Gear 9

I use this as a practice amp at home or for small jams in my studio/jam space. Nice sound to it and no complaints so far.
I couldn't find the exact guitar on this website however I have the Limited 2011 year (I think) with the Hawaiian KOA back, Fish bone and Pike Inlays. Very nice guitar to play and like all acoustics...once you find one that speaks to you, you snatch it up right away. The action is very nice with this guitar and it has IMO a perfect balance of sound between a Gibson and Martin. The workmanship of this guitar is flawless compared to the Gibson and Martin guitars I compared it too. Some will debate that it's not really a good comparison, which I accept, it's just a matter of what appeals to the individual and this is simply my opinion. Well done Robert!!!
I got this amp in a trade for a line 6/ Bogner amp and a Hagstrom Viking. Not one regret. My amp tech checked out the amp and confirmed this was a really good JCM 800 since there are good ones and bad ones...who knew :) he then offered to buy it lol The amp sounds great as one would expect. I'm currently using a 2x12 cab with 79 celestion blackbacks. I use a TC Electronic Chorus and Flaskback Delay through the effects loop and a Fulltone OCD and EHX Big Muff PI straight into the amp. Very pleased with this setup but open to suggestions on how to tweak the sound.
Just purchased this amp in the last year however it has proven to be very a versatile amp for me. Being a guitar player in Rock cover bands it allows me to cover all basis...Classic Rock, Modern Rock, Grunge, Alternative etc. Only issue I have with the amp is the annoying popping sound when switching to channel 3 and Mute/Tuner for the first time after power-up. If you're amp is at gigging levels this could be a very loud pop which would probably be bad for the ears not to mention the equipment. Overall I'm very satisfied with the amp.
Love my Fender Stratocaster Deluxe SSS. It has the noiseless PUPS in it which I think sounds amazing. I've had several friends and instructors that commented on the sound and offered to buy it off me but this one's going nowhere :) Not much more to say other than that. It's like any other strat you pick up and play. You either love them or hate them. I happen to love mine and it has a lot of bite...
I have the limited run of this guitar for either Musiciansfriend or the Guitar Center. It has a nice dark red mahogany body with a black head-stock which I think is pretty cool. The mahogany body makes it a little heavier however it's not that noticeable to me. It's got the diamond humbucker in it which is OK. I'm thinking about swapping it out but not sure yet (any suggestions???) since the guitar is new to me. The play-ability of the guitar is what you would expect for a fender although I'm not getting that nice strat sound out of the neck PUP...could be my current setup so I need to play with it. Overall I like the feel of the guitar, the action is nice and I like having the best of both worlds with the HSS config. I'm not sure if the LSR nut has anything to do with it however there's a noticeable difference while bending. It seems to provide more feeling than what I'm used to. It would be interesting to see what others on this website say about the LSR nut since this is the first time I played a guitar that has one. That's it for now.
2013 was the year Gibson finally got it right? Overall it's a really nice guitar to play and sounds good especially with the 57 classic PUPS however the balance of the guitar is not the best. Compared to the 92 SG Standard I had this guitar doesn't come close to being as good. Action is great, the neck is fast and it's a really fun guitar to play. It's a light guitar which makes it comfortable however I find myself constantly adjusting how it sits while playing, minor detail but annoying. Everything else about the guitar I like.
This guitar has great balance and plays really nice. I like the action of the guitar and the sound of the dyna-sonic PUPS are amazing IMO. It's a light guitar and really comfortable to play since the guitar is chambered and considered a semi-hollow body guitar. The neck position is my favorite on this guitar and sounds great...reminds me of Jimi's Little Wing intro. Different style guitar than what I'm used to however it's a real jem.
This is my main guitar. The guitar plays like a dream, stays in tune and sounds amazing since I swapped out the stock PUPS and replaced them with the PRS 57/08 PUPS. The guitar is cut away nicely for easy access to the higher frets. As for the looks you cannot beat the PRS guitars. My guitar is not a 10 Top however it has a great finish. Only negative thing I can think of is the 5 way rotary switch which is a pain however that was an easy fix with a simple swap out to a 3-way toggle. Can't take advantage of the different tone but I like to keep it simple :)
