Just Uke It.
A treasured birthday gift that has given me hours of pleasure in the scant few days since I got it. I love it, happy music all day on this little treasure.

No Kidding
This is not a high quality stuck up mandolin, and I am not a high quality stuck up player so it works for me. It tunes very well and holds it decently. The electronics work fine and the frets were made fine with a bit of file work. It plays good enough for me to join in at the camp fire sing along or the seniors jam. Plus the heritage that it represents, a history of great music behind this little guy.

Dad's
I inherited this guitar from my Dad when he passed away. The action is fine, the tone is fine, the tuners are garbage. I plan to swap them out this winter and will post an update when that happens. It played country western and gospel music in my Dad's hands for many years and I am sure that it will keep doing just that.

Lightburst Quilted Leaf Top
I have had this guitar for many years now and have not grown weary of it. It is advertised as a jack of all trades guitar and it lives up to that title. I play mostly pop rock and some country and this guitar can do it all. From a low growl on the tail humbucker for House of the Rising Sun to a soaring solo using just the center single coil. Built Canadian solid and it can take our winters too, the tuners hold amazingly well considering the floating bridge for the tremolo bar that I never use or even put in. A good strong finish on the body that is only now starting to show the buckle rash and pick scratches. Solid, dependable and versatile; ingredients for a great guitar.

Favourite
This is my go to pedal. It is easily my favourite for just jamming around, having fun on the guitar. I play an Epiphone Sheraton II Pro through this and the world goes around and all is well. Good solid construction, the small upper pedal can be tricky to foot switch but I don't do that much. When I get it dialed in I just leave it there and jam. Love it.

Cruchy
It growls and barks; it takes stomps, it works hard and never takes a day off. Who could ask for more? It is my go to for cranking the knobs all the way to the right, all of them; and then shredding. It is the heavy metal, grunge, headbanger pedal on the floor.

OK but..
For the price and size, this is a good little practice amp but, I find it lacking. It doesn't have a lot of punch and I suppose I shouldn't expect it from such a small amp but it just doesn't sound right. I have had Orange, Fender, and Crate of the same size and this just lacks the depth but still makes it on the list as a good portable, small practice amp; just don't expect a big sound.

Think Big!
The main reason I got this tuner was for the big display. I'm getting a bit older and I like the large easy to read display. It is well built and has never given me any problems. Thumbs up for this one.

Only you.
This is the only chorus I have ever owned so I don't have anything to compare it to. It does a great job so I never had to look for another one. I have messed with the buttons over the years and used several different guitars and amps and various pedalboard configurations and it's all good. A great hard working well-built pedal.

A very versatile pedal that does a decent job at emulating the vintage amp sound. I use it mostly with pop rock of the 50's and 60's, it doesn't really have a hard rock edge in my humble opinion. It does what it was made to do and does that very well.

60's Vibe
I actually won this at the Edmonton Guitar show and when I got home I fell in love with the sound as soon as I plugged it in. I really like the Epiphone Sheraton Pro through this pedal. I also have a Godin Sdxt but it didn't have the same effect. A vintage Kent from 1964 also made this pedal sing. We have used it in both a tube amp and a solid state and they both sound good.

This Guitar...
I love this guitar. It rocks, it rolls and it gets a jazz groove going too. The switchable pickups are amazing: I can switch from a bluesy growl to a sweet 60's pop vibe at the push or pull of a button. The action is great, I do have to have it reset as factory wasn't perfect for me but it wasn't a mess either. I just like a bit lower than what it came with. The tuners are rock solid.

Great Performer
I love this guitar, it is a good all around performer. Solid build, good tuners (they hold very well), and easy to use electronics. The action was perfect out of the factory and the frets didn't need any work. The candy apple looks good, I like red anyhow and it has aged nicely showing love marks but not bad. Nothing bad to say about it actually, I have owned several acoustics and this is a keeper.
