I bought this guitar to have at hand around the house; many places sell then around the 300€ mark. It is a very solid guitar, and I mean solid! I feels built to withstand a lot of "eventualities". The tuners are solid, and hold very well, the knobs/potentiometers are solid. The whole guitar is built like a brick s*it house! Has a two-piece "scarf-joint" neck. The pickups are very good crisp and clean (Schecter Diamond Plus?). My only complaint is the sharp fret ends that have not been finished properly. High gloss finish on the body. Has no binding or detailing, to be expected at this price-point. Four stars due to its value or money.

Was a great pedal for the extremely modest price they were asking for it (now out of production). Very small and lightweight, easy to carry around in a gig bag. Although plastic it has a robust design. Operating it takes a while to get used to, and a good number of the effects have weird and undesirable "artifacts", especially noticeable when wearing earphones, but like I said, "You get what you pay for".

This "feedback buster" looks very nice, although expensive and not particularly effective.

A Gibson Les Paul Studio; what more can I say. This particular studio model, made between December 2002 up to 2008, is nicely understated in the visuals department with a (in my case, two-piece) mahogany back and a muiricatiara top. Lovely sustain. Out of the box some low E buzz, and the output jack nut has a tendency to work itself loose. Usual trivial things.

A joy to play, good sound (original pups) and reasonable build quality (some blemishes in the wood). For for the price they are, it is an excellent guitar.

The D25 had a solid spruce top, ovangkol back and sides and Grover machine heads. Mine is from 1989 and over the years it has developed a tone that is above its paygrade.
