really nice guitar strap, very strange fit

I generally love this strap, it's easy to install and feels good and sturdy quality-wise. Also, I think it's cool that I don't have to get a new strap for every guitar and can just swap it around without having to bother with taking off and putting on strap locks every time. The only thing I don't like about it is how long it is, I am 1,65m, and I'm definitely going to have to shorten it a little, especially if I want to use it while sitting down.

Exactly what you would expect

I got mine from eBay and quickly realized it's most likely around 20 years old and compared to the current ones it's not great, the bar seems to be a lot higher nowadays. It is decent though, it's supposed to be a cheap beginner guitar and that is exactly what it is, for now I am learning with it which it's nice for and at some point I'm probably going to replace some parts like the pickups just to see what I can make of it. It does have a bit of trouble staying in tune and I might replace the tuners in the near future, and it's also a little noisy, I haven't figured out yet if it's just the single coil sound or if there's maybe something off with the wiring. Apart from that, I think it sounds pretty good. I don't use the tremolo, so I can't say anything about that, general playability is fine though after I figured out how to set it up semi correctly. All in all it's a fun guitar, not perfect but good enough for me as a beginner and really exactly what you would expect it to be.

versatile practice tool

I just started learning to play the guitar and of course one of the big questions is what kind of gear should I get and what kind of gear do I even need, and especially when it comes to Amp's, there are endless options. I think Headphone Amp's in general are really nice for practicing, and this one is pretty versatile. I use it plugged into my Guitar with Headphones (it comes with an App where you can choose between preexisting effect presets, but you can also create your own and even upload them or download other peoples presets from the library) but also as an audio interface for my laptop to use virtual amp sims or even record, which is very nice because I don't have to buy a completely separate interface for now. There are a lot of amps and pedals to choose from in the app, depending on the tone you want, the only issue with this Headphone Amp is that it has a little bit of constant white noise which isn't noticeable for cleaner presets but a lot more noisy on higher gain settings, this is something that can be reduced by adjusting some of the settings or (when using it to connect to a computer) using a noise gate though. Overall, this is an amazing tool for me as a beginner, but I would say for pretty much anyone who is looking for a small, portable practice amp with a couple of extra features.
