The Complete Guitar Player - Russ Shipton

Great guitar for beginners and intermediate players

Advantages: great tone, easy to play, good for beginners
Disadvantages: not really nice colour, require good maintainance.

This should probably be the first guitar for beginners. I bought it about 4 years ago and it was also my first electric guitar. The guitar has a really good sound with 5-way toggle that allows you to play all kinds of music with different tones. The Humbucker & Single Coil Middle Pickup produce great sound with very low noise. I felt lucky that I chose this guitar as my first electric. The guitar is well structured and I can play up down the fret, bend the strings and do all other advanced technique with ease and the sound it produces is great. Until now, sometimes I still take it out from to jam with friends and the sound is still the same after 4 years. However, the guitar requires well maintained condition. As for mine, I usually put it on the guitar stad, without keeping it in the bag and now the screws and pickups are quite rusty ...

Review of Hamer Californian Electric Guitar

L Loved this Guitars

Advantages: Perfect
Disadvantages: more weight

Ephiphone is great brand .This guitar is good for all condition .This one had the biggest "bark" and was the easiest on the fingers. This model have a good points: -The guitar has "bling" -The guitar has "bark" -The setup was perfect -There were no flaws that I could detect to the workmanship About the quality this is Rivals the high-priced Gibson counterpart in sound and playability. Is this the best acoustic in the world, NO. Would you see many artist on stage at a major venue playing this thing, probably not. BUT, for only $400 , it sounds DAMN GOOD, plays extremly well, and seeing how I doubt I will ever play a major venue, who cares if major artist aren't playing one. You must take it for your music style ...

Review of Epiphone EJ-200 Acoustic Guitar

Basic Russ Hill - Gatwick "MacHotel"

Advantages: Cheap, Clean, Airport Hotel, Courtesy Bus, Big car park
Disadvantages: No Frills, Basic

General The Russ Hill, Chatwood, is a 2 star hotel, with just over 150 rooms. It advertised in some places as a 3 star hotel, and can only be described as fast food style in a hotel. A MacHotel so to speak. We stayed here when waiting to fly out on holiday last year, and also when we returned. It was an online purchase from a hotel selling group and it was I have to say very cheap to purchase. You buy your room (only) no breakfast provided. The hotel is primarily catering for those going on package holidays. You can book your car in for a holiday stay also. We flew in from Belfast so did not have to avail of this service. They have lots of parking space and I got the impression that this was a major income stream for the Hotel. There was no porter service, no lift and are room was some distance from ...
