Advantages: Endorsed by Fender, very well made.
Disadvantages: Little choice of colour and hard to get left-handed.

...same factories as the "normal" Fender guitars and is of almost the same quality; just a reduced price tag. There are 2 types of Squier, and the Standard is the better of the 2. This guitar has everything the more expensive models have, and I have even seen some people performing on stage with these types rather than the full-price Strats. It is of a medium weight, and generally speaking, you will need to factor in the cost of a gig bag to carry ...
...even then it's still great value as a starter guitar. The colours and designs are more limited than its more pricey brothers and sisters but having said that, because it's cheap, you could always have fun customising its look for yourself. They are also pretty robust and are easy to clean. I did find it hard to get myself my left handed model though, so you may need to order it in specially if you need it. ... Read review

Advantages: warm sound, For a range of styles, time proven dreadnaught design.
Disadvantages: Laminated back and sides

...and blues fingerstyle and the Martin suits my style of playing. The guitar has a solid spruce top and laminated mahogany back and sides giving it a very warm sound that has improved after playing. My first impressions of the guitar was how well it was built. It had no rough edges and no other noticable imperfections. When buying the guitar i was considering a Taylor 214 and a Yamaha LL. I recomend buying the Taylor equivelent if a brighter sound ...
...that Bert Jansch gets out of his, and at this price you are paying a bit more money for the Martin heritage. After a year of owning it i have found that the top of the guitar marks easily and the body has become shiny where my arm has rested. ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, Good Quality
Disadvantages: Bad Stock Strings

I have owned this product for half a year now and am very impressed with the quality of the product, considering how cheap it is available. It is very versatile, and is capable of playing a variety of genres, but in general mostly Rock, a la ACDC/Bon Jovi, and Blues Rock. It has fantastic action and set up, and the Pickups sound great, although i would reccomend changing the strings as soon as you get it , as the stock ones arent very good and don't ... Read review

Advantages: Good low action, beautiful to look at, versatile tone.
Disadvantages: Can fall out of tune a little too easily

Yamaha SA2200 I have owned one of these guitars now for three months and have not grown tired of playing it one bit. As it is semi acoustic it still plays loud enough unplugged for practising at home, but to really enjoy this guitar, plug it in you must! The coil tap on the tone knobs enables you to switch from humbucker to single coil sounds. This is an invaluable feature and is incredibly easy to activate. This means you can have everything from ...
...many professional players have chosen Yamaha guitars over Gibsons due to the quality and look of the instruments. Due to the versatile tone, this guitar is suitable for a lot of different playing styles. I use it for playing rock/indie/jazz and I also play in a covers band with it. If you are gigging with this guitar I would reccomend having a chromatic tuner as part of your setup as it doesn't always stay in tune as well as you'd like it. Having ... Read review

Advantages: great sound
Disadvantages: need a decent amp to go with it

Well what a guitar this has to be my favourite guitar that i own. It looks great, sounds great and lets just face it its great. On stage it has never let me down it never sounds bad though this may because of my marshall amp but the two go together nicely. You may say that its the cheap version of the Gibson you would be right but it uses basicly all the same things its just the gibsons are hand made. The clean sound on this guitar is great sounds ...
...jonny b good or the classic summer of 69 obviously you can do them distorted but i thought that they sounded fantastic on clean. Well when my band wanted to do the darkness in the concert i thought i would use a much rocky guitar than this so i tried my flying v but i thought naaa tried this and the distorted sound was just incredible i manged to get the perfect sound. I have noticed that a few people have had input problems this is quite common ... Read review
