Just Go And Feel It

Advantages: Light, tough, great balance
Disadvantages: Expensive

Owning Gibson is an honour and if it is Gibson J-45 rosewood acoustic it is both honour and delight. It is very is to be biased for the Taylors, Honners, Martins but with this one it is total passionate bias. Just strum it and immediately feel its out-of-the-world balance- bass, midrange, treble-as if electronically equalized. In fact the touch is great. Smooth neck, comfortablely angled. Frankly speaking it has got a tone of its own, just something ...
...doubt its toughness, go live, keep strumming J-45 takes it all with mute stoicism. As all Gibsons, J-45 do not generally have pickups. Mahogony neck, fairly midium sized, beautifully sloped shoulder body, whitebound fingerboard and headstock and ofcourse Gibson special ebony. Tell me why shouldn't Bob Dylan love it?? ...

Review of Ibanez TCM50

Brilliant guitar, ultra fast and comfortable.

Advantages: Well made, plays great, smooth quick neck, comfortable guitar and low B
Disadvantages: Bad stock pickups, thin finish chips easily.

...in comparison. It's an Ibanez Prestige guitar so it’s top of the range, flawless construction, very comfortable and very easy to play with a thin smooth neck. It features the Edge Pro 7 which is Ibanez's own tremolo design and its fantastic, easy to palm mute on, easy to change strings, and keeps the tuning very stable. Now on to the bad, Ibanez has (presumably for cost) taken steps to make their finishes as thin as possible and that results ...
...you have to be very careful with it to keep it in good condition (something which I don’t mind, I babied it to near mint condition as with my other guitars). The pickups are awful, very muddy which means that you lose definition of notes, they blur in to each other under distortion when playing the low B, fortunately there is a wealth of decent 7 string pickups out there to remedy this problem. Also upping the gauge of the low B can help with muddyness, ...

Review of Ibanez RG1527 7-String Electric Guitar

Gibson SG standard...

Advantages: Stunning looks. Amazing sound (Clean + Distorted). Amazingly Light.
Disadvantages: Newer Models can be weak at the neck.

...guitar was in its official gibson hard-case and I was holding it upright with the bottom of the case of the floor and I had my hands on the top of the case. Now... Im not quite sure who these people were but they must have been about 16 years old there or there about, but they were running up and down this corridor like lunatics, anyway so they had all this space to be running around, and one of them decides to to try and run in the small gap between ...
...a couple of years before, Gibson went through money troubles and stopped making the SG and Les Paul Standards with the 3pc necks, which if that is true, is completely ridiculous as they made the weakest part of the guitar weaker. But other than that one problem this guitar is the best investment I have made, even after the major breakage the guitar stays in tune perfectly and there are no problems with the intonation. The guitar in my opinion is ...

Review of Gibson SG Standard Electric Guitar

An amazing guitar

Advantages: Pickups, Appearance, Playability
Disadvantages: Weight

...is just so reliable and easy to play. I feel that this guitar would be ideal for any guitarist. The hardware is epiphone standard which is always good. Appearance wise i really love it, it has contrast between the main colour and binding colour which i think is really nice. ...
