Great!
If you like chrome slides, this obviously isn't a slide for you. It's the only slide I've ever owned, dub it fits me well. I can use it on any finger, I mean, some fingers are more comfortable than others, but it'll fit any one. (just be careful it doesn't slide off if you have it on your pinky) It's great for playing live, but I've never recorded it. I'm most certainly not a slide player, but i do enjoy a good jam in open d, or open g. Particular songs where this slide can shine is "I Need To Be Your Only" by The Strypes. Their guitarist uses a chrome slide. But (again), I'm not a slide player- -I notice no difference. Overall I think it is fantastic. But depending on your finger size and what tones you want to get, or what style of guitars you play you may or may not want a different one. Anyways.. works good for me!

Starter Guitar
You can get some unique tones out of this, but overall, it's a starter guitar. You're better off with the bullet strat by Squier. Honestly, it does sound like a strat. But yeah. If you might be looking to get into guitar. Get this. So that if it turns out you don't like the guitar, than you didn't waste very much money, or you can sell it to someone who might actually get into the guitar.

What Can I Say?
Does It's Job! Does It Well! Capos Aren't Just For Beginners, They Can Be Used To Get Great Tone That You Can't Get Without A Capo. I've Also Found It Handy To Stick My Slide On. Really, Just A Great Capo. Remember, You're Never Too Good For A Capo!

Good Strings.
The Strings Are Reliable. Then Sound Pretty Good, And Last A Good Amount Of Time. Good Tone, Good Stuff.

Crappy Amp, Few Possibilities For Good Tone
The Only Way To Get Good Tone Is To Pair It With My Fender Starcaster Strat, And Crank It. Maybe Put My EHX OD Glove With It. A Crappy Solid State Amp. I Modded It For A Better Overdrive, And Made It Open Back. I Don't Really Even Recommend It. I Guess It's Ok For Beginners, But Really, There Are Better Beginner Amps.

Well, I Guess It's Tube
There Are Many Better Amps, But It's What I Got. Could Be Louder, Could Sound Better, Could Be Bigger. Really, It's Nothing Special, All My Amps Are Small Practice Combos. I'd Rather Play A Hot Rod Deluxe. Hot Rod Deluxes Are Great Amps..

The Legendary, Ever Faithful, Carbon Copy
I Remember The Day I Got This Pedal.. I Plugged It In, And Realized That I Plugged It In Backwards. Then Plugged It In The Right Way, And It Still Didn't Turn On! Then I Realized I Needed A Power Source. (The Carbon Copy Was My First Pedal, As You Can See) Roughly A Week Later, I Plugged It In, Turned On, And Produced Echos, And I Though. Wow, What A Waste Of Money! I Was So Mad, After All That I Was Disappointed With The $116 Dollar Guitar Toy That My Parents Had So Generously Given To Me. I Was So Frustrated I Gave Up On The Whole Day, And Went To Sleep Hoping To Wake Up, And Find That I Had Gotten A Tubescreamer Instead, And That The Carbon Copy Was A Bad Dream. I Just Couldn't Make The Pedal Sound Good! Finally, A Good Year Later, I Had Finally Mastered The Way Of The Carbon Copy, Making Sweeping Spaceship Noises, And Having Lush, Beautiful, Inspiring, Other-World-ly, Delay Tones. I Realized That If You Know (Or Learn) How To Use This Pedal, It Can Be A Very Inspiring, Creative, Though Provoking Pedal, That Can Move You To Become A Better Guitarist, And Make You Fall In Love With The Guitar Again, And Again. These Words Are True. I Have Had No Problems With The Carbon Copy (Except For Plugging It In Backwards). It Doesn't Hum When It Runs On Batteries Like My EHX OD Glove Does. The Only Problem You Could Really Come Across Is If You Want To Sound Like "The Edge", Then Get A Digital Delay, Or The Carbon Copy Bright. I've Found That If You Set The Settings Right, It's Very Easy To Make This Pedal A Chorus Pedal Too. Though If You're Looking For A Chorus Pedal, I Recommend Chorus Pedals For Chorus Pedals. Anyways, Great Pedal. I Love It. It's Amazing.

please, rewrite your review on the right page. It's MXR Carbon Copy. This page is duplicated with the wrong pedal name.

Low Price, High End(Ish)
A Good Overdrive Pedal For What I Do, It Can Be Chunky, Smooth, Searing, Blistering, Anything I Need It To Be. It Also Has A Mid Boost That I Value Incredibly..

A Great Guitar For A Budget Friendly Price!
The LTD 203FR Is A Great Guitar For The Money. If You're Looking For A Good Guitar To Start On, It Works. If You're Looking To Get A Pretty Serious Guitar, And You Only Have $400, It's Your Kind Of Thing. I Chose The Black, Disstressed, Floyd Rose Version. Looking Back, The Only Reason It's Possibly Any Better Than The Non-Floyd Rose Version Is Because It's A Floyd Rose Guitar, But That's Really 100% Preference, Or Genre. One Of The Many Things I Love About It Is Has A Side For Any Genre Of Music, I Play Blues, Hard Rock, Grunge, Punk, And Many More Genres, But In Any Genre It's A Dependable Guitar. One Last Taste I'll Put In Your Mouth Is That The Back Of The Neck Is Very Smooth, And Isn't An Obstacle For Fanciful Fretwork. Overall, The LTD ST203 FR Is Versatile, Well Crafted, Good Sounding Guitar.
