Takamine G Series EG440SC NEX Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Gloss Natural Buy Now

noreply@blogger.com (Tina Turner) — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 05:15:00 +0000

I teach guitar and ordered one of these for one of my students. I had a hard time parting with it. Great size, nice cutaway, good electronics, and a tuner. What more can you ask for except it's made by Takamine with it's exceptional quality and sound. It's difficult to find these because they sell out too quickly and the price has been going up. I just can't find the deal I first got for $379 with hard shell case and free ship. My student just loves this guitar and won't part with it. You can't usually go wrong with a Takamine.Get more detail about Takamine G Series EG440SC NEX Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Gloss Natural.

Daisy Rock Debutante Butterfly Short Scale Fantasy Electric Guitar Pack Order Now

noreply@blogger.com (Tina Turner) — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 17:15:00 +0000

This guitar is a decent starter guitar for a girl who wants a guitar that looks pretty and plays suffiently well. The body shape is a little awkward playing around. There are no cut outs around the upper part of the neck so that makes playing the higher frets challenging. Otherwise the neck is fairly player friendly. The starter package deal was worth it for the gig bag and other accessories, the amp is pretty weak sounding but will do for now.Get more detail about Daisy Rock Debutante Butterfly Short Scale Fantasy Electric Guitar Pack.

Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-II Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Midnight Ebony Decide Now

noreply@blogger.com (Tina Turner) — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 05:14:00 +0000

I love the sound of a Les Paul, but I refused to buy one because having been a Strat player for years, I just felt that LP's were uncomfortable to play. This Les Paul addresses the two major factors in why a traditional LP is uncomfortable:

#1, Weight. Ever pick up a real LP? They weight a ton and by the end of a show, your shoulder and lower back are killing you. This thing is super light! The acoustic chambers make it essentially a hollow-body. I'm not sure what the actual weight is, but it's significantly lighter than a solid body LP, but sounds the same (actually better with the piezo).

#2, Body Contours. I don't have a huge belly, but the sharp corners on regular LP's cut into my gut and just aren't comfortable. This guy has a nice body contour in it, so it's really quite comfortable.

The neck has some kind of radical "satin" finish on it that is LIGHTNING fast to play on. It's almost like a rough finish, but it's great because your hand doesn't stick to it like it would to a traditional painted finish. You just have to try it.

This thing has that LP growl that all guitar players associate with a LP. The humbuckers are phenomenal!! In my band, we play classic rock covers with a few heavier tunes thrown in. I figured this guitar would fit right in with some of the more "mild" songs, and songs that were recorded on a LP. "Hold On Loosely", "Deuce", "Life In The Fast Lane", and a couple of Journey tunes... stuff like that. This guitar certainly covers those styles perfectly. But wait... The first time I took this to practice, we started playing "Man In The Box" with a heavy overdrive, and when I hit an artificial harmonic in "G" on the low "E" string... O-M-G!!! The rest of the band members jaws all dropped and they commented that this guitar screamed like a Zakk Wylde. It's VERY responsive!! Then I dialed it back, and tried out the piezo acoustic pickup for our rendition of "Comfortably Numb". I know, shudder at the thought of playing a LP for a Pink Floyd song... The piezo acoustic sound was absolutely incredible, but then when I turned the piezo down and the humbuckers back on for the solo's, it filled the bill again!
This guitar will get you pretty much ANY tone you want (except for the buzz of a single coil). All I can say is, try it!!

There are only 2 things I don't like about this guitar, hence the 4-stars. While the body is light, the headstock isn't, and it tends to pull on the shoulder. It's just not very well balanced, so it takes some getting used to. Also, it's still tough to get to the higher frets just like any LP.

Otherwise, you get the killer LP sound with the added bonus of an acoustic, and the unexpected bonus of COMFORT! This guitar is well worth the price and I'd say it's essential to any collection. You can cover so much ground with it!

Schecter Synyster Gates Custom Electric Guitar (Black Gloss, Pimp Stripe) Right now

noreply@blogger.com (Tina Turner) — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 17:13:00 +0000

This guitar is absolutely amazing. It looks great, the silver stripes are just awesome. The floyd rose tremolo works very well, along with the locking nuts, which cause the guitar to never go out of tune. It has a great metal sound, you can have the amp on clean and still hear a little bit of distortion from the seymour duncan's, which can be split to achieve a nicer clean. Overall great guitar, i would recommend it, the only thing i don't like is that the floyd rose makes it hard to change the tuning.Get more detail about Schecter Synyster Gates Custom Electric Guitar (Black Gloss, Pimp Stripe).

Lowest Price Epiphone Tony Iommi G-400 SG Collection Electric Guitar, Ebony

noreply@blogger.com (Tina Turner) — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 05:15:00 +0000

For Years I have played Sabbath covers with my metal band. For a time I even played with a Gibson SG 1961 reissue. But it was too far from the ones Iommi uses, which are extensively customized. So I went back to more "metal" guitars, like my Ibanez RG Prestige. I was obviously very interested when Guibson decided to make Tony Iommi signature models.
But I was also desappointed, because one main thing was missing : Tony Iommi, almost from the start of Black Sabbath, removed the original bridge to put a Badass-style one. Iommi always play with this kind of bridges, and I'm sure it is part of the metal that you get from these guitars. This is one of the main modification that a Tony Iommi SG (Gibson or Epiphone) should have, but you won't find it on these signature models. Nevertheless it seems to be a very good guitar.Get more detail about Epiphone Tony Iommi G-400 SG Collection Electric Guitar, Ebony.

Low Price Dean Classical Solid-Top Acoustic-Electric Cutaway Left Handed Guitar

noreply@blogger.com (Tina Turner) — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 17:15:00 +0000

I really liked this instruemnt. The woodwork and binding is equal in quality to units that cost much more. The only adjustment I had to make was the bridge to lower the action a little. The sound quality is very good and the built in tuner is great as well. Great value and the fact that it is left handed makes it worth more to me.Get more detail about Dean Classical Solid-Top Acoustic-Electric Cutaway Left Handed Guitar.

Save Yamaha F-310 Steel String Acoustic Folk Guitar, Semi Jumbo

noreply@blogger.com (Tina Turner) — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 05:14:00 +0000

The Yamaha F-310 Acoustic Guitar was my very first guitar, and I grew to love it. I played it for 6 years, and it never failed. Since then I have upgraded to a Gibson Songwriter Cutaway (which plays like a dream), and I gave away my trustworthy Yamaha to a lucky person. I sometimes wish I still had my old F-310. I beat it up pretty bad, but the tone and playability never diminished. Don't let the price fool you...this yamaha is everything you could want in a beginner/intermediate guitar. With the right set of fresh strings, this guitar sounds comparable to higher-end guitars in the upper hundreds. Buy this Yamaha, and it'll be one purchase you don't regret.Get more detail about Yamaha F-310 Steel String Acoustic Folk Guitar, Semi Jumbo.

Buying Luna Oracle Eclipse Acoustic/Electric Guitar

noreply@blogger.com (Tina Turner) — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 05:14:00 +0000

Luna Oracle Eclipse Acoustic/Electric Guitar is an awesome guitar for the money spent.
I have had many guitars in my lifetime and this one ranks right up their with some of the best.
The set up and action is excellent, Just a little weak on the bottom end, Fit and finish is excellent.
Fishman Pre-amp is Just OK, med level but works fine.
But if you want a great playing guitar that you don't have to baby around a large Jam Session.
It's Great, and it will keep up with most med level Taylors or Martins in a group setting.
Because this is an all solid wood instrument it can only get better with age.

Buy SX Callisto CS Electric Guitar

noreply@blogger.com (Tina Turner) — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 17:15:00 +0000

I was very surprised with not only the quality of this guitar but it sounds great, too. Initially, I just wanted to find a "practice" guitar to go along with my collection, so I chose this. It has a great Les Paul Gibson look, but don't be fooled by the price. It sounds easily as good as some of the $300 guitars I've played and bought. I would reccomend this guitar for beginners or experienced players. It comes in two different colors, and I chose the lighter color. Definitely worth playing, and it was shipped directly from the SX factory and came in very safe packacking. I've heard horror stories of people ordering cheaper guitars coming broken, etc. This was definitely not even close to that. I did not even need to make any adjustments to the neck. I've was very surprised with this guitar.Get more detail about SX Callisto CS Electric Guitar.

Purchase Godin Exit 22 Solid Body Electric Guitar (Natural Mahogany RN)

noreply@blogger.com (Tina Turner) — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 05:15:00 +0000

I bought my Godin Exit 22 as my "return" instrument after taking up guitar again after a twenty-something year break. Here's what I can tell you: This is a great guitar, made even better by a very reasonable price. As it came off the rack, action was set a bit high and intonation was a little off, but after having it set up by my local tech, all is well. Been playing it for hours every day for almost two years now - mostly blues and rock & roll - and feel like I am finally growing into it. 24 3/4 scale makes for easy, slinky bends - so more of a Gibson touch to this guitar.

Sound is wonderful through my Roland modeling amp, with solid, clear, clean tones from the single coil bridge and middle pups and as much nasty growl as one wants through the bridge humbucker. (I tend to play with the bass on the low end, but there is plenty of bottom-end available if that lights you up.)

Easy and comfortable reach of the upper frets is enhanced by some thoughtful sculpting around the neck pocket. You run into some smooth curves rather than a vertical wall a la Fender.

I could go on and on. Most important is that this is a solid guitar at a very, very reasonable price with plenty of room to grow. Oh, and the satin maple neck has gotten faster, while the mahogany body has gotten prettier with age and playing, so an added plus...Get more detail about Godin Exit 22 Solid Body Electric Guitar (Natural Mahogany RN).

Order Daisy Rock Debutante Heartbreaker Short Scale Princess Purple Electric Guitar

noreply@blogger.com (Tina Turner) — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 17:15:00 +0000

I bought this for my 4.5 year old daughter and she absolutely loves it. It's 1/2 size scale is just perfect for her. It's a real electric guitar with a single humbucker and volume knob. Comes D'Addario installed strings and just needed to be tuned upon arrival. It also comes with a very cute custom Daisy Rock light purple/lavender guitar gig bag with a front zipper pocket for accessories. The only thing it didn't come with was a cable, so be prepared to order one. The color is gorgeous (shimmery purple) and the quality is outstanding for the price. I can't believe Amazon is able to sell it so cheaply, and seriously people, if you're considering buying one, you should get it while the price is low. I couldn't find one for under $120 anywhere else. It's not a $249 dollar guitar by any means and if I had paid the retail price for it, I would've been irritated, however, for this price, it's well worth the money. And it's a Daisy Rock, so you really can't go wrong.Get more detail about Daisy Rock Debutante Heartbreaker Short Scale Princess Purple Electric Guitar.

Godin 5th Avenue Archtop Jazz-Style Acoustic Guitar (Natural) This instant

noreply@blogger.com (Tina Turner) — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 17:15:00 +0000

While I was at my local music store looking for a new accoustic guitar, I was introduced to this amazing guitar. This was the first time that I had ever played an arch top and I fell in love, and what amazed me is it plays and feals better than an expensive accoustic. The old arch tops were big and bulky, very expensive
and had very little low to mid range sound that accoustic players have come to love.
While researching this guitar I found that this very guitar was a labor of love for Mr.Godin. He wanted to re-invent the arch top and did he ever!
This guitar has a big accoustic guitar sound. Has an incredible low,mid and high tones, it is thinner than most arch tops and has a great price. This has the true vintage spirit but with all of the modern tone and playability that a guitar player loves.
This baby comes with a single coil P-90 pick up,
Canadian wild cherry back and sides,
silver leaf maple neck,
adjustable floating bridge,
custom french "style" polish on the body,
1+ tone-1+ volume finished of by those classic top hat knobs,
16"FINGER BOARD RADIUS
24.84" scale
1.72" nut width
and an awsome, feather light molded guitar case.
If you love accoustic guitars you should take a trip to you're local music store and take this beauty for a test ride I promise you wont be let down. And if you love to play a traditional arch top I think you will be very suprised at what The Godin guitar co. has accomplished.

Taylor Guitars 614ce Grand Auditorium Acoustic Electric Guitar Immediately

noreply@blogger.com (Tina Turner) — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 05:36:00 +0000

What can you say about a guitar that's so flawless, it begs to be taken out of the case and played every time you walk past it? Maybe this: thanks to the mind-blowingly gorgeous big-leaf maple back and sides, plus the sitka spruce top, the tones it produces will send shivers down your spine. Or this: Taylor's legendary NT neck is the easiest playing neck you'll find on a guitar. It's also the most maintenance-free. Or this: the Expressions System electronics are the simplest to use and most faithfully accurate you'll find on a guitar these days. Or this: the incredible abalone fretboard inlays and rosette around the soundhole will likely have you thinking you bought a much more expensive guitar.

I stopped playing the guitar for 35 years. When I wanted to get back into it, I went on [...] and spent some time in their forum reading posts from owners of various guitar brands. Sure, there were plenty of Gibson and Martin fans. But their numbers were dwarfed by zealots of a brand I'd never heard of: Taylor. And these people were absolutely rhapsodic about the virtues of their guitars. So I went to my local guitar emporium and tested out a number of Taylors. First, I had to decide which size guitar I wanted, since sizes and shapes had changed in the 35 years since I stopped playing. I tested the Grand Concert size (too small) and the Drednaught size (too big), and decided the Grand Auditorium size was perfect for me. Next, I went looking for a specific sound, and the Taylor 614ce, with it's shimmering highs and bell-like lows felt perfect. Finally, the aesthetics: for what I paid, the 614 was simply the most beautiful guitar in my price range. And it came with a case that appears to have been built to withstand a rocket-propelled grenade.

I love this guitar, and as much as I've tried in this review, I can't do it justice. Play one for yourself. You'll see what I mean.Get more detail about Taylor Guitars 614ce Grand Auditorium Acoustic Electric Guitar.

Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar, Ebony Buy Now

Man, I can't believe there were no prior reviews. What can one say about this guitar, other than perfection? Mine was $899.00 new back in 1979. Strats are fabulous guitars as well, but there's something about the heft and solidity of a Les Paul. A thing of beauty and a real investment. I really like the thin neck profile on the Customs, compared to the Standards, and like the sounds that are possible with the ebony fretboard. Sustain for days...

Daisy Rock Debutante Rock Candy Petite Short Scale Atomic Pink Electric Guitar Order Now

noreply@blogger.com (Tina Turner) — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 10:35:00 +0000

I received this guitar in the mail for my daughter. Liked the color and the design. The body, neck, and tuner/head seem to be well constructed. The guitar as delivered was not playable. That is, it could not be tuned. I had to take it to the repair shop and have an additional $50 setup and new strings ($12). They had to adjust the neck, tighten the tuners, clean up the frets and reset the intonation (sp?). The intonation was the main reason the guitar could not be tuned. The strings need to be adjusted properly. They also had to work on the nut at the end of the guitar to get the action better. The action as delivered was pretty good, but after tweaking all the other features I am assuming the nut had to be adjusted. The guitar plays better, but still needs some adjustment but that will be taken care of I assume for free if I take it back to the shop. One of the strings kinda rattles a little probably due to the action being set too low, to allow for easier beginner playing. Also the electrical pickup was adjusted too high for my amp so we have to turn everything way down so it wont play too loudly.Get more detail about Daisy Rock Debutante Rock Candy Petite Short Scale Atomic Pink Electric Guitar.

Luna Fauna Acoustic Guitar, Dragonfly Decide Now

noreply@blogger.com (Tina Turner) — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 05:36:00 +0000

This guitar is not only gorgeous to look at, it also plays and sounds as good as it looks. I have had many compliments on both the looks and the sound.It is also very light in weight, so easy on the shoulders and back. After playing for 30-plus years, the weight of my guitar was taking its toll. I read about this brand, designed by a woman-for women-and that is why I decided to try a Luna. The built-in tuner is amazing and easy to use. There is even an automatic bypass on it for tuning during live performances.The EQ/preamp are equally good. Upon arrival, the action seemed a bit high, so I brought it to my local music store to have it adjusted. Apparently, the manufacturer realizes that every player is different and leaves that part up to the buyer.Have it done by a professional-it only takes a few minutes and shouldn't cost very much. All in all, this is a GREAT guitar for short money. I highly recommend it for any player!!Get more detail about Luna Fauna Acoustic Guitar, Dragonfly.
