incredibly efficient sounds from the neck Guilmour Satriani Van Halen , excellent mappele neck

Very easy to play, neck is a little bit larger but sounds on this 24 frets mapple neck are very similar to a Stratocaster with Some good surprising details, my Fender Strat is from 59's and too heavy when I play it about 2 hours, (my neck hurts me), good sustain, very surprised, very light body, you don't get tired after one playing hour

Sounds completely crazy loud and British or American with differents tubes

You have 3 independent chanels with 120 w of power, and you can mix different tubes it is a lower price than a Boogie Mark xxx but for the price you get a pedalboard that lets you choose chanel 1/2/3 meaning Clean/Crunch/ Lead, without taking care of which tubes but sometimes, you an experience the changing with 6V6 KT66 EL34 EL84 ECC83 5881 6550 12AX7 12AT7 12AU7 bur but careful, to get right ones that really fits the amp because I'm sure there is a case where the amp will be damaged, and the result depends on the speakers you use, lower medium higher frequencies will be efficient only in the case where you have the right one that can traduce the frequency response of the tube you change

Mesa Boogie Mark V Head with 3 different chanels

The warmth of tubes, the quality of preamp and and powerfullness of the amp is the good thing that you get on Mesa Boogie, be carefull of what you do with cabinets impedance 16 / 8 or 4 or your amp can become out of service !!!!!! I also used my old but terror sounding MARK III always alive

Clean sounds very known from Fender

Just listen when you play riffs in rhythmic, or picking or anything else, you are always satisfied of the quality and response of every note sounding which is warm and round, no distortion, pure ..... electro acoustic or electric guitar even hollow body

Cheap but GREAT by the sound and playability, plus active electronics

Easy 24 frets playablility, great sound with single pickups a blender very efficient, and 2 Bass Treble boosters, active electronics try it on Orange Micro Terror ....... !!!!!

Very surpising instrument, a little bit like Italian mandolins and great projection

I play it in Irish folk music and it sounds loud even with or without microphone because of the thick round body, you can play solo with it, that kind of mandolin has it's place in classical / Celtic / Modern music, try it, I tested the power of projected sounds, and I had to put the SHURE SM 57 at more than half meter to loose 10 dB (only with the mandolin alone of course, you can't do this with bass,drums) but with another one nylon acoustic guitar , mandola, more, this was the loudest and clearest instrument from the three ones, don't put a piezzo pickup on it because the depth of the sound disappears, it seems like another instrument of another century but not the right one.

All the sound of VIVALDi or Celtic Music or Country, very powerful sound and awesome

I love the baroc music with lute clavicin and so on ........ unplugged, this little thing makes magical sounds, chords or detached notes make the sound more brilliant and attractive, it gives you ideas for creation ..................... when you plug it in a simple amp in clean Chanel without distortion of course, comp is possible, chorus,delay and reverb are welcome to create incredible textures without lost of the main thing PURE SOUND and the attack of percussion at one condition : to take right picks not to destroy the real sound of this mandoline

Thank's a lot to Fender

Very interesting instrument with unbelievable register of tones

I never heard this kind of resonance & a quality with same lute from the, handmade in China and used V centuries Before J.C, and nearly the same with some details like strings, there are plenty of technics you can learn from it, and very surprising. I play it with acoustic amp and a Shure SM57, the sound stay clean in the Carlbro Stingray Lead 150w only made with transistors, even at half position that means 75 w the power doesn't destroy the color of basic instrument. And with some delays / modulations / reverb you get great sounds. If you often practice it is like a little bass with little strings that plays higher frequencies. Used with filter and EQs you can change the resonance ...... and you get non existing acoustic sounds. Thank's to China for his great instruments ... mine was broken in 2 parts just between the wood nut and head during handling in China or before arriving in France .... I had to repair it myself with great care because at this place it is very delicate and you have more than 4 types of wood that you don't find in France. I play it easily with my own nails because very long, I practically never used picks / plectrums because the sound is altered at the attack. I'm like Mike Oldfield and a lot of musicians that don't need anything else than nails you feel all vibrations in your fingers .... tremolos are a little bit difficult at the beginning but with practice you can get very good technique. Normally Chinese musician have false nails glued a little on their nail to obtain their picking result. the great thing you must retain is that you have a lot of place between every steel string (no nylon) but you can quickly feel ill at ease and maladroit because of this great space like a bass at the beginning , tuners are not very precise and very archaic but it is what they only had at his old V century

ESP and ESP ........ what guitars they can't handmake ?

Good guitar with a so nice neck, it's a pleasure to play but when I am sit down, cose I play for 50 years and this guitar is louder than my 59's Stratocaster, great sustain and 2 volumes but 1 tone, but sounds great even on non tube amps, very affordable with no default, it is rings !

Very nice sounds, and simple with quality

If you want great sound of Big Stars like Jeff Beck don't search anymore, you've got it , this is the version 2 but not the least !!!

Surprizing pedal Fat and biting Sound

Never desapointed by Electronics Harmonics pedals , the only thing is that when you want to register your product the website doesn't want to work properly

Dunlop Crybaby : Like the name Great Pedal

Mine is from 1970, and still perfectly works thank's for this kind of TITANE quality, I prefer Mid range frequencies in that one ..this is the same as the VOX one of same years because only salers of VOX refused to sell it because VOX was not printed on the pedal ....... That's all folk's

You 're lookin after better sounds than Fender Stratocaster, so take it and see

Very easy to play , neck is a little bit larger but sounds on this 24 frets mapple neck are very similar to a Stratocaster with some good surprising details, my Fender Strat is from 59's and too heavy when I play it about 2 hours, (my neck hurts me), good sustain, very surprised, very light body, you don't get tired after one playing hour

Very efficient guitar easy to play with pleasure, perfect sound, thin neck, good sounds

This guitar is very playable ad it is a good surprise to hear the sound of its pickups don't say they're bad, take time to test and if you don't like , use parametric equalizer you 'll get even Mike Oldfield's biting and crying soundsn thank's to Jackson. Very light and very thin 24 frets neck. Good product indeed

Cheap price but GREAT by the sound and playability

Easy 24 frets playablility, great sound with single pickups a blender very efficient, and 2 Bass Treeble boosters

Very Nice sounds ...please try it .....

For people who don't like Ibanez, because of a lot of reasons , try this one, and you will be very surprised by the quality of all the pieces of wood, the perfect sound at every fret of the very thick and easily playable neck for experimented or beginners. The surprise comes from the very cool Tremolo that stays in tune without any lock-nut, sometimes you have to re-tune but you can play one to 5 tracks before retuning, better than some more expansive Fender. Try it and appreciate it's very clear sounds in the mid tones and its powerful humbucker

I love it, Vintage and so easy to play (This one is Extended set)

Great synth in music 's story. Sold in all the world at about than 30 billions. Easy to create sounds. one sequencer !!!!!! Old sounds but great sounds of basses and pianos. They were neither on 24 nor 32 bits but, very good and well thought strong machine for to cross time away ..... I always like the touch and after touch of this keyboard (same as the Yamaha DX7), so you can't fill board by playing and playing. Very hard built and you can still find cards for new samples. Thank's to Korg. Indeed

Vintage but powerfull and sounds of quality

KORG is and stays very great in musicians world, I began to play synth on a KORG M1 and was very surprised by the quality and easiness of use with an external sequencer. I still have it, a MUST in music 's story.This machine is completely MAD, because you have more than 550 ROM PCMs in 24 bits, but if you have a look in the documentation, you have on the AD model, banks RAM 1,RAM2,RAM3,ROM, CARD and you can plug your analog instruments like guitars in stereo or two different ones or different sources, it becomes NUMERIC and it is possible to mix them in the waves that is completely unbelievable, 50 performances / bank and 35 patches / bank, and 32 wave sequences / bank !!!!!! and when you create a performance you can get 8 patches in it, with some or all with wave sequences !!!!!!! You can color your sound with other input sounds or use it to color your guitar sound with effects and surrealistic but efficient sounds with different shapes and other cutoff and resonance filtering ......... I wrote several programs that never were written by anyone else, but anyway, you can mix your guitar sound in the stereo inputs and adjust the gain to blend it to other layered sound in a performance, that I recall 8 different in a patch, that can use 128 sequences of steps sequenced noises or sounds or drums, it was crazy in the 80's !!!!!! And the quality of the sounds are still actually usable !!!! Great machine, the screen can be updated by new one in blue color, better in the dark

Vintage replica but great satisfaction of brown sound with only one pickup and no tone nor selector

I've learnt to play all EVH greatest hits like Eruption, You really got me, and so on ...... plug it with a Wampler Pinnacle into an amp put a script phase MXR before or after your amp an just listen ........................... or buy a Marshall Plexi, or all Marshall series, or Peavey 5150, or New EVH amplifiers and you will be afraid of your own sounds crying out of speakers. My first cab was made by my own hands with 4 x Celestion Side Winder White Snake of 150 w each one ......... go away before becoming mad of this brown sound !!!!!! this one have the real WOLFGANG pick up and not fuck Chinese one copy, one tone and no volume ...The response of this pickup is very sensitive to the volume you adjust even at 1 or 2 power is already here .....

DKA for Dinkey Very easy to play 8 strings thick & large neck, try it and you will feel another emotions

Don't be afraid of this 8 strings guitar because it's easy to play on its very thin neck even quickly ! Something very interesting in this neck, ultra thin and easily playable even for neophyte or experimented, and pickups are quite powerful when used with amps like Mesa Boogie Dual or Tri Rectified and great cabs that sound. I recommend you to try it in in a store, with a Bass Amp and 4x10 or more 8x10 cabinet, just to realize the power of this kind of guitar in bass frequencies ... surprising !!!! Great job from Jackson on this thin neck reinforced with carbon fiber ! Something is very strange , I often listen to the noise of the strings across the neck, and you can hear the strings ringing very loud and with a sustain in the thin maple neck with its rosewood fret-board (dalbergia latifolia) (12"-16" radius, 24 jumbo frets, 673 mm scale)
