Great mic, and great buyer experience! It was shipped almost instantly and I could track it all the way long to the delivery place. Also was cool to check the updated status of the item during the travel.
The mic is in perfect conditions in my hands.
Has a clear sound and it works great both mics, the pickup has a strong signal and the acustic mic is also great becouse it gives a brighter sound, but have to be careful not to set the volume high to avoid couplings!.

Yamaha FG700S Folk Acoustic Guitar, Sandburst Review

Yamaha FG700S Folk Acoustic Guitar, Sandburst
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My personal qualifications for writing this review are "none". I'm a total and complete beginner. However, I know what I like to hear, and that's what counts for me. I tried several guitars before making my selection and this one had the cleanest and longest sustaining notes of any of them.
Also, several people at work play and I respect their opinions. They "tried it out" when I brought it back into the office after a lunch time purchase instead of leaving it in the car and all were very enthusiastic. One said it sounded better than any of his guitars that cost at least 2-3 times as much. Another compared it favorably with his $700 Taylor. The third, a professional bass player, whipped a pick out of his wallet, sat on the floor cross-legged, and proceeded to go crazy.

Recording King Classic Series OOO-Style Acoustic Guitar with Herringbone (Mahogany) Review

Recording King Classic Series OOO-Style Acoustic Guitar with Herringbone (Mahogany)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a 000 "Martin style," solid wood acoustic guitar. The 000 body here looks like an OM - a feature of early guitars in this style was a longer scale (and was called an OM) - 25 inches plus, the short scale came later (24.9 and less) and was done with the intention of making the guitar easier to play due to the lack of choice when it came to string gauges (heavy or medium or nothing). This guitar is well constructed: hand carved neck, with an 1 3/4 inch nut width, bone nut and saddle, ebony fretboard and bridge, a real rosewood veneer over the peghead, and matched mahogany back and sides and a matched sitka spruce top...all very clean, it appears to be AA in wood grade and finished in an aged light gloss finish. The neck feels more like a modified V than a "C" profile. Body and neck joint feature grained ivoroid binding and a peek inside reveals scalloped bracing. The top presents with herringbone and a well done torch inlay on the peghead. This is a well designed, and well made guitar. The tone is very traditional - you get the presence and warm mid range of mahogany. This particular guitar has a bit more bass than I was expecting, but I find that to be a bonus. Otherwise, it is very balanced. To other consumers, I find this guitar to be a significant value...the quality of wood, inlays and workmanship come together to make a great guitar - perfect for fingerstyle blues, traditional country and ragtime. I doubt that this level of quality will be this affordable for much longer. If you cannot afford a Martin in this style, you will not be underserved by this guitar. It is highly recommended.

Recording King Century Studio Series 12th Fret OOO-Style Acoustic Guitar (Mahogany) Review

Recording King Century Studio Series 12th Fret OOO-Style Acoustic Guitar (Mahogany)

I have wanted a slot head 12 fret for a long time, but every time I buy an older one I end up sinking a lot of money into the luthier to bring it up to speed and newer ones like those available from Larrivee and Taylor were way out of my price range. I bought one of these a month ago and have been very pleasantly surprised by the tone and looks and playability of the guitar. So much so that I posted a few youtube videos of a buddy playing my ROS 16 just so other people could get an idea of what a great guitar this is. Check them out.

The ROS-16 is a 12th fret OOO-style guitar crafted from a vintage 1902 design.With a solid AA-grade Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, this guitar has the warm intimate sound you would expect from a classic 12th fret.The 1-13/16" nut with is a fingerpicker's dream, and professional appointments like the rosewood fretboard, ebony pyramid bridge, bone nut and saddle insure the guitar sounds as great as it looks.Herringbone purfling and grained ivoroid binding give a nod to this guitar's historic heritage.
