Perfect for every occasion

Advantages: superb playability, excellent intonation and tone
Disadvantages: can be quite expensive

...:). Originally the Fender Stratocaster was made in 3 countries which was subsided into 3 different price ranges. The Mexican Strat was the cheapest, then there was the Japanese mid range Strat and finally the more expensive American. Slightly different woods and pickups where the main defining difference between the 3 models. unfortunately they seized production of the Japanese Strat a few years back which has always been my preferred choice due ...
...makes this axe so versatile. Fender really have set a benchmark that many companies have tried desperately to copy, but none can compete with that of an original Fender Stratocaster. If you are into the sounds of a Gibson then this guitar is not for you as there are is no chance of making this sound like a les paul. Although in my opinion these guitars equally sound great, they are also completely different sounding guitars as they are built a different ...

Review of Fender 50s Stratocaster Electric Guitar

So comfortable it even helps with your playing

Advantages: The neck is perfect, no stretching and very comfortable
Disadvantages: Nowhere to put a whammy bar

...it. Much better than the fender strat squire I began with, the fret boards lighter coloured wood looks better and in my opinion makes it easier to see what your doing. The neck has the best feel I have ever felt from any guitar I have played. The neck is quite skinny so easy to get your fingers around for people who suffer from that problem but it doesn't compramise on the fret boards width, i.e. the strings are not too close together. Its not that ...

Review of Fender 72 Telecaster Custom Electric Guitar

An Ace Bass

Advantages: Body Cut, Tone, Durability, Versatility
Disadvantages: Colour Choice

I love this Bass.. It has a really punchy sound and can be applied to any style of music. I recently stood in for a Jazz band at fairly short notice and had to use my Jaguar. It performed admirably and even recieved comments about the sound from both the drummer and pianist. Look wise the Jag also holds its own, I really like the fretboard inlays which remind me of my Lakland and the cut of the body makes it as comfortable to play sitting as standing. ...
...supplied with the Bass were pretty low quality and lacked a roundness in sound. I know you can get the odd set that is not right and I'm putting it down to this. But once changed the axe played fine. I would recommend this guitar to anyone and for the £650 I paid its a hell of a lot of wood for your money.. ...

Review of Fender 62 Jaguar Electric Guitar

well build, dynamic and noiseless tone!

Advantages: Well built, noisless pickups, very comfortable
Disadvantages: Tuning stability without LSR (or similar nut)

The american deluxe series of strats offer great ballance of modern conveniences such as noiseless pickups, a modern C shaped neck and construction techniques that all in all offer an extremely well playing and great sounding instrument. I had personally bought an american deluxe simply as a "blues guitar" however it didn't take me long to fall in love with the instrument. Whilst the samarium cobalt noiseless pickups from Bill Lawrence do not offer ...
...do they offer a thick yet very distinctive tone that is rich and dynamic with all but the highest of trebble intact. Whilst in my oppinion t doesn't have the same "twang" as 'non noisless pickups' possess it more than makes up with the ability to use very high gain settings live with no worry about even a hint of a buzz as I have tested on several occasions. My only suggestion is perhaps to track one down with an LSR nut or modify the guitar if you ...

Review of Fender American Deluxe Strat LH

epihone not bad guitar

Advantages: warm tone
Disadvantages: pickup need to be change

...do and replaced the feeble epiphone pups with a pair of original 1982 stamped patent number cream Gibson 'buckers/surrounds I got off Fleabay and the tuners with Gibsons Deluxe 58 reissues. Sounds like everything you could ever want it to be. Beautiful. I tend to play guitars to death, so I'm pretty sure this will stand the test of time. Body seems prone to the odd ding, or two, but it gives the thing character (so they say!) I've no real problems ...
