Stagg C530 PACK 3/4 Size Classical Spanish Guitar Pack

Advantages: cheap, starter guitar
Disadvantages: cheap-looking finish, small

...the fretboard, it was easy to reach each fret on each string, but the neck was really very thin. The guitar appeared to constructed from good materials, it did not appear flimsy or rickety, and the main body appeared to be of a good thickness. It is said to be a solid top, which is a bonus. The headstock of the guitar was nice, with good metal machineheads for ease of tuning. The name of this guitar includes the word 'jumbo'. I'm not entirely sure why this is, as it is not a very big guitar. It is meant to be a standard dreadnought (medium size) guitar, but was quite a bit smaller than many other guitars in the shop. In the end, I went for a different guitar (a Fender DG-5, I would write a review for that too but there is no category for it on here), because I wanted a guitar with a bit more substance, a bit more ring, and nicer looking...

Advantages: THAT signature sound, amazing looks, solid build
Disadvantages: finish has imperfections, NOT FOR SHREDDERS, high end sounds tight

...When Gibson and Epihphone got together to do a dual-launch of Slash Signature Guitars I was dubious at first. Would epiphone be able to capture a sound that comes from a over1100 pound guitar in a sub 500pound package? The answer is an astounding YES! BUILD/LOOKS the first thing I noticed when I picked up this guitar was how reasuringly solid it felt. You get the feeling that if you threw this guitar off of a cliff it would still be playable afterwards! the dimensions of the guitar are well thought-out and it sits evenly on the lap. the shape of the body and the density of the wood also give it an amazing sound (which I will address later). The high frets are not particulary easy to access though, due to the shape of the body. the glued-in neck gives the guitar an incredible sustain and contributes to the solid feel... Read review

Advantages: beautiful Finish, lovely playing quality, great sounds, good VFM
Disadvantages: A little heavy, needed proper setup

...I bought this guitar from somebody who did not get on with it, bought very cheaply from Ebay. when I received it I was stunned by the look of it but not impressed by its playability. that was because it hadn't been set up properly. After a little research and a couple of hours work it now plays like a dream. the first things needed with any guitar is a new set of strings. Then the action and intonation need to be checked. once this was done I was delighted with what I had. the finish is wonderful. cherry sunburst, trapesoidle fret markers and a gorgeous inlay of a phoenix on the neck make this not only a thing of beauty but a real player's instrument as well The setup is the usual Les Paul style. Two humbuckers, two volume, two tones controls, selector switch and 3X3 tuning head. this model has gold finished... Read review
