Pretty good for a non-USA Fender! I will be modding it to my liking, of course. :-)
Very well build stratocaster (Japan Custom Shop) with a special, non-standard appearance. Split Seymour Duncan elements, reversed headstock, golden hardware en glitter finish, Very heavy, outweighs a Les Paul! Only 450 built, so very rare. The electronics need modding (basically removing capacitors), Fender dropped the ball there. Without the mod, it's the worst strat you ever heard, with it one of the best ever build.

Very nice limited edition thinline. Satin black finish with gold hardware.
Not very well build, but fun to play. Bigsby was added later.
Since this is a very cheap guitar, the quality, sound and playability are quite amazing. I think it looks good too! I changed the humbucker to a Seymour Duncan JB SH-4, but for most people the stock pickup will do fine. It even comes with a coil split switch.
This is a very well build guitar that sounds pretty good out of the box. It's so cheap you won't believe it.
I wasn't too happy with the sound and bought some Burstbucker pick-up's for it. I was unpleasantly surprised by the electronics. Rather than traditional wiring, it has a circuit board which requires special connectors on the pick-up's. I removed the board and replaced it with traditional wiring (with some orange drop capacitors) and put in the Burstbuckers. Added locking nuts while I was at it. Now it sounds great! Love how light it is compared to a standard Les Paul.

Amplifiers 14

A really nice looking amp with a great tone. That is, if you hook it to a 12" speaker cabinet, the original 10" Alnico speaker sounds harsh and distorted. It's very small and lightweight. I replaced the 10" Jensen speaker with a 12" Celestion Seventy 80 budget speaker. I had to cut some wood on the inside to make it fit, but I ended up with a totally different amp. Sounds great now! I replaced the Celestion Seventy 80 with a Celestion Vintage 30 and it sounds even better now (bit heavier though).
Great little power amp that goes straight into a cabinet or to the Front of House. It is in my bag to use as a spare in case my tube amp malfunctions at a gig.

The Strum Buddy houses a 6-watt amplifier powered by an internal lithium ion rechargeable battery, along with a 40mm neodymium magnet speaker in an ABS plastic enclosure the size of a tennis ball. It has a flexible rubber suction cup at the bottom to easily mount it onto your guitar’s top, where it remains firmly in place. What’s important is the Strum Buddy is safe to use on any top—even guitars with nitrocellulose finishes. The Strum Buddy features three DSP guitar effect presets for distortion, reverb and chorus, which are accessed via push buttons that can be turned on/off individually and combined.

I really like the form factor, it does not consume half of my pedalboard, yet has a lot of functionality and 6 loops. 4 mono loops and 2 stereo loops, plus 1 volume loop Changeable loop order per each preset 2 Buffers, Input and Movable buffers 2 internal unity mixers/volume-controllers (Parallel, Carry Over routings or Volume Conrol) 641 preset memory locations 160 banks of 4 presets, plus a Global Preset 2 function control switches (Latched / Reverse Latched / Momentary / Tempo Sync) Mute and Click-Less functions Song and Set mode Create up to 480 songs Organized the 480 songs in to 60 sets of 48 songs 12 MIDI messages (PC, CC and Note) each preset 4 MIDI messages (PC, CC and Note) each switch 4 Audio actions each IA switch MIDI Time Clock or Alaog Tempo out for TAP-TEMPO One expression pedal port (global / per preset) 2 lines x 16 characters LCD display with blue backlight Easily copy presets, banks, songs and sets Easily name presets and songs Heavy-duty footswitches Powered by 9VDC(center negative) 200mA Dimensions : 320(W) x 96(D) x 68(H) mm 12.6(W) x 3.8(D) x 2.7(H) inches Weight : 1,130g / 2.5lbs
Small, very readable (even on a dark stage), accurate and tunes all six strings simultaneously. I have one in every guitar case, for the events that I don't play through my own pedal board.
Best tuner i.m.o. Would give it 5 stars if there was a mini-version. Tuners should not take up so much space!
As good as his big brother, but half the size. Gotta love it.
I used noise gates before, the TC Electronic Sentry being the best. But this thing actually filters out noise without loss of tone, instead of just gating.
Vox V847 Wah pedaal met Griffin Effects modification kits. V847 Wah Q Control Mod Kit Adds a knob to control the vocal quality. This allows you to reach more McCoy vocals and is good for controlling your wah when it gets out of hand when using gain pedals. V847 Wah Sweep Switch Mod Kit A switch to add more bass to the sweep of your wah so you don't loose the bottom end anymore. This is great for bass players also. V847 Wah True Bypass Mod Kit True bypass and a 5mm LED. No more loss of tone or guessing if your pedal is on or off.
Overdrive based on the Klon circuit. I use it for mainly clean boost, to drive the amp to the breakup point.
Nice overdrive, a bit harsh to my taste. Supposedly an Analog Man King of Tone killer. But owning them both I must say they sound quite different.
A great sounding pedal. I own most of the best overdrive pedals and compared them all. The King of Tone is staying on my pedalboard. Personally I like the boost and overdrive settings best.
Instant talent booster. Half of Analogman's famous King of Tone.

Bass Guitars 2

Very cheap bass. But it stays in tune and does not sound too bad. Mine is cream colored with gold hardware.
Sounds good, both electric and acoustic.

Music Accessories 24

Lots of tone and output, still has the twang.
I replaced the N3 noiseless pickups on my American DeLuxe Telecaster with these babies. Great investment! No longer the ice pick treble on the bridge pickup and a lot more dynamics. I take a little bit of noise any time before dead and flat sounding noiseless pups.
I use this to turn pages of setlists, using OnSong on an iPad. Nice upgrade from previous Airturn versions. The main advantages are 9 volts power (instead of the 5 volts USB connector on previous versions) and it no longer disables the keypad of an iPad while in use.
Good pageturner. I use it with the OnSong app on an Apple iPad. Very customizable. Fixed rechargeable batteries (charge through USB connector) that last for days of use. The only disadvantage is that it takes over the bluetooth keyboard function. So when you want to make notes or changes, you have to switch off the pageturner to get you iPad keyboard back Having a 9V adapter to attach it to a pedalboard power supply would be nice.
19" soft case rack, only 1U high. Ideal for in-ear transmitters. Room for receivers, cables, etc.
Does the job, Easy to operate, quick changes.
It does the job. I have these both for electric and acoustic guitars. You can tell the difference by the top 'curl'. If it is open, it's for acoustic.
Great. Robust, easy to adjust and stays in place.
It keeps the feedback away without loosing all of the acoustic sound.

Microphones 3

A microphone to build in your amp's speaker cabinet. Easy to install, no more mike stands in front of your cab!

Other Gear 13

I've used the 'normal' Relay G10 for years, but it was never really meant to be on a pedalboard. Had to customize it to accept 9 volts. But this version has it all! Finally...
Very good, but for some reason Line 6 gave it a very weak 5 Volt USB connector instead of a standard and sturdy 9 Volt DC connector. That means you can't use it on a standard pedal board power supply without modifying it.
Good clear sound, very reliable, easy setup. Just pay attention to which version you buy, There are different versions for different frequencies. Check which frequency is legal/available where you gig.
Great sound, reliable, easy setup. Stereo or mono mode. Jus be sure you select a model with the available/legal frequency where you gig.
Tried them as in ear monitors for guitar and vocals in a live band. I only got harsh high and mid-high sounds out of them. Makes me wonder if they are d.o.a. or supposed to be this crappy... Gave it one star for nice fit and non-tangling silicone cable.

Great little amp. Nice sounding reverb and the morphing between British and American mode is a nice touch. A lot of amp tha coes very cheap!
I use this one for a bit more high gain overdrive, compared to the King of Tone or de Klon. Nice warm, creamy overdrive, but a bit noisy,
Considering that this is an extremely cheap pedal, it actually doesn't sound too bad. Mounted on a pedalboard it does not play nice with other pedals and the power supply. Depending on the pedals you combine it with, it becomes a terrible tone and volume drain.
