Title of Instrument Example: Fender Standard Telecaster Price Paid / Price New: $375/$400 Year Manufactured: 2006 Specs: - Alder Solid Body - Maple fretboard (22 frets) - 2 Pickups (Single-coil) Sound: 5/5. The reason I bought it. The Telecaster's sound is completely set apart from all other electric guitars as far as I'm concerned. Instrument Quality: 4/5. It's a good, well-made, durable guitar. Unfortunately, its intonation could be better. Just about every restringing there is an intonation issue. Not a big deal, though. Playability: 4.9/5. The top couple frets are weird. It's a little difficult to get your fingers around them. Overall Value: 5/5. For the price I paid, I don't think I could find a better instrument. I would definitely pay more for it. The pickups on this thing are really quite good. I raised the bridge pickup closer to the strings to make it sound hotter, and you might find yourself doing a similar modification. For the difference in price between it and the American Deluxe models, it's really amazing. Save your money and just get this: the differences are small and mostly superficial. You can make it look like a deluxe model anyway by putting on a pearl pickguard, like I did. If you must upgrade, don't buy Fender, buy a G & L. But, like I said, for this price, there are very few better guitars. Highly recommended. --------------------------- Line 6 Spider III Price Paid / Price New: $199/$199 Year Manufactured: 2006 Specs Equipment's Specifications. - 30 Watts - 12 Inch speakers - 4 Amp models - 6 effects (2 simultaneous) - 4 user-programmable channels - Footswitch jack compatible Sound: 4/5. The speaker is really loud, and certain guitars (such as the Telecaster reviewed above) can really make her sing. There are amps with more tones, but the effects on this amp beat most other amps I've used. Equipment Quality: 4/5. Like I said, the speaker is good. Usefulness: 4/5. Like everything else about this amp, it's definitely decent. It's a useful amp with a lot of tones, and it can really sound professional. It's especially good for a guitarist who doesn't gig and is beginner or intermediate. Overall Value: 4/5. It's a great amp that a really great guitarist will grow out of very quickly. I will say that the man who sold it to me said that he's had a few returned to him because they blew the speaker. It's a problem with a lot of amps, but this thing is hot off the presses. That's my disclaimer. ButteryJoe fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Mar 22, 2007 |
