESP LTD F50 Electric Guitar (Black)
Average Reviews:

Now, I wouldn't exactly say that the F-50 plays itself, but it's about the closest to it that I've ever seen.
From the very thin, fast neck to the solid tuners, to the 24 extra jumbo frets to the great sounding humbuckers... I can't think of a single thing that I dislike about this beasty. The short fret spacing makes notes and chords easier to reach, especially if you don't have freakishly long fingers.
It even looks terrific (especially if you're into metal). The goth-ish body styling probably wouldn't work for you if you're looking to play country, but if you're a rocker... this guitar's shape sets it apart from the million other strats around, and in black, it looks exceptionally evil.

The ESP LTD F50 Electric Guitar features a radical design at a price that no one else can touch. ESP loaded the F50 with hot LH-100 humbuckers for a powerful sound, and provided a 24-fret neck with extra jumbo frets that make it easy to play. The string-thru-body design adds even more tone and sustain. Other features include a maple neck, Tune-o-matic bridge and black hardware. AmericanMusical.com is an authorized dealer of ESP products.

Behringer Vintager Electric Guitar Package
You can usually find this product cheaper than the listed [...] price if you look around online. That being said, this kit is great for the price. Sure the guitar isn't the greatest, but the amp alone usually retails for nearly the price you can find this whole kit online. I already owned a guitar and just wanted a real tube amp, so I bought this package since I was essentially getting the guitar and accessories as a freebie. If you go into it with that thinking, you'll be very happy with your purchase. I wouldn't recommend the guitar as a primary instrument, however, unless you are just starting out on guitar. It's a fine beginner type guitar.

Average Reviews:

The Vintage Series has sold well because of the uniformity of quality that has marked this series. The OM 28V has soft and beautiful tone and sustain. Balance between bass and treble is amazing and the vesatility shows in blues as well as the volume needed for bluegrass. This guitar does it all. The aging toner darkens with the impact of UV from light and goes vintage within a few years.

Art & Lutherie Ami Nylon String Cedar Guitar Review

Art and Lutherie Ami Nylon String Cedar Guitar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
To the eye: It's a great looking guitar for sure, with REAL rosette inlays on a gorgeous cedar top. It would look great hung up on a wall, or sitting in a corner - good since you will not want to put it away, ever.
To the ear: Intonation is dead on, and the tone on this is absolutely even up and down the entire fretboard, with excellent clarity and separation of the individual notes. The parlor size doesn't provide much bass, but it's not tinny at all, and it is much louder than you'd expect. It is not a baby or travel guitar sound, but definitely a real parlor sound with good projection and that tight clarity you would expect.
To the hands: the modern neck has a sort of hybrid feel - with the seeming acres of classical fretboard, but a thinner depth than most old classicals (it has an adjustable truss rod). I generally play steel strings (30 years), but I just can't put this little nylon beauty down (the somewhat thinner neck might be part of it), and it's increased my playing by hours and hours a week. It's a great player for just... playing. In a word: Comfortable.
To the wallet: Handmade in Canada by the same people who make the Seagulls I believe. At $300, I think it's just a ridiculous deal, and a value that can't help but appreciate over time. Buy it, play it for 10 years, sell it for a profit.
To the Devil's Advocate: It does have gold/pearloid tuners. I hate gold hardware and I hate pearloid, so they'll be leaving us soon.... YMMV

Never judge a book by its cover! The Art & Lutherie Ami is modeled after the dimensions of a parlor guitar of the early 1900's. Small in stature but surprisingly large where it counts most... Tone and projection. The Ami's tone is clear and pronounced, making it a great guitar for acoustic blues, slide, folk, fingerstyle or just to simply bring a different tonal color to your next musical project. While being extremely comfortable to play and very easy to carry around because of its compact size, the Ami's amazing tone makes this guitar extremely hard to put down!

Luna Henna Paisley Series TLE Electric Guitar - White Review

Luna Henna Paisley Series TLE Electric Guitar - White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This guitar in white comes with a rosewood slab unlike the picture depictin a maple fretboar. The black one comes with the maple board. The guitar came in a standar guitar box in a box setup. It was fairly loose in shipping and the volume control was a little bit jammed to the pick gaurd, but I was able to pull it straight.
The guitar is a beut with the white matchin headstock and the cedar wood pickguard.
Setup on this guitar was great out of the box but with a little neck and bridge tweek it ended up being a top notch playing instrument. The pickups are as good as any I have played with the tele configuration. The fret job is perfect and the rosewood fretboard is clean and slick. It is a fast neck and captures the tele vibe .

Dean Performer Mini Jumbo Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Classic Black Review

Dean Performer Mini Jumbo Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Classic Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was looking for a good guitar in this price range and had narrowed it down between the Ibanez AEL10EBK and the Dean Performer E Acoustic Electric Guitar. They seemed pretty equivalent from their description. Originally I had decided on the Ibanez because it had an established name (I never heard of Dean) and the pickup it used was an established brand ( a Fishman Sonicore). By contrast the Dean had it's own pickup which I knew nothing about. I was about to buy the Ibanez but I wanted to hear it first. I went to a local music store and took it down to try out. To my surprise it sounded very shallow, wooden, and muddy. There was very little resonance to the instrument. It sounded almost like a solid body guitar. When you strum all the strings at the same time it sounds muddled. I plugged in the Ibanez and found it sounded the same way. It was muddled. You didn't hear the individual strings. Just an overall "blahhh". As it happens, another music store down the street had the Dean Performer E so just for kicks I went there to try it out. I was shocked by how beautiful it sounded for such an inexpensive guitar. The instrument resonated. You could hear each string brightly and clearly. When plugged into an amp the sound was bright, and full. I also found that the Dean had an "on-board" tuner with a graphic LED output that allowed you to tune the guitar instantly. This tuner is actually one of the best I have ever used. It tells you exactly when the string is in tune. It doesn't bounce around all over the place like other tuners I've used. I found from this experience that "name" isn't everything. Sometimes products from an established and well known company can under-perform newcommers. In this case that is exactly what I found. Needless to say I bought the Dean and have been very happy with it since.

Before this, I had never received any defective items from Amazon. I ordered this one and I was really excited to get it but, the Push/Pull Coil Tap was broken so I requested for a replacement. The replacement arrived in 4 days. The replacement guitar's neck was bent more than usual. They had set the bridge too high so that the strings do not touch the frets. Overall I found it difficult to play with high strings. Although Omen 7 Extreme is a great sounding guitar, I a not happy with my replacement.

I was looking for a bluegrass type drednaught that would cut through in a jam situation. I bough this for the solid spruce top an rosewood sides and back (laminated but thats fine with me). When I recieved it the action was way to high and the intonation was bad. If I rated it then it would have been a 3 but after I took the bone saddle off and filed it down and reshaped it a little the action and intonation were great, 5 minute fix! I have owned thousand dollar guitars and played a lot more ( taylors, martins, guild ect,) and this guitar is alive with sound, nice and punchy with good bass and great highs, just what I wanted and better than I expected for the price. the pickgaurd sucks but I took mine off and it looks good that way. If I start to scratch it Ill throw a cheap one on it.

Blueridge BR-140 Historic Dreadnaught Guitar Review

Blueridge BR-140 Historic Dreadnaught Guitar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This guitar is easy to play and has a quiet fullness that's really nice when you don't want the guitar to step on the vocals. The price is coming down to more like where it belongs. The tuning keys are definitely a step above the ordinary - smooth and solid. One negative which maybe they've fixed (mine's five years old): It came with one undersized wooden shoulder-strap button, like a large string button, that fell out when the glue dried, and the hole is too large to replace it with a regular metal button. I keep meaning to re-glue the wooden button but just keep pushing it back in. What draws me most to this guitar is its soft, balanced sound.
