Classic guitar

Mine is '96, and put a black pickguard for the looks. Cool sounding, and feeling guitar, everybody knows a strat. Cool guitars.

Cool little guitar.

Just a classic strat, no much to say about it. Feels good, sounds good, and looks good.

You can't go wrong with the classic JB.

There's no much to say about it, cool sounding and useful pickup. It might be bright for some people. There's no much difference between the Trem and the Humbucker in my opinion other than satisfy my OCD.

Good Picks

It's a good material, and I always loved the smell in these (weird?). Celluloid picks where the first I started to use, and I have a nostalic feel attached to them.

Seem durable and good quality. I love them in acoustic guitars.

I just love Ernie Ball strings

Great strings. I've used them in the past. While I prefer 10's on my rythm, the hybrids actually are very good for lead parts, with low gauge on bottomm but still thick on the top for power chords.. I've broke the Low E string, but it was in an old bad setup guitar, and I also play quite hard, and I also hit the higher strings differenly while playing. Still, great strings.

Quite good, though.

I got it in a pack with my acoustic. It actually sounds good, clean, and still gives an acoustic vibe. It's not that powerfull (15W), but still can quite fill a not huge area; mine's been used on a church and the echo gave it more room, of course.

It has a XLR input, but sadly just a volume knob for EQ, but it may help if you're lacking for a PA System for small Band practice session, or maybe for your guitar/bass player comrade for support you vocally in the old punk rock style.

Build to last.

There's not much to say. Pretty straight forward foot controller. It really helps to maximize the use of the Johnson Millennium Stereo 150. You can't get the amp without this pedal.

Good working capo

I use mine for acoustic and electric as well. I've got it for around 10 years now.

They're great.

Great sounding strings, They sound as they sell, warm and bright. Sounds great with my rhythmic and picking style. They don't last too much, but the sound afterwards isn't bad.

I use them whenever I've got to play live, and keep them until next. They're great for either an amateur or bedroom player, and performing as well.

Pretty basic yet functional guitar.

I've got this for my birthday around 6 years ago. Still got it in ebony color. Works great, easy to set up, and good sounding little guitar. Very solid, mine haven't got any scratches ir dents.

Nut and saddles are quite cheap, since I got mine worn overtime. But for the price it's quite good. Tuners may look cheap, but hold tune very well, at least on my guitar.

Awesome picks!

I just love them! I play very agressive on my guitar, and with other picks they just break. The right thickness for my fingers and strings. Powerfull in acoustic guitars. Never got any other broken like the others.

Simple, yet awesome.

Very good strings. Hold very good and suits myself. I love medium-high tension on my guitars. I'm myself a very agressive (mostly rrhythm) player, and this holds as they should. Haven't broke any before having to change them. If you take care of the strings puting your guitar in her case, and wipe them after playing with clean hands, can last quite a while.

Raw and Pure Rock'n'Roll

It's a very nice guitar for the price. It does what a guitar should do. Easy to modify, or make a setup. An excelent rock and roll machine.

Though, I've modified mine with a Gibson P-90 Pickup, CTS 500k pots, Gibson Deluxe Tuners, Gibson Wraparound Tailpiece (50's Style).

This amp rocks!

It is a very good amplifier. Sounds good and can achieve many tones. If you're looking for a versatile and felxible amp, this is a way to go. From 50's to modern music. Has Fender, Marshall, Vox, Mesa and many different tones. Powered by two Celestion Vintage 30's.

Has many options and at first may seem scary, eventually you'll figure out how to use it, Never been able to use it at max volume due the powerfull volume it has.

I gave it 3-Stars due the fact that they're currently not being made anymore. Yes, the company still gives some contributions and the warranty still functions, but even being a tube amp, it mainly functions via transistors and digital effects. I got this one quite beat up, but functional, and the guy who I bought it (who's a well known musician and quite inolved in the music scene as a audio engineer back from when my dad use to go at venues and gigs on his teens) from said if I had any issues, he'll happly help me with it, since he owned it for years. This amp may have between 20 or less years, and I haven't got issues YET, I don't know in a future, hopefully never.

Still i'd love to have another amps to rely on, and I might keep some parts (specially those sweet Celestion Vintage 30 Speakers!) for future uses (old speakers rules!).
