Stands & Truss Starcloth system Lighting Backdrop

Advantages: Well balanced tone,
Disadvantages: Prone to scratches

...that affects all guitars to some degree. Certainly once the 'DG25S' has acclimatised, I've never had to retune at the end of a song or anything like that. I've also found the restringing process to be very easy. Like most acoustics the 'DG25S' uses a peg system on the bridge that hold the strings in place. I've found these to be very easy to remove when needed, but also very sturdy so you won't find them popping out at the wrong moment. It has only a very light lacquer on the body, which keeps the wood looking natural, which is something I prefer compared to the more polished and prepped style of some guitars. The main problem though is because of this light lacquer the guitar is quite prone to scuffs and scratches. Over the years mine has picked up more than its' fair share, (though I have to say an awful lot of them are down to my own... Read review

Advantages: Almost Fully Customisable, Great Fail-Safe Features, Heavy Duty, Hidden Foot Spikes
Disadvantages: Ridiculously Expensive! The Rubber Felts Tend To Go Missing, No Spares

...I own an H-2000 hi hat stand, and it is amazing! Its built especially so that you can have your slave pedal (from your double bass pedal or whatever pedal you cant to keep next to your hi-hat) right next too it without having to worry that a 3rd leg will be in the way. *The cam is interchangeable with 4 different colour coded types allowing you to select the action of your hi-hat (slow then fast, fast consistent, slow consistent and fast then slow). *The spring is also adjustable which allows you to change the strength of the feel of the hi-hat raising up. The clutch comes with a fail-safe nut and when tightened is meant to keep the cymbal from unscrewing it (it has saved me a million times!) However the clutch doesn't have a fail safe for keeping to the stem, which gets a little annoying because if you smack the wing nut, the top hi... Read review

Advantages: A Fender Strat replica that matches Fender's in price, but beats them in terms of design, pick-ups and general build! A perfect rock guitar for the new or unbothered about something too fancy/pricey
Disadvantages: A little heavy, bothersome stringing procedure, nothing but rock basics (you get what you pay for!)

...-ups), and the most important thing personally, is that the neck's thinner than my old one. Not the thinnest neck I've held, but an agreeably thin neck helps many guitarists master chord changes. Thicker necks could even put off a possible future Hendrix! The pick-ups are arranged with a single in the middle, and the double-humbuckers on either aside. These can be focussed on via a simple switch on the front bottom of the guitar, under the sturdy rubber coated volume and tone knobs. The neck is strong yet light, which is a plus as the main body is a little heavier than my old guitar (a sign of sturdiness!). The tuning system is a little more fangled than my simple old one (which is why this comes with a booklet on maintenance!) but the guitar stays in tune for longer (wear and tear absorbtion), which is a very welcome part of this system...
