Narcist

Long story short, it doesn't fit my style. Nevertheless, It's a fantastic guitar. My dad bought this a few decades ago when he worked at a Roland factory and passed it to me when he stopped playing. It's got moderate humbuckers that have a very clean, warm sound. The fretboard and neck feel very smooth and nice. It actually stays in tune, too. Only problem is that I have no GR-300 synth to connect to. Nevertheless, a beautiful piece of history to have.

Keep in mind that retail, this is $120. So, I bough this off eBay used, but so far, there was no difference from a brand new Melo-Verb. I've been using it for some time, and I have a good idea of the tones this thing can pull off. Essentially, it's a tremolo and reverb in one pedal. Starting with the tremolo side, it's just about the most dynamic tremolo I've had. I can't say much, but it's a fantastic sounding trem. The reverb side is not my favourite. It's a spring, but the speed is much too slow, making the tone sound very strange, especially when making any percussive sounds. As a general reverb to be left on, it's fine, but if I put it any louder and play harder, it's tone suck. For slow leads, it works quite well.

Starting out with acoustic is a rough ride for everyone. Strings play an integral part of playing, as that and the body of the guitar are the most important factors that go into your developing tone. That said, anybody who's started out with guitar knows that when you first look at all those packets of strings at your local hole-in-the-wall music shop, your first words are probably going to be "I just need regular strings for an acoustic". I've spent some time looking at different strings, but sometime at the beginning, I ended up with D'Addario Phosphor Bronze strings, and I cannot convey how happy I am with these strings. Once they're on, the sound is crisp and delicious, they make you want to keep playing, and eventually, start restringing every month rather than once a year. I'm not one for fresh strings on an electric, but Phosphor Bronze does the job well.

These little picks are pretty much these weird, plastic things with awkward grip. I got acquanted with these for about a year or two, and I can say they're alright, but not worth being my main picks. The grip feels awkward, at least for myself. I use Dunlop Tortexs' a lot, and I like a pick to move around frequently in my hand, but I usually have control over where it moves. My friend who showed me these loves them, and I suppose it's a matter of opinion rather than actual quality. Quality wise, I'd recommend to anyone. Nevertheless, they're good enough to me as back-up picks when a Tortex jumps for freedom from my hand.

No other size but the 0.6mm Dunlop pick actually appears. These picks will vanish, then appear inthe oddest places. When I started playing, they kind of just appeared on my desk, and now I just find them in strange places. Luckily, I have an Altoid tin to keep'em safe, now. OK, I've used these picks for a long time, but I've used plenty of others. The 0.5, I just got, and so far, they might beat the 0.6. I've also tried those Snarling Dog Brain picks, but that grip is awkward. I find that my picks move a lot on my finger, and I like it. But otherwise, these Dunlop picks have been the absolute standard for myself. 0.6mm is a somewhat good balance between thin and thick, but my preference seems to be leaning towards a lighter size. I give it four stars because there are better picks, and as of now, I can't say they are the best until I've tried much more.

That's it, it works. But compared to the Fender/Kyser model, it sucks.

I wouldn't think to do a review of a capo, but I've owned another, and the difference is noticeable. I bought this for around $20. Fact is, it does its job of clamping onto the guitar quite well, compared to the other I've had. The other was $5 more, and it didn't hold as well as this one. Definitely recommend.

Not much to say here. It's a sort of preference situation. I got these for around $15 at the store, stuck'em on the Swede, and they work just as advertised. Honestly, the one thing I like about these is that the pins don't look too different from the original strap pins. Once you have your strap on, it doesn't look too terrible visually (as is a factor with most strap-locks).

Base Price: $110 on [Guitar Center](http://www.guitarcenter.com/Hagstrom/Swede-Super-Swede-and-Deluxe-Hardshell-Guitar-Case.gc). It's a very basic case with a tweed exterior, very nice feel to it. The interior is a very soft plush, ridiculously so. It's also small enough that my Tremar Super Swede fits snugly inside with no wiggle room. The latches feel a tad bit cheap, as if they won't completely hold. The lock... that thing is annoying to mess with. It's just a cheap, malleable key that could probably break fairly easily. Messing with the lock is annoying to do, so I don't bother. The handle is so nice; It feels luxurious, but strong in your hand. Carrying the case with the guitar inside is a comfortable task. Finally, the pocket. Not much to say, but it is fairly large. compared to a Gibson case. Overall, four stars. Docking off one for the latches and lock. Otherwise, a very good case for the price.

You won't fully understand just how amazing these little patch cables are until you use them as a replacement to the patch cables you took out of the jar at your local music shop. One word to describe it: discreet, and in every sense of the word. It's designed to just be a small anomaly on the side of your pedal that disappears, and reappears on the pedal next to it. If you're confused, just look at it. It's flattened so you can place your pedals at intimate distances. Because of this, the black cable is short enough to just bend below out of sight. In terms of sound and reliability, it's certainly not designed to be stretched, so I'd advise against doing so. Other than that, they retain the sound well enough. Fantastic product!

These types of earphones are really used for running and such, which is why I feel I made a terrible decision buying these. Well, here's what I have to say. It seems that these lack distinctly in mids. The sound is just a touch muffled, and it only make it worse that the design of the earbuds makes it difficult to position well. Besides the lack of mids, sound is alright. Nothing to write home about. For staying snug for a long time, I give it that. But for long periods of time, it really starts to hurt.

As my first amplifier, it is quite well made. The reverb sound fantastic, but the drive lacks a slight amount of tone. As a beginner amp, it does its job. Very clean, but too many effects will distort the signal heavily, which would not make it an ideal amp for gigs that require a more specialised sound.

Here's a somewhat long review. Fact is, It's a very accurate tuner housed in metal armour. The output acts like a killswitch, and the bypass makes it a regular tuner with no killings. You can do a few other settings, but I just use the chromatic tuner. Solid piece, and definitely worth your money, especially for newer guitarists. The clip-on's and box tuners are nice, but this one does it's job perfectly.

For an overdrive pedal, it's quite weak. nevertheless, this little pedal Is actually quite useful. I used to use it as a boost pedal as well as a sparkly drive, which did quite well for swift strumming. I still need to have the tone knob all the way up to satisfy my tastes, but otherwise, It's a very good pedal.

That's the only way I can describe it. Once upon a time, some guy thought it would be funny to get normal effects and then give them a bit of insanity, and not in a good way. I can't even put any depth or colour on the tremolo setting. Even the phaser would makes my guitar sound like I'm using overdrive. I've only used the tremolo because without any depth or colour, it has a Doors feel to it.

First time I got this, I was so happy to have a sort of delay pedal. Five minutes later, I'm wondering why this thing is stuck on slapback.... Sure, you can make some good sounds, but after a lot of tweaking, the only feasible setting is to set the mix and repeats all the way to make a sort of pseudo spring reverb.

When I was starting on the wee acoustic, this dinosaur kept me from sounding as terrible. While it cannot compare to the TU-2 that I now have, it was still a very useful tool. The only problem was I had no adapter, and I never had batteries, so that was annoying. But otherwise, it was a very reliable tuner.

Well, I figured that since its lived its miserable span of life up until maybe a month ago, it was time to write a review. From what I remember, you just need to treat this one right, and it will treat you right 80% of the time. The other 20% is due to obvious cons due to being a beginner guitar. The tuning was terrible at first, but it got a bit better over time. Electronics are sub-par, as expected. I hate that there was no pin on the neck, so I drilled one in. It only come with that strap thing that goes on the end of the neck. Sound wise, eh, I grew into it. It was reliable, got the job done, and it certainly love phosphor-bronze strings. It's a fair bit beat up and lasted around 15 years, the better half of which was spent in its case. This Yamaha met its end when the bridge decided to peel itself off. I'll burn the damn thing eventually.

A few cool things about this little Tele. Sure, it's a Squier, but it sure packs some tone. Never thought an HS design would be so useful to me. Bridge pickup is so damn hot and just a bit thin when playing clean, so it sounds best when distorted. Neck is lacking some middle, but still has a fantastic sound to it. The combination has to be my favourite. A good blend of the two pickups with just the right amount of "heat". Pretty light instrument, doesn't stay too well in tune, and aesthetics are lacking. Overall, good starter guitar.
