Fernandes Nomad Standard Electric Guitar - Hot Rod Flames Review

Fernandes Nomad Standard Electric Guitar - Hot Rod Flames
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 for such a small guitar! And the rock-n-roll feedback has that Hendryx love to it. (Not that I could ever play like that - ever...)
It's my favorite guitar!
Right now it's being used in a faux documentary of a band trying to make it big in Japan - as the band walks down the streets playing it, and the bass version of it.
I just hope that the cops don't take it away as they walk down the street - it can crank up that much sound!
It's well worth the money!

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

Cort Curbow 5-LPB 5-String Bass Guitar, Light Blue Finish
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, the intonation was out, the action was insanely high and the tuning knobs were all loose), but once it was set up right I didn't want to mess with any of my other basses. I've been playing for roughly 15 years, though these days it's more of a hobby, mostly metal and it works great. My only lasting issue is some electronic buzz, but that is because the active pickups are so strong. For $350, tax included, you really can't go wrong....

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

Dean V Dave Mustaine Guitar, Bolt-on Metallic Silver
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 fast. The string-through body realy does increase sustain, and it's very easy to re-string. The paint is also very nice, and easy to keep clean. It's a rather large guitar, it took over an hour at Guitar Center to find a case to accomidate both its length & width. But I would'nt let the size turn u off, it has great balance and it's comfortable to play even while sitting (it's an absolute blast to play). Finally, I had to drill another hole in my guitar-stand a few inches higher to raise the base-cradle because the points on the "V" were so long they would hit the ground (it was easy). Now, I did write another review here at amazon on this same guitar (black model) before I saw this listing - which is the color I have. Anyway I truely hope this reiew is helpfull.

The Dean Dave Mustaine VMNTX is an affordable Mustaine signature model, perfect for beginners who want an axe that'll last. It features a pair of blazing Dean humbuckers, Grover Mini tuners, an Ebony fingerboard, and a Tone pros bridge.



Dean and Dave MustaineDean Guitars is proud to intruduce the Dave Mustaine Signature VMNT series. Well-known in the metal world, Mustaine has been the driving force behind Megadeth for 25 years. The VMNT series offers Dave's special D shaped neck profile with a full two-octave, 24-fret neck, set up at the factory for fast, low action and easy access to upper frets. The guitars feature string-through-body design for serious sustain and playability, along with a variety of solid hardware appointments.

Mahogany BodyDean uses a mahogany body for this instrument.Mahogany is a common choice for electrics, dependably delivering a warm, full tone with plenty of punch and sustain.

Bolt-On ConstructionBolt-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 VMNTX's maple neck features an ultra-playable 24-fret ebony fingerboard, with classic dot inlays.

Dean Humbucker PickupsTo capture the biting tones of vintage Deans, the company includes two of its standard humbuckers, which 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 TunersIf you play guitar then you know what this means--solid, dependable tuning from the industry standard.

Small and lightweight, the Mini Grover tuners fit guitar headstocks that won't take full-size machines. The mini buttons provide more space for players' fingers (even larger fingers) to tune strings. Gear ratio is 14:1. Sealed-in lubrication keeps Mini-Rotomatics perfect for a lifetime!

Tone Pros BridgeThe Tone Pros bridge with string-thru-body design uses high-quality components to deliver serious sustain and intonation, for great sound and extremely reliable tuning.

Fishman Rare Earth Blend Pickup Review

Fishman Rare Earth Blend Pickup
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 good pick-ups) would have made a more sturdy flexible shaft.
Got it today----going back today.

Epiphone Casino Archtop Electric Guitar, Cherry Review

Epiphone Casino Archtop Electric Guitar, Cherry
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, though if the inpur jack were to fall in the body... or a pot... well, you can imagine the nightmare that would be. Never happened in the five years I owned my Casino.
The only downside to this guitar is that the combination of P-90s and hollowbody doesn't stand up too well to high-gain music. If that's your style, beware; this guitar will feedback.

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

Epiphone B.B.King Lucille Archtop Electric Guitar, Ebony
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 and you will be blown away with the Epiphone version. The feel of the guitar is awesome. The pickups are great. The thing that blew me away is the vari-tone switch. I played this guitar clean and distorted and played around with the vari-tone switch and loved the sounds that i was hearing. You can get a really nice fat sound or a near screech sound out of Lucille. If you are into the classic rock blues type of sound or the B.B. King sound this is the guitar for you. Trust me you have to try this guitar out. I have played Les Pauls and Flying V's, but this version just blows those out of the water. I never really thought of ever buying a Gibson/Epiphone product, but I did and I do not regret it at all, this coming from a die hard Stratocaster and Telecaster owner/player

Designed by the Legendary King of the Blues himself, B.B. King, the Lucille is similar to the 335 semi-hollowbody,but without "F" holes. The result is a guitar with a very unique voice that's far less prone to feedback at high volume levels. It features all-Maple construction, a TP-6 fine-tuning tailpiece with a Tune-o-matic bridge for ultimate precise intonation, is voiced by two Alnico Classic Humbuckers and a six-posistion Vari-tone switch and stereo outputs. Cosmetics include Gold hardware, block fretboard inlay and her name inlaid in mother-of-pearl on the headstock.
