Review of Fender Deluxe Nashville Telecaster Electric Guitar

It's a Fender!

Advantages: Great sounding and playing guitar by the masters!
Disadvantages: There are none

...Pauls.' It was like entering an Aladdin's cave for me really. Then I saw the Fender?! it was an acoustic and it was hanging there saying 'Play me, Borg, play me.' I slowly walked over and with a shaking hand I touched the strings. Grrrllinnggg! Few boring facts: ****************** No. of Frets - 20 Position Markers - Dot Position Inlays Bridge/Tailpiece - Sonokeling with Compensated Saddle Case - Hardshell Body Type - Fender Style Dreadnought Finish - Polyurethane Neck Wood - Nato Top Wood - Laminated Spruce Back Wood - Laminated Mahogany Side Wood - Laminated Mahogany Machine Heads - Chrome, (Die-Cast) Scale Length - 25.3" Fingerboard - Sonokeling ...and back to the tale... An assistant saw me and asked if I wanted to have a go. I did not need asking twice. He removed it from its place and I put it in my hands. The guitar felt so...

Review of Fender Acoustic Spruce Top Dreadnought

Vax - rewriting the definition of "deluxe"

Advantages: It cleans what it is supposed to
Disadvantages: Poor design and quality

...I've owned this carpet cleaner with upholstery attachment for nearly exactly two years, when purchased it was on offer at £69.99, currently £81.74 (RRP £149.99)at amazon. The first and probably most important thing I would say about this cleaner is don't pay £149.99 or you may be disappointed. At a lower price this cleaner was a good alternative to me to hiring a carpet cleaner - at the time I was moving out of a rental house and into my own house and so wanted to clean all the carptets myself, and this as I shall explain, the cleaner was able to do successfully, though I have a few reservations about this product, even at a lower price. What you get The Vax VO26 came in quite a compact box. The first task on opening the box is actually to assemble the cleaner. Now call me fussy but for an item with "deluxe...

Review of VAX V 026 Rapide Deluxe

Fender Classic '50s Stratocaster

Advantages: Superb Neck
Disadvantages: Single Ply Scratchplate

...about Mexican Fenders but I have no complaints about any of the components here nor the craftsmanship. There were no loose parts and the gloss finish on the neck is perfect. The vintage tuners in particular are very good. Fair enough, I had to spend half an hour setting the intonation and getting the action set to my preferred height but that would be true of most guitars. It also pays dividends to experiment with pickup heights to achieve "that" sound and get things balanced. Close examination did reveal a slightly less than perfectly even finish on the polyester paint but that's only when you keep tilting your head close up. I am nit picking here. The one thing I really didn't like about the guitar was the single ply white scratchplate. Although this replicates the original '50s model I thought it looked very cheap (it was also only...

Review of Fender 50s Stratocaster 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 the same glassy bite that the traditional (and noisy) pickups 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...

Review of Fender American Deluxe Strat LH

Not so Deluxe...

Advantages: Situated in a nice area, really friendly staff, basic apartment
Disadvantages: Nothing too special about it, wouldn't go back.

...I booked up with Thomson to go to Turkey from London Stansted to Dalaman and to stay at Samira Deluxe Apartment with my other half. It cost us about £750 altogether for one week at the end of June, which I think is OK for a holiday these days. The apartments are 2 hours drive away from Dalaman airport, which some people think is quite a long time; but it didn't seem too long because we were just so tired as we landed at about 1am. We got to the apartments at about 3am. Walking into the reception; it was horrible. Everywhere was covered in moths because they kept all the doors open and all the lights on. They were absolutely everywhere. We were shown to our room and found that we had twin beds that couldn't be moved together and we were both too tired to complain about it, so we both went to bed. Waking up, we went to our extremely...

Review of Samira Deluxe Apartments, Kalkan

Fender standard jazz!

Advantages: Very versatile, excellent quality
Disadvantages: More expensive than the standard precision

...guitar store will fix this if you can't do it yourself. Again like most fenders there is hardlty any difference between american and mexican guitars. I tried both and seemed a waste to spend double the amount when there was not much difference. It is a lot better than the squire bass though. I used to own a fender standard precision bass but the jazz completely beats that, being a lot more versatile and easier to play i prefer it, but still make sure you try both out! Mine is midnight wine with white pickguard, rosewood neck, and it is lovely, so give it a go and see what you think!...

Squier by Fender Standard Stratocaster - Excellent first guitar

Advantages: Great sound. Low price. Good-looking. Reliable. Durable.
Disadvantages: None

...This was my first guitar. When I decided to learn to play the guitar, I asked my guitar teacher to tell me what equipment I should get, and he wrote down on a sheet of paper what I needed and told me to go to a specific music store in Denmark Street, off Tottenham Court Road, and give it to his friend there who would take care of it and give me a discount on everything. I knew nothing about guitars, so I trusted his expertise. I went to the store, and this was the guitar: the Squier by Fender Standard Strat. Fender is one of the world's instrument manufacturing giants, and Squier is its lower priced brand. The Squier instruments are mostly derived from Fender's own line. ************************************************* ************ Features: The Squier Standard Strat has a C-shape maple neck with a 9...

Review of Fender Squier Standard Strat

Fender Stratocaster 1962 Reissue (Japan)

Advantages: Great neck, good build quality, value for money
Disadvantages: Low output pickups, not suited for heavier music styles

...Introduction I own a Fender Stratocaster 1962 reissue guitar that I purchased way back in 1989. This guitar was manufactured in Japan at some point during 1988. This guitar is something that I am pretty fond of, what with it being my first "proper" guitar, and at the time taking me the best part of a year to save up for! I purchased this guitar from Peter Cook's music shop in London and paid the sum of £299. Try buying a guitar made in Japan for that sort of money these days and you will struggle! Most low to medium price guitars are now made in India, China or Taiwan. It seems quite ironic to me that Japan has now become too expensive to manufacture lower priced guitars in! Specifications This guitar is based on the design of the 1962 Stratocaster. Therefore it has features common to Fender Strats of that era. These...
