We are in desperate need of more reviews! I personally would like to see more instrument reviews, but we could use more reviews in general! Also, do not feel forced into this format. Though it makes things look more uniform, it is not mandatory. The Musician's Lounge Instrument/Eqipment Review Thread Reviews: By goons, for goons. A: Reviewing an Instrument Please use "N/A" with any section not applicable, just for uniformity. Title of Instrument Example: Gibson Les Paul Studio Price Paid / Price New: Example: $500/$900 Year Manufactured: Example: 2004 Specs: Instrument's Specifications - Pickups, Neck, etc. Use a list if possible. Sound: Example 5/5. Then below type a short review if you desire. Instrument Quality: Example 5/5. Type a short review if you want. Playbility: Example 5/5. Another short review if you want. Overall Value: Example 5/5. Was it worth the price you paid? Why or why not? Any other information you'd like to add, please feel free to do so. Overall Value: Example 5/5. Worth the price, all things considered? Would you have paid more for this instrument? B: Reviewing a Piece of Equipment Once again, if you would please put an N/A for uniformity. Title of Equipment Example: Fender Champion 30 Price Paid / Price New: Example: $500/$900 Year Manufactured: Example: 2004 Specs Equipment's Specifications. Power supply, what it does, etc. Use a list if possible Sound (or applicable): Example 5/5. Then below type a short review if you desire. Equipment Quality: Example 5/5. Type a short review if you want. Usefullness: Example 5/5. Another short review if you want. Overall Value: Example 5/5. Was it worth the price you paid? Why or why not? Any other information you'd like to add, please feel free to do so. du -hast fucked around with this message at 19:45 on Oct 11, 2004 |

Epiphone Les Paul Special II Price: $200 Year: 2003 Specs:
All things considered the sound is very marginal. On the bridge pickup, there is a slight hum and popping sound, and the tone seems to be consistently off. The neck pickup produces a slightly more rich sound. More muffled sounding, and much cleaner. There seems to be no real reason to ever use the bridge pickup as it is simply a quiter version of the neck pickup. The sound of both pickups is lacking, seeming to be much less full than equal guitars of it's same price range. Instrument Quality: 1/5 The quality of this instrument is where it really misses the mark. The guitar does not come set up, and the tone is consistently off especially on the G. The neck of my brother's - who has the same guitar - came actually cracked in the back. The electronics where you plugin falls out constantly; I've finally given up and superglued it on. Also, this guitar weighs about fifteen pounds, it's like carrying an instrument made of bricks. Playbility:3/5 The playbility of this guitar is marginal; there are dead spots on the neck and it seems as though the frets were spaced in a random order, causing much difficulty fingering. This has an odd feel to it. However, a guitar's a guitar, and the neck is a little wider than a Squier Strat, which is nice for my big hands. Overall Value: 2/5 Don't buy this guitar as your first, go for a Squier Strat instead. It's similarly priced, and sounds slightly better. And if you have the money to go higher, do so. You get less than what you pay for.

Fender Champion 30 Price Paid / Price New:$249/$239 Year Manufactured: 2003 Specs:
[/b]Sound:[/b] 5/5 Loud, great sound, no tinniness in sight. As loud as a tube amp and better sounding. I've never seen a better sounding amp (or heard rather). Equipment Quality: 4/5 Wonderful quality. Sturdy, and won't break if you drop it. My only complaint is that the knobs are easy to pop off unknowingly when you brush by something. Usefullness: 5/5 My only amp, it's obviously useful. Overall Value: Example 5/5 Buy it.
