與今天的大多數得起吉他走出韓國和墨西哥,我很驚訝地看到一些新的競爭,來自厄瓜多爾。製造商,美國鮑勃傅高,還擁有錄音棚和唱片公司在基多,厄瓜多爾首都。

傅 的產品線包括低音,電聲,電古典與固體電吉他。模型測試,我被電經典( 262美元離岸價格,從厄瓜多爾) ,其中有一個黑色玻璃背部及膠合板一頂。頂部也可在雲杉。扮演鼓掌吉他設計相似,在過去,我是不是太樂觀的語調繼續生存。不過,我感到驚喜,在熱情的語調 說出來,吉他,甚至同層頂部。傅聲稱採用更淺的設計和薄,手制玻璃殼允許一個極為豐富的語調。我猜想固體雲杉頂部將更加美好。纖維回薄體,使吉他很輕,平 衡和舒適舉行。由於其大小,色調和重量,我看這是一個很好的吉他myspace 。
傅電古典吉他

我很喜歡,感覺和可玩性的19 -頸部頭疼了,從厄瓜多爾cedro硬木。吉姆洛高球賽使用和脖子就檢討模型聲調完美。行動是在中期及播放友好的。偉力蟎韓國調諧足球場舉行得很好。

影 子壓電皮卡是裝在大橋及連線是一個影子p4的4波段均衡器。 The 9-volt battery pack and EQ are side-mounted and easily accessible.音量,低音,中,高和亮度控制通過調整滑塊,滑塊情商是拘禁中心。也有一個輕型電池和反反饋開關。吉他聽起來很聯合國壓電喜歡當插 入一個amp和全套議長。電子給予了很大的靈活性語調和音量。

其中的抱怨,我曾與吉他是內部佈線,是有點長,往往左右搖鈴內結。我 跟製造商約,並聲明他,他們去嘗試重視電線一種方式,並不會影響共鳴。另一個問題是,洛被削減有點長戳透過漆在兩側頸部。這引起了冒泡的收分,其中剝離容 易。這給人們留下了鮮明年底的煩惱吊出。製造商意識到這一問題,並與未來的型號將縮減到適合的編曲。

如果這些問題可以解決的話,吉他獲得優良成績,是一個容易發揮,好漂亮,容易移動的工具。




雅馬哈llx - 500c露天聲/電氣剖吉他,是一個創業的聲學/電吉他和應從認真任何演員看吉他,在其2,399美元或更高的價格幅度。

特點

雅馬哈llx - 500c露天手工建成雅馬哈日本的"風俗店"工廠。其特點包括了堅實雲杉頂部,桃花心木,頸部和固體花梨木回和側面。 20手指頭疼局烏梅是與母親的微妙-雪花珍珠鑲嵌在通常顯品位。

雅馬哈llx - 500c露天聲/電吉他

在頭頸部結精美,是由原先在ivoroid約束力,雅馬哈名義箱是母親-珍珠鑲嵌。有一個鮑魚鑲嵌裝飾環城聲洞,身體結了色澤。該感到"薄" ,頸部有锍整理。

不同於許多電動聲,雅馬哈llx500c的雙方不是固體層。雅馬哈安裝層壓木支架周圍內置式前置保持固區強大到足以抵擋結構方面施加壓力,但其餘的方木料是固體。

與25.6英寸的規模,雅馬哈llx - 500c露天標準是賈巴爾大小,除為剖,即容易許可證chording多達十四煩惱。結了鍍金,雅馬哈調諧機器有絲毛順利易風。該大橋烏梅包含一個標準的塑膠鞍。

下馬鞍是一個壓電皮卡是有線一個供電系統45麥克風前置/均衡模塊上的"肩"的吉他。除了以壓電皮卡,有一個小型鵝展開駐極體話筒放置在soundhole 。該鵝是隸屬該前置/均衡模塊。

兩個麥克風,可混紡或放置列-階段(消除反饋也許) ,使大量的調整範圍。更健全的輪廓,鵝頸話筒,可以輕鬆向移動,即使加上串結。電池都有自己的方式車廂,分別從前置/均衡模塊。

內,建築質量高,但也有一些馬虎點膠水。另一個缺點是由於為半英寸差距雲杉背勁材料和塊基地的吉他。該縫材料是紅木。

捷按鈕在該基地的llx - 500c露天雙打作為傑克為鍋底儀表線。並無其他錶帶按鈕,所以我一桿,以皮帶頭,由螺母。

結了薄,透明膠pickguard ,這是一個設計,我很喜歡。輕弦衡量供應了吉他。該llx - 500c露天配備有限終身保修。一個案件沒有提供這項審查單位。

聽力

聲音雅馬哈llx - 500c露天相當均衡脆上訴,並確定在高端和豐富的低音,預計良好。用皮帶或平衡對我的膝蓋,吉他感覺舒服和自然舉行

聲音的llx - 500c露天的,至少弦樂供應結工作,最好彈,平採摘和帶領玩。這是一個有點過於呆板手指採摘我的味道,但這樣可能很容易被治愈光明一套字符串。

堵塞在一個良好的制度健全, llx - 500c露天可以調整用於任何類型的聲音。據易得清脆聲音,而手指採摘,範圍調整為電動皮卡車非常出色。我寧願組合均壓電和鵝集,然後降低高端面板的壓電皮卡與電路板上的均衡。偶集提供了無數聲組合的可能性。

行動對吉他我審查是很好。我可以彈奏吉他硬,手指在弦上任意點頸部無熱鬧。
綜述

雅馬哈llx - 500c露天,是一個高質量,實木聲/電氣容易可玩性和全面,均衡的聲音。靈活前置/均衡模塊使得塑造健全和從容進行反饋容易的。

如果你是一個活躍的舞台表演, llx - 500c露天,是一種聲電不容忽視-相比,甚至更昂貴的機型。它可以提供美麗,豐富和靈魂,質量聲以及良好堵塞的聲音。

雅馬哈蛋白原- 5.02吉他

紅木吉他了回來近年來。早在年初的20世紀,馬丁的桃花心木音響效果非常流行-尤其是在較小的尺寸。但雲杉積雲dreadnought聲學起飛,在1930和1940年代,因為他們有能力填補更大的生活環境中的聲音音量。

儘管如此,桃花心木一直認為播放/歌手/歌曲溫暖,非常適合剛剛坐在周圍玩。今天,固體桃花心木型號有來自各種公司,包括車禍,馬丁,泰勒現在雅馬哈與其799美元fg502m 。

特點

$ 799纖維蛋白原- 5.02的頸部,頂部,背部及雙方構建堅實桃花心木。 20煩惱4,2指定花梨木,但黑暗是尋找-更像烏梅。

與25.6英寸的範圍內,纖維蛋白原的雅馬哈- 5.02標準dreadnought大小。結了鉻整機是封閉式,但已過時的風格大按鍵,昔日的。平原紅木橋塑料鞍採用標準的塑料腳掌握不清。

吉他幾乎是在緊縮其缺乏裝飾。該纖維蛋白原- 5.02了锍整理(不高光澤這裡) ,並超越簡單的編曲dot標記,沒有什麼花俏其外觀。

"雅馬哈"的名字,裝修就頭股票和裝飾戒指周圍聲洞都貼花,沒有引起足夠的關注。結合各地機構平原黑色塑料具有有點微妙詳述那裡會見頂部。塑料pickguard對纖維蛋白原- 5.02是一個雅緻龜設計。

木材品質用在纖維蛋白原- 5.02 ,是一流的,與糧食,是直和清潔。有趣的是,這個雅馬哈吉他用途雲杉縫重視雙方的背部和頂部;大多數吉他用雪松縫。

我的測試樣品,建設整潔是有點假雅馬哈通常無可挑剔台灣廠工作的小缺口,在縫在兩側尾塊,而有些膠水明顯一直縫。同時,纖維蛋白原- 5.02 ,我檢討抵達失踪螺絲從它的一個調諧器。

該纖維蛋白原- 5.02賣店與案外( 129元) 。吉他配備有限終身保修。

聽力

根據我的經驗,雅馬哈下的800元雲杉頂部/花梨木機構和雲杉的頂部/桃花心木體雅馬哈吉他有脆,年年徘徊健全,一些高低音,那是不夠舒適

其固體紅木建造,纖維蛋白原- 5.02有脆和定義,但補充溫暖放在底部。中低音更加突出,給它溫暖,舒適彈聲。嚴禁低價,锍整理允許,我相信,身體共鳴以上重型光澤盪五月當今低價位音響。與雅馬哈肯定有很好的共振,很多下千元吉他不有。

該纖維蛋白原- 5.02很好正要任何類型的遊戲,我扔了它。我去了,從手指到採摘彈,而這吉他保持其定義,但隨著宣判溫暖的低音。中型及重型復甦,硬彈,你得到了更多的壓縮聲音。這絕對不止是一個歌手/播放吉他小車位。它沒有明確的清潔彈奏時難。

吉他的行動是無低的聲響和頸部感到舒服。語調死就通過第十二煩惱。吉他,因為大部分yamahas我發揮,始終停留在調。

潔淨,溫馨優質的纖維蛋白原- 5.02的聲音也碰上在錄音。我用動態心指出,軍事工業約四吋起來,從頸部聲洞錄獨特的聲音這個結。

因為更突出低音中,那些使用較厚復甦和重弦樂可能會推出過低音得到清潔彈奏聲。這是非常明快時,用薄復甦和磷青銅輕或特輕弦。

Guitars

自1950年代以來,會館曾被譽為補聲和archtop吉他製造商,排名在那裡同馬丁和吉布森。

直到2000年,該會館建在西風,羅德島。但母公司動議護舷製造協會聲學和archtops其電暈,加州設施。

其中的旗艦型號,由新的生產成立,是重新f50r珍寶。

特點

新f50r ,售價為2499美元,是在原有基礎上新建的規格,從1960 - 1980 。珍寶是有點大於典型民俗dreadnought吉他橫跨較低一番吉他-一個夾腰部。以前的型號,被稱為jf65 ,同樣大小,但前面買了加厚

該樣本f50r我們測試建造精美-兩片雲杉固頂固花梨木方回來了,而且三件紅木頸部。背部和頸部載薄,樸素的木嵌,身體及頸部被裝飾的白色約束力。全程兩色腰帶。

該會館f50r功能烏梅編曲和花梨木的橋樑。頸部尺寸包括25.6吋及規模略有縮小,比正常的寬度為1.69英寸。該f50r並不缺乏精細的細節-和弦已醒目鮑魚和母親-明珠鑲嵌和兩名賽車棉衣,由螺母聲孔。

頸部是瘦身,幾乎像一個電吉他,它有一個鮮明的廣泛,淺踵而它重視身體。整體外觀整理-包括煙草皮膚頂-好,雖然檢討樣品進行了瀝青袋(深色現貨在雲杉)放在一個約半英寸,從橋。

其它特點包括龜殼pickguard及光滑的感覺,鍍金工作, grover調諧器。黑色塑料板包括桁桿調整板前排箱,吉他的序號是蓋章把球箱。

有關詳細內f50r非常好,但並非十全十美。與會者普遍乾淨,但我發現有些膠水污漬對花梨木的。什麼嚴重的。

由於這是一個珍寶,它是大約1.5英寸擴大在大布特比dreadnought 。它也是較重,由於廣泛使用花梨木和吉他的整體大尺寸。這是明顯加重持有比dreadnought ,但權衡的是量的增加。

該會館是f50r裝有中等超限會館品牌,磷青銅琴弦和它到達一個硬以及襯g及政案件。

試聽

由於低音的聲學吉他輻射從大布特,珍寶結有潛力深,豐富的低音。該會館f50r並不失望,在低音區域反應-它具有較強的低音,讓這個結一記響亮的,豐富的,總體基調。

三寶的範圍是不是一種可有可無的,不過。該協會有足夠的數量,尤其是當我彈奏和單位挑選我的薄意挑選。

它也是一個很好的吉他,手指採摘-級數開始在四弦低音降指出端起來一g弦-響起美妙深,流暢的低音。

對測試樣品時,頸部容易-玩很低的行動。這是一個好的感受的一個吉他。雖然行動雖低,有不尋常的黑夜,很容易對手指-即使中等超限弦樂團。

我的樣品,我注意到,鞍被切斷相當低,使低上述行動。然而,由此產生的副作用是不具有任何超出剃從鞍馬,以彌補增加頂部和頸部,最終結果重置大多數吉他聲。

另一個後果是低鞍部,是一個未經充分休息角比鞍,體積可減少。我們不能告訴,如果數量減少,因為我們沒有第二組比較。 f50r了,但當時很多聲音,因此,鞍低可能已經不具法律效力。
綜述
該會館f50r是絕對值得的會館血統。建設者在加州可能要花一點時間,終於得到所有細點完美,但f50r證明會館設計,是試圖真實-無論是對東部還是西部海岸。

雖然建手吉他通常十分昂貴,特別觸及個人在做工添加人物大多是失踪批量生產的音響效果。該lowden f35的核桃,售價為3925元,是一個特殊的吉他。

特點

lowden是吉他手所作喬治lowden的luthiers在貝爾法斯特北部,愛爾蘭。這些保費吉他有質量聲譽語調和建設材料。一些利弊發揮它們包括愛爾蘭歌手/作曲家理查德湯普森和車臣。

該lowden f35的核桃有幾個不同尋常的施工特點和許多優雅觸及的luthiers船。首先,形狀和大小,是所謂的"樂隊" 。它的大約同樣大小的一個dreadnought但腰部是一個較為夾和前排的肩膀更四捨五入。

而不是通常的固體雲杉頂部常常出現溢價音響效果, lowden f35的有雪松頂部,通常發現於古典吉他。此外,該區圍繞健全洞是加強與雪松,五角型,筋插入。

剛性支撐頂部是一個獨特的" ×五"型,這是說給吉他,其健全人格。電子牙套是沿下游布特。

核桃大橋大會是一個分裂的橋樑與兩個單獨的鞍座,一個高五和二串,另一個剩下的字符串。這使得更多的精確音準。弦樂透過山底大橋和正在舉行的由地方自己球結束,而不是由塑膠釘子是用來進行串最鋼弦聲。

一個墊片在內底鞍座,以方便易安裝的"舍曼"型皮卡。 ,是有預鑽孔,為電線和一個超大木製底腳具有適當孔徑擴為容易安裝結束引腳傑克。

兩側和後面的是f35的固體核桃。有美麗的嵌上背部,頂部和側面的吉他,包括交配完美結合木材周圍的頂部邊緣,微妙跗木嵌上背部和鮑魚環城增幅較大,比一般健全的漏洞。明確接後衛保護木材低於聲孔。

五片,核桃膠膜,頸部和中等高度煩惱都壓入一個黑暗烏梅編曲與25.5英寸的規模。該鍍金lowden調諧象grover有珍珠熒光塑料旋鈕。

該f35的核桃來到強硬以及軟墊中央社案件有lowden名字塑造成首位。

我查結徹底及其建設是無可挑剔。順利刷顯示,沒有證據顯示改變表面,在許多地方,有鑲嵌和路口之間的不同種類的木材。有沒有馬虎膠水,沒有稍微歪支撐並沒有表明lowden的代價這個好吉他以外的任何合理的。

聽力

這lowden特別設立了較高的行動比我用,並出具評估輕弦作了一段休息期間為舊手指。如果你有一個發揮老馬丁聲,然後你就可以想像行動的lowden 。 (據lowden ,高等行動有助於大膽預測聲音) 。
儘管手冊警告: "你接觸lowden經銷商諮詢弦樂最適合你的工具和風格發揮, "我決定給它串起來,與存在addario磷青銅燈外,以使其更易於對手指。

特燈和幾個晚上供試聽,我得出結論認為lowden f35的是一個最好的探空吉他聲,我聽說過!

這是一個響亮,清脆高音和中音與緊繃低端不設法使boomy與沉著。核桃和雪松結合,也給難以置信投影為一個非賈巴爾聲。

我不能把我的手落lowden一切我打得像是音樂,我的耳朵。該lowden甚至保持其脆,清潔無害,而fingerpicking裸露的手指。

由於其規模, lowden f35的舒適發揮站立以及坐下。簡單來說,皮帶就抽打到市區。

Although the expense of this guitar, may push owners not to play out with the Lowden F35, it certainly is no light weight when it comes to durability.此外,什麼是吉他,有些字商標。它會像你考慮到大眾方程式比賽,因為你怕臥底了荷花。

結論

我曾聽到很多關於lowden的聲譽和質量無可挑剔聲聲。後一玩,我衷心贊同。該f35的,是最優秀的聲學測,我都扮演。

你們這些靈巧的小手指,可能要確保行動是你的心意,然後購買。但如果是行動不是一個問題, lowden六- 35是值得的代價手制取。


至 於我審查的一個馬丁的新單保費爵士吉他,比照- 1 ,即'簡單'和'抗拒'來記。我看看它,有一個簡單的設計方法,這是難得的在今天的吉他。沒有花俏或嵌綁定-只是一個很好的轉接頭頂部,方回。真打是沒有 4,2嵌-剛方圓點。烏梅的橋樑,尾翼和pickguard是簡單優雅,並烏梅按鈕就它能校正機,使他們幾乎disappear.the irresistibility來到時,我的打法就若干單元,並發現比照- 1的聲音和可玩性身為真正職業球員和我一樣。

特點

碳 纖維- 1馬丁的第一archtop爵士吉他,在多年。設計由馬丁戴爾年逾unger和製作馬丁工廠在拿撒勒,賓夕法尼亞州,它的零售價為一個合理的4200美 元。碳纖維- 1是配備了天然金發完成或在皮膚和特點一層壓高山雲杉頂部;背面是構造層燃起楓樹和雙方固體楓樹。很舒服u形紅木集頸部功能1-3/4-inch排列寬度 在螺母和2-1/8-inch寬度12次煩惱。一個3英寸體體深度和14欄目中明確,我完全是在家這個爵士樂吉他。其它特點包括固體黑色烏梅足跟鴨舌帽, 固體pickguard烏梅,浮烏梅堅實橋樑。該尾翼也是固體烏梅。為了減少對聲音,肯特阿姆斯特朗浮動皮卡連接到頸部;它不觸及頂端。電線從皮卡直行到 貨量壺和最終傑克,而電纜插上只能有一個控制:接後衛裝貨量。任何語氣有微調要做經省級或舷外前置。

聽力

當我第 一次扮演這吉他,我完全印象。我起到了很大的爵士樂吉他,我另加30年的職業生涯中,實木否則,這個馬丁隊伍最多,有最好的。雖然頂部夾層,語氣清晰和充 滿活力與巨大的投影。電動基調詳細,友好和熟悉。熟悉來自我經常玩吉他與肯特阿姆斯特朗浮動皮卡。他們有一個溫暖的,平衡的基調是理想幾乎任何爵士樂風 格。肯特我一直'走'傢伙幾個尋常皮卡要求,在過去,並不斷他的高水準,這與吉他等。

之前寫這篇檢討,我扮演三個活劇與比照1 ,每十分不同,很發人深省。首先是獨奏演唱那裡,我曾遇到一些困難與擴增。後一點商議後,我決定發揮演唱無安培。並非經常一把吉他,尤其是同一個層頂部, 是夠自己發揮整體計畫無任何擴增,但比照- 1做了罰款。後來,我做了四方演唱與吉他和年逾議員doug正確的。議員doug扮演一個特製的,全實木戴爾ungerseven弦,優美的巧合,我們的 目的。馬丁多舉行自己的,並融合兩者文書是了不起。因為浮動皮卡和敞開聲的cf - 1 ,吉他可以更容易反饋,所以我沒有曲柄省級一切方式。對於那些想性格的cf - 1 ,但更多的數量,比照馬丁- 2兩西摩鄧肯拾音器拾音器安裝在頂部。這些類型的吉他往往不太容易反饋比爵士吉他與浮動皮卡。

最後,我扮演的cf 1音樂廳設置二人表現與阿里ryerson ,著名長笛我玩幾年。在此演唱,我覺得比照- 1的可靠語調都走到頸部是一個稀罕了爵士吉他(或大多數任何修飾吉他) 。 ialso留意到聲聲音是十分豐富,特別是這個大廳。總之,吉他表演優美。馬丁比照- 1是一個偉大的吉他教室。我推薦兩&二鉀(現政治部)冷凝器心-一個旨在第十二屆煩惱來自約1 2英寸,一是在同一距離下的f孔。完成灌漿計劃,堵塞結到一個小管放大器和話筒與紐曼tlm103 。我唯一的改變,我會作出的cf - 1是一個音調控制。而我愛的純潔只是一鍋,現實世界中,有時需要一個多音的靈活性。我很左結存量形式審查期間,但我曾嘗試一些不同的弦,更換安裝輕爵士樂 串一套一輪傷口0.012 ' s 』從全球統一。全球統一弦樂,使電動強音,但馬丁弦樂聽起來好一點的時候玩的cf 1聲。對我來說,這種變化是不是一個壞的權衡,因為我玩幾乎同一個放大器。

馬丁j-40/d-40聲吉他。

標準40個系列馬丁提供音響組合經典與現代特色溢價兩個風格:屏幕尺寸殲40和dreadnought ,四- 40 。兩者售價3350元

特點

j型40馬丁的流行採取珍寶。吉他的背部和雙方固體花梨木,頂部是固體雲杉。背面條紋字是鑲嵌。

四馬丁-馬丁40殲40

吉他的特點,手刻,髻x線支撐,剪接設計,可追溯到火紅。 (不過,吉他沒有得到戰前設計,遠期移支,是一英寸從soundhole 。這一特點是預留給hd28v ,四- 18v的,四- 41和其他高端型號) 。

40系列soundhole是裝飾著無數件左右鮑魚體soundhole 。一個一塊紅木頸部, 25.4英寸規模,是裝有烏梅編曲與鮑魚六角形鑲嵌-很好。箱是壓紋與20世紀初的風格,垂直紙張馬丁標識,與鮑魚,反而較小橫向信後來吉他。該調諧器是 黃金包覆gotohs而大橋是烏梅。 j型40配備馬丁中等藻+青銅弦樂團。

j型40是不是一樣大,是不是一樣大,或厚,為吉布森的j 200珍寶,但較低布特措施16英寸。人體有一個腰夾相比,一dreadnought 。這使其更加舒適。

為d - 40都有相同的木桿,支撐裝飾鑲嵌,調諧器和頸部,但在dreadnought大小。它具有較廣泛的腰部比珍寶和略小底部布特。

建設完善,既j以及d.進制下降過剩膠內,而行動是夠低,介質不殺我的手指。這些藻馬丁+弦樂,隨著塗料,使他們新鮮,是因為約般好,我聽到從這一類的字符串。

無論是吉他完畢天然光澤和他們同來的保費馬丁難案件。

聽力

為d - 40和殲40也有類似聲波特徵-他們是公開,嘹亮,激越一個良好的低音,往往缺乏在今天的許多吉他聲,但也有一定差異,因為不同的形狀。

j型40是較為均衡吉他;其夾腰降低低音花開應更符合高音。吉他,有一個親密的語氣說fingerstyle採摘會喜歡,但就是好聽甲狀腺腫等。因為夾在 腰部,硬彈過去soundhole創建一個更重低音,那麼簡潔性,大大降低玩耍時,中間的橋樑和soundhole 。

為d - 40是一個響亮吉他,是較適合的節奏和大膽採摘,如早熟禾和民俗。更令人沉重的低音比殲40 。因此,三寶明顯降低,似乎在比較。儘管如此,它是一種全譜dreadnought能充大房間,它有頂底尤其是當你重放從soundhole 。

聲音:我 發揮最堅硬岩石和金屬,而這吉他是一個完美的比賽。我用它與馬歇爾初帶領800安培系列,我用這個踏板,為家鄉際聲波失真,六線crunchtone ,並rocktron白銀龍失真/超速。它絕對是一個好對手堅硬岩石和金屬播放,因為它可以給你的那些重型搖滾聽起來似乎很多吉他手尋找。它有一個非常健 全的全部,也可以給你那些高尖叫來得心應手,在高速金屬切碎獨奏。 / / 9

takamine表示an10吉他

該takamine表示an10是一種最好的購買,全部實木dreadnought吉他與光明的聲音擅長於手指採摘和錄音。

事實上,吉他shockinglygood ,考慮到其879元的報價-向前移,髻支,全部實木建設與手配合銜接頸部關節。取得了換takamine表示hardcase是一種額外的100元。

這項檢討是為聲an10只;還有一個電氣化,剖版本, ean10c 。

特點

an10的是一個優美作了結顯示了很多注意細節。我們的樣本所得manufacturerwas幾乎完美無缺。

第一醒目的事對takamine表示an10就是回到了堅實雪松反而更為常見的雲杉。糧食雪松是一種清潔,無斑點或瑕疵。木材是通過吸引力自然刷,也有助於其響亮和公開聲音。

該an10的紅木橋鞍座分裂; b股和高電子串是一個小鞍,其餘包串超過對方。我見過這種橋之前,而只是較為昂貴吉他。

除了分裂鞍,弦樂是經由年底大橋不是被裝下來的橋樑和頂部。這座橋的設計是說謹頂部較弦通過體大橋,造成了響亮,聲音投射,是確實如此。

花環圍繞健全孔是木材,並有類似木材詳述各地體結。身體是約束品位象牙塑料具有約束力。

兩側,背部和頸部的an10製成固體桃花心木,這是緞染紅色的顏色。建築材料和質量的an10都是一流的。雙piecemahogany回了一個非常薄的象牙前瞻性地帶之間對開。

吉他的頸部是25.5英寸的規模是1.69英寸寬,在螺母。頸部是突破與花梨木編曲。平穩感覺,黃金畫,調試機器pearloid ,塑料旋鈕。他們像花兒調諧器。該an10來自工廠排列非常明亮動聽,存在addario法律程序輕軌弦(更於稍後) 。

內,結體清潔和詳細。頂部是支髻提供既響亮和更深健全。我檢查an10仔細檢查鏡子印象,在缺乏有形和膠水在外觀和建設質量。

聽力

玩an10是一種喜悅與低其行動和薄,快速頸部。與光明存在addario法律程序弦樂團, fingerpicking製作一個愉快和美好的語調充滿低音中那些違背弦之間。

因為分裂橋配置,我看到差距串連之間的b和g的字符串。由松弦張力與調諧器,我能夠滑弦沿鞍,讓他們更加均勻間隔。還有,空間之間的字符串是有點多,我習慣了,我花了約30分鐘的比賽之前,我的手指正視擊中弦樂那裡我預料。

該an10聽起來很好彈,但我接薄帶出這一切吉他的亮度。我的品味,它太亮與德阿addario法律程序弦樂團。一套馬丁青銅燈沙場出聲音,使它更加平衡,但充沛量對頂部和底部。

用雪松最高,但最高數量來迅速。如果你提出了一個額外的硬彈琴, an10根本不給予額外的比特量,但這種壓縮聲音。這不是泥濘,它只是將得不到任何聲音。因此,這個結是不適合硬蘭草或其他節奏彈。

an10的,但一個優秀的吉他手指採摘和民俗和國彈。它alsois理想記錄。用大隔板項目演播室麥克風和親前置,重放聽起來像是一個昂貴得多,高端,雪松結頂,如lowden 。錄音fingerpicked曲調,就an10非常乾淨。

唯一負面,我覺得是次要。該刷產生更多的噪聲處理時,結體滑坡反對我的襯衣。這是很容易拾起工作室話筒,其中只有6-8厘米。一把吉他與光澤整理,使減少噪音處理。
簽名版吉他成本通常比標準模式,他們是基於,但有時增強功能,使它們值得額外雄鹿。該emmylou哈里斯左旋200簽名吉他的人之一就是物有所值-值得的。
特點

基 於小版的大男孩的客機, j型200 , emmylou哈里斯簽署是一個全固體木吉他曲楓樹頸部,背部和側面和高檔雲杉頂部。 The guitar contains a Shertler Bluestick saddle pickup and a compact preamp with hole-mounted volume control.
該emmylou哈里斯左旋200

該24/3/4-inch規模頸部,一11/16th-inch螺母寬度,體育的一個和弦紅木裝飾件壩頂設計的母親明珠。箱和身體約束與ivoroid約束力,並pickguard是裝飾一新藤花設計模式。

該鍍金,古董式克盧松調諧是格調尋找與其鬱金香塑料鑰匙。吉布森的磷青銅輕衡量字符串附在人體經吉布森髭大橋,是由紅木和體育兩個花式磚母親-珍珠近其回。

得到一個大試探一個小吉他,吉布森利用釀酒髻支撐,一英寸從聲孔。本支風格,讓高層振動更自由-高產更好的低音和高音。

吉他的建設與優秀只是一對夫婦的膠水明顯下降內soundbox 。該前置裝背面的內-兩個手錶大小的圓電池,只能更換時,去除串。該前置杭絲自由地根據自己的鞍目的地。該end-pin/cord連接金屬。
聽力

楓樹體吉他並不總是我的一杯茶,聲說話,但我真的喜歡emmylou哈里斯左旋200 。即使吉布森送我的吉他,僅一個月之後,它已經被組裝,曬乾,並成立,它聽起來非常正確出來的情況!

它可以彈奏權威的,但從來沒有失去其弦的決議。其平衡中檔和高音了錯綜複雜的手指或採摘彈明確國家與民間的節奏和弦。在身高比正常品位(相比之下,我國四馬丁- 35 )更容易發揮-即使不完全是低行動。

大客機常常覺得,那麼大的。同拿身體縮小變幻, emmylou哈里斯左旋200輕型感覺是舒適和持有發揮-站立或坐下。雖然是小於j型200或大會館珍寶,吉他,還有很多聲音。和音來自各地的頂部-不是狹隘投影聽到小吉他聲。

聲,我錄吉布森與土方簡- 71儀表麥克風,錄音碰到那樣大的全尺寸吉他,我手頭上作比較。作為與大吉他,我曾馴服一些低音效果接近我的馬基攪拌機的低切濾波器,但最後的結果是一個頂尖的錄音。大節奏。

堵,吉他的聲學特性分別轉達了相當有說服力。副鞍普給予刺激存在,但並不健全薄通過放大器或混頻器。這是一個吉他聽起來很好堵塞或聲。雖然沒有對董事會前置情商,我很喜歡的聲音作為。
結論

吉布森的emmylou哈里斯版左旋200是一種最好買吉他。其施工質量,平衡甜健全,堵塞與否,我不想將它放下。同一群吉他作檢討,我不停接一本。

在3300美元的零售價,是不聰明的改變(約2300美元-2 400美元,對街) ,但這個結是值得的。

吉布森輔導保羅工作室加上電吉他

在吉布森輔導保羅工作室已問世約20年。它旨在提供玩家吉他輔導保羅聲音較輕體重較輕的代價。該模型也迴避了正常花式上衣,約束力和顏色較昂貴的毒素。


保羅輔導工作室另加



平原阿珍輔導保羅工作室然而今天,現已在"附加"版本,是因為漂亮,因為任何輔導保羅。經過多年作為小弟弟,以輔導保羅標準,新的輔導保羅工作室加( 2695元零售)獲得作出以上具高檔提花楓樹頂,黃金硬件,經典克盧松調諧器。

特點

輔 導保羅加上工作室是由一個專責,固體桃花心木與兩片帳面相符, aa級楓樹頂部。我的樣品來到一個美麗的沙漠皮膚充滿火焰楓樹示通過。頂部似乎少厚比頂部刻,我就1998年輔導保羅水準,並沒有任何團體或頸部有約束 力。 But to my eye, those omissions do not take away from the eye-pleasing appearance.

結了24.75英寸規模, 22 -苦惱與頸部典型吉布森梯形鑲嵌。感覺很相似,但同少周長,目前輔導保羅標準頸部。頭股票是裝飾用鍍金克盧松釀酒風格調諧器,並在17度頭部存量角度確保臭名昭著輔導保羅維持的。

除了黃金klusons ,其他鍍金硬件包括調鄰馬泰橋樑,停止桿尾翼,吉布森的498大橋89-96 490r和頸部89-96 ,選擇開關,皮帶架子量和聲調盆(黑色的"速度"旋鈕) 。該膿-這經常被稱為血小板樣外端和輸出標準來對許多包括吉他輔導保羅標準。

工作室包括加同樣高品質的情況吉布森說,標準的船舶。跨國紅色選項也是供結。

聽力

吉他來到吉布森.09 ---. 42串,並迅速轉為.10 46 ---.大小弦樂團,其中有我個人的最愛。成立出色從工廠語調與死亡-即使弦變化。我當時公告說, "二"字符串鞍不安時,我執意要說明這個字符串。我把螺絲數轉,然後調整音調。花照顧鬆散的春天。

我 扮演輔導保羅工作室加上通過1966豪華混響, 1999擋泥板孿生混響補發,馬歇爾jcm2000 dsl201和固態豪華擋泥板90 。通過各省級吉他是純吉布森的語調。聽起來像一個輔導保羅,但性格略暗。聲,我的輔導保羅標準吊環更三寶,因為較厚的楓樹頂部。輔導保羅工作室plus是 更桃花心木測熱烈壓縮音-大電力和弦及頸部浦爵士樂打點。優秀維持一樣好,我的標準。

這一切吉布森輔導保羅聲音來自一個大大的結打火機比我的標準-這是一條鯨魚從體重。工作室plus是這麼容易發揮銀根時,你周圍的頸部。這是一個輔導保羅小傢伙能夠發揮。一個告誡:吉他重量仍足以折斷過陡斜頭股票,如果它落在一個硬表面。它保留的情況或鎖在一個立場。

我沒有投訴工作室加。我唯一會改變都是膿。我喜歡498分之490膿,但我喜歡經典加57/57膿多一點點的清潔工作。他們不太夏普中端。

結論

吉布森的鄉親感到很興奮推出這項新產品,並以正確的。在吉布森輔導保羅工作室plus是一個很大89-96吉他!它更輕,更便宜,好像是地價輔導保羅了殺手的感覺。什麼你想呢?

The New Les Paul Standard

吉布森最近推出的更新和改進版的法師, 50歲的保羅輔導-新的輔導保羅標準。
新的輔導保羅標準

新的標準,價格從3074元到3306元-取決於收,是近一個五十年代末的爆裂吉布森作為了標準生產自h alcyon天5 0年代後期。該儀器具有較小的葡萄狀peghead ,克盧松梯形調諧器,並為您罐愛好者,原尺寸,小結合,在剖。

版本吉布森寄給我了機管局級,火焰楓樹頂,使我很好的方式再現的感覺,外觀和vibe的舊輔導保羅。

但等待,還有更多。吉布森也安裝了新的"爆裂鬥"皮卡,其中專題磁鋼5磁體和交錯繞組每個線圈為一個更加開放,艾里,釀酒語氣比舊標準的490r 498t和拾音器。

頸部輪廓有兩種形態: " 50發, "我覺得拿比1958年至1959年的歷史(雖然不是很大) ,並拿1960錐形輪廓。聲譽,以吉布森為使最後兩頸部形狀可於同一模式。

終點就檢討文書美麗-漂亮,溫馨櫻桃皮膚似乎有變尼斯就是否正確進行的情況。頂部是完全提花輕度提示深三維火焰沒有楓樹-類固醇的火焰在這裡。我也欣賞高雅輕描淡寫其尋找;我喜歡吉他,像是吉他而不是華爾街辦公室鑲板。

新的標準版本與半透明整理,機管局火焰楓樹頂不具備的吸引力,他們隱藏在接後衛。如果你想要它(包括pickguard位於如此) ,它已被安裝。只有烏梅模型特徵安裝pickguard 。

正如所有吉布森美國模式,是完成老式硝化棉,並一去不復返了嗎唇膏紅銅色生動黃河近期吉利盪。色彩在這裡都淡化尋找溫暖和感性;你想發揮它只是純粹的古典美。

為什麼我妄語這麼多?好,因為之前現在,唯一獲得這個備受vibe ,準確性和聲調在輔導保羅意味著大幅袋澳'現金歷史性系列罐,或主要繼承或彩券盈餘為原來毛主席'鬥配備輔導保羅。我讚揚吉布森的決定提供上述理想特徵較為得起罐標準。

聽力

我扮演新的輔導保羅過去幾個星期在各種場合與不同放大器;我留下了深刻印象。

玩罐通過競標1967馬歇爾50瓦頭,它是非常即時六十年代英國藍調大師的語調。頸部皮卡被脂肪和滋潤,而大橋皮卡了高音明亮清晰的定義和通風。

通過1956花呢擋泥板窄親事務文書"德州音城"發諧波和無情三寶磨碎清晰-而不燥陶瓷拾音器。該磁鋼五爆裂buckers真正交付貨物。

最後,通過梅薩boogie三重整流頭馬歇爾裁剪這件事必大的時候。頸部皮卡是一個稍混濁,這與安培,但語氣鉛從大橋皮卡是殺手緊,有重點,並明確界定。

結論

如果你已經持有回來買一份製作輔導保羅因為粘感覺脖子過於炎熱皮卡(典型例子) ,你應該為自己進行校驗, 2002年新標準。是否可以從一個染- -羊毛,古董吉他扇這一新的岩石吉他!

Gibson LC-3 Caldera Acoustic Guitar

令人驚奇的,我認為一個小吉他一樣吉布森立法-3爾德拉能聽起來像是一個大結。信用證- 3 ,一剖聲電吉他,將出人意料地與你的質量和數量,其穩健,是很容易好的溢價dreadnaughts我發揮。

具有堅實雪松頂部和側面製成固體koa木材生長在山坡下面的夏威夷火山(火山) ,吉布森立法-3爾德拉一種韻味格調溫暖和亮度,在一個易以持有的方案。

特點

信用證- 3 ,零售價格為4100美元,是一個規模吉布森所稱的"先進左旋00 "組織,它是小於賈巴爾。 20煩惱頸部有典型吉布森規模24.75英寸規模中,約有三種少於許多dreadnaughts 。

吉他的身體是由koa木材,是一種優質紅木一個更引人注目的糧食。吉布森的支撐特別是前進和轉向髻,有助於較小規模得到很大完善。

兩件回來了豐富多彩下來嵌中心與整個吉他裁剪在象牙塑料具有約束力。環鮑魚是用來裝飾音洞。

橋樑和編曲製成烏梅,以及單件紅木頸部有"秋葉子"鮑魚鑲嵌在典型煩惱。 (還有一個嵌於第一煩惱) 。大橋一種形狀須吉布森說,所謂的"雕塑" 。

根據鞍信用證-3是一種schertler bluestick壓電皮卡,然後連接到一個小前展開安培內結。小貨車的數量控制是從旋鈕即巧妙地擺放在邊緣聲孔。捷按鈕底部結雙打作為零售傑克為電子。

國內展開預放大器有兩個按鈕式電池只能取代去除字符串;有沒有均衡調整這個皮卡。

似乎很多昂貴吉他使用開放調諧器和吉布森立法-3也不例外。該鍍金二類調諧工作順利。箱是吉布森的標準17度角,這使得為保持一流。

吉他的單件紅木頸部有1.69英寸寬的典型dreadnaughts和頸部的桁桿調整是從下一個可拆卸的塑料板箱。吉布森是指以頸部為"易行動" ,它當然是頸部,很容易發揮。

所有的細節,這是吉他優美做的。內結,施工則是一個完美的例子之一年逾工藝的,沒有明顯的膠水水珠一個沒有過多的差距,在割。

吉他船舶與吉布森的"疏水性"衡量輕青銅弦(拒腐蝕優於非塗佈字符串)和一個非常粗壯,長毛絨內襯將軍澳線的情況。吉他是受終生保修。

聽力

我是一個平均大小的傢伙,我很欣賞一把吉他是

小於賈巴爾,尤其是如果我身高和玩90分鐘。信用證- 3是一個非常舒適的吉他持有和發揮,其重量輕,小,井型和身體完全安裝頸部。

在24.75英寸的規模使得它只是一個簡單一點,我達成某些債券上訴手指挑選低音運行,為例子。另一面,這就是距離洛是一個稍少於我用,它有時是一個小難填滿我所有發手指進入太空。如果你是一個小的人,手指微(女,也許? )這吉他是正確的大小為您。

該剖讓我在以後的和弦第十二煩惱。我有一個calypso riff ,我的角色。它涉及扮演一個四弦14次煩惱。這是沒有問題的吉布森立法-3 ;在快速運動,我也要做起來,減少其頸部容易與吉他的短期規模和出色的行動。

雖然尺寸小於標準賈巴爾,完善的立法-3會使你認為相反。我發揮它並排同

充分健全地價賈巴爾吉他,而他們敲響不同,但都十分匹配,在計算容積和低音。

信用證-3也有優勢,在三寶,以明晰使這一完美結手指採摘和帶領玩。尤其,高串了可喜的,現在質量鐘聲,我聯想到最佳吉他聲。

信用證-3也吹響不錯堵塞,但亮度雪松,將尼斯有一點情商對董事會馴服高端每筆增強電氣化。

從人體工學,音量控制背後真相邊緣聲持十分方便,但干擾。你很難知道這是一個電聲。

綜述

吉布森的立法-3爾德拉的施工質量和材料都精通,而且發揮和聽起來保費吉他,它是。

尤其是,立法-3是一種性能優良的結,以小尺寸和舒適的感覺,

你可以扮演數小時而不疲勞。結合koa和雪松作禮物,但溫暖的聲音,使立法-3多才多藝幾乎任何類型的比賽。看這水聲在我們2003年的"最佳"提名。

Gibson ES-137 Semi-Hollow Archtop Guitar

在九十年代初,吉布森介紹貿發- 135半中空,夾層楓樹吉他。吉他基本上是一個雙皮卡版1960 archtop展覽- 125 florentine剖和trapeze尾片。

標準皮卡被噪音抵消版本磷- 90 (後者æ57拾音器) ,但篇幅135æs最大的不同,從原來的展覽- 125是維持中心座下橋;它使結更高,加上固體持續性。

成 衣在孟菲斯展覽- 137在這裡回顧( 1,599元零售) ,是下一代的es - 135結。測試是在這裡幹- 137經典雙humbucking拾音器。還有其他兩個模型;這是一中兄弟。地價模型提供æ57經典磁鋼二皮卡和varitone控制。便宜137查獲拾 音器,並沒有約束力。

137系列仍然是同樣大小的135 ( 2英寸厚16英寸寬體) 。身體不過,有一個新的組成部分,其3層施工;楊樹現在加入兩片楓樹。走的是與trapeze尾片,取而代之的是一個調子- oæmatic大橋停止尾片。中心塊,現在是紅木,而非溫和balsa木( chromyte ) 135 。這種大,更難座允許使用調子- oæmatic橋系統。

吉他來幾個顏色;我的測試單元是一個突出的皮膚。吉他措施, 16英寸寬和體育傳統吉布森的f孔。頸部是剪接24.75英寸規模,並已輔導保羅形箱。示範貼花地處之間的鑰匙,其中有grover基石。

頸部包含梯形塊和新月鑲嵌在第十二屆煩惱。頸部和身體勢必白色,單鋪設塑料。正如所有受難,漆是老式的硝化棉。苦惱身高中等。

電子產品包括頂裝布特選擇開關,一橋498 89-96 / 490r頸部89-96回升格局,並單獨語調和音量控制每個皮卡。

聽力

貿發-137配備.10 ---. 046英寸弦,但我改變了一套.11 ---. 050英寸的弦樂團。我的口味,較大的弦振動頂部更好板吉他。

一 旦叮更換了,我調起來和發揮貿發-137經典經過幾放大器包括一個新的吉布森鎵15rvt上訴a級,推拉23 84管供電安培看起來就像是一個丟回給五十年代初吉布森安培。我也採樣吉他通過1971 silverface普林斯頓混響, æ66擋泥板接到豪華混響,換發擋泥板æ65孿生混響,方式和冷槽管靈魂æo三極管單二合一。扔在徑向tonebone失真踏板,為露天的鬼話。

與所有省級, 137響起印象;它更加維持和折斷,以動態比135 。走的是135æs微trapeze的尾巴一塊驅使我堅果。它更注重個性,吉他是適合幾乎任何東西:爵士樂的funky節奏,硬搖滾的overdrive曲調或孫紀錄巴掌回線索。

翻蓋方就是保持較大塊和楊樹的部分身體動作過數聲遠離篇幅135æs更多hollowbody性格接近快,精簡固身體無害。不過,這是好的;它聽起來仍大於一335 。我認為,這是一個兩岸之間輔導保羅和釀酒吉布森空心薄壁組織。

由程,吉布森重點工作,完善與吉布森橋硬件;這個結總是停留在調。即使低行動,動感幾乎不存在。

只有壞處,與137年490r 89-96 ,吹響有點混濁。我不能得到一樣三寶出它作為我聽到皮卡輸出137s等。磁極片調整,只能做這麼多高端。我覺得這是特別皮卡。
綜述

吉布森的展覽- 137電動,半archtop空心吉他,是一個明確的改善貿發- 135 。它的多功能性已增加,並在1599美元,這是一個價值領導人爵士樂,搖滾樂和國家拾垃圾,要建成一個基調,但與現代感和維持。個人,我喜歡它比一個展覽- 335 。

Fender Deluxe Nashville Power Telecaster

美元899.99擋泥板豪華納什維爾電力遙是一個令人印象深刻的變化尊者組委會,以特色吸引了各種各樣的參與者和風格。而真正傲視不過,是作為現場演奏吉他。憑藉其獨特交融皮卡靈活性,納什維爾電力電信是全合一,以結對階段。

特點

墨西哥建造的,擋泥板納什維爾電力組委會是一個良好的發結。該機構阿爾德體育傳統遠程形狀與串通過體和美國標準鞍座。有別於傳統的電視台,但它有三個電吉他拾音器像衣,特-墨西哥開始回升,在中心位置,並特-墨西哥遠程皮卡為頸部和橋樑。

擋泥板豪華納什維爾電力遙

另外還有一個很大的不同:納什維爾電力遠程也有舍曼電力遙橋與舍曼皮卡以上每鞍-剔除聲從九個總皮卡!許多音樂家喜歡聽的聲音是電吉他,這是經常發生重大變化,通過傳統的磁回升。該壓電展現更多的是一個電動的天然ringiness 。

5位皮卡選擇開關用來選擇結合標準的電吉他拾音器,就像一個開端。開關錶盤在以下方面:大橋皮卡只,橋樑和皮卡中心皮卡,皮卡中心只,中心皮卡和皮卡頸部,頸部和皮卡。不同於普通電視台,但納什維爾電力遠程不能結合的橋樑和頸部頸部皮卡車。

舍曼的橋樑聲皮卡都有自己的音量控制,因此可以結合其他組合皮卡選擇,或利用自己作為一個放大的"聲"吉他。該音調控制只會影響正常的皮卡。聲皮卡的產量和正常拾音器的輸出可以分別辦理不同的放大器,立體聲放大器或混頻兩個渠道根本堵在提供電纜。

審查樣品的單件楓樹頸部來到了花梨木編曲。該調諧器是傳統的風格相反的擋泥板/ schallers ,用於對美國標準組委會(但結留在調子不錯) 。吉他是與排列0.009至0.042弦樂團。雖然吉他的售價為900美元,只配備了演唱袋。我認為,應該用硬的情況。

聽力

納 什維爾電力遙是一個摘的喜悅-由於快速頸部和小弦,允許最大彎曲。您可以選擇和組合卡車不夠用聲波品種去見-從c himey大橋皮卡聲音充分,頸部皮卡大塊。納什維爾電力遠程可以讓球員正要任何電吉他聲。那麼,如果一首歌,呼喚聲吉他,剛輪換盆為舍曼皮卡,你有一個 合理的傳真一個"聲"吉他。我的電話是一個"聲"吉他與電的態度。

我扮演這個在吉他聲和俱樂部有一些相當有趣,看來是因為經典組委 會的外觀。當我開始玩,採摘等,在人群中開始放大,在我和擋泥板-讓我說: "什麼是地獄,他做的" ?斜視。一染- -羊毛吉他播放器,它借用他的一套。先生後, "我只扮演聲"讀完作品,他交結回,並說, "這是好的-它的不同,但它扮演好" 。

Fender American Series Double Fat Strat Hard Tail

2000年,尊者美國標準衣取代美國系列產品,提供了一些結構性,聲波和審美的改善。稍微少牙頸部,非單板突破機構,順暢煩惱邊和薄體整理帶來了更好的探測,更容易發揮和更釀酒開始尋找。

原大蘋果開始時,美國系列雙發開始硬尾模型試驗這裡( 1400美元與零售hardshell案件) ,是類似的三個單線圈皮卡系列美國開始硬尾,但已習慣西摩鄧肯拾音器一個"大"的基調。擋泥板,也提供了一個顫音版本相同拾音器。

特點

脂肪開始在我們的測試精選美麗,三色瑪瑙完畢阿爾德機構( 50元外)與花梨木頸部。楓樹董事會模式,可作為良好。該護舷schaller調諧器現錯開,即沒有必要為第二弦樂樹雜波起來頭股票。

Fender Cybertwin Guitar Amplifier

鑑於目前流行的數字化建模吉他放大器,似乎順理成章擋泥板將創造自己的安培與正版音傳奇管放大器,加上效果和靈活性的數字放大器技術。

進入cybertwin 。擋泥板的引人注目的新安培( 1699美元) ,利用數字化處理(和良好的ole '模擬經加工實質管) 。

特點

過程中,被稱為虛擬語氣插,是為了
再創整體特徵的一個安培,而不是採取一個快照像其他模擬放大器。

舉例來說,試想找到一個乾淨的聲音經典管組合式像擋泥板bassman對建模安培。如果把調高音量,你得到同樣的聲音乾淨,公正的呼聲。在現實不過,如果你把一個實際bassman ,獲得智慧作為管驅動更難在較高數量。

該cybertwin設計團隊的信條: "創新。不模仿。 "生下一個安培改變拓撲結構和元件值取決於選定的修補。它更像是一個以視頻經典安培,而不是一個快照。

放入這種設計罰款補專業特點-諸如2 05預設地點,電子管電路的m idi控制能力,對車載數字效果,壓縮,澆注,摩托類比式控制旋鈕,一個迴路的影響及提供s pdif數字輸出-你會得到什麼承諾,是一個強大的工具,為結嚴重。

用135瓦的功率(兩個65瓦電源放大器) ,以及兩個celestion g12t - 18.05 ,可以cybertwin曲柄起來的spls ,但它的重量十分合理的55磅-大大少於我的老"銀面臨的"雙混響,從1 970 。

聽力

作為一個擁有所有原1964擋泥板接到vibroverb (或許"聖杯"擋泥板放大器) ,我感到非常好奇,看看cybertwin曾提供關於經典擋泥板安培的聲音。我也有相當的經驗,採用模擬放大器,所以我很想看看擋泥板"棧" ,以其它放大器在體裁。

只要我發動起來,我的愛情與這個安培開始!立即發表恆星聽起來,他們很容易被調節的方式結會熟悉。

我 撥打了花呢bassman修補,並發現有多準確,它was.like老擋泥板放大器,音管制殺人數量時,把所有的方式下來。我也注意到, (這樣做我的鄰居) ,這聽起來修補大高音量。經cybertwin ,我國開始交付黑暗,低端衝頂端火花線史蒂夫沃恩的經典, "萊尼"
雖 然真正bassmans都是無混響, cybertwin克服了這一缺點。與點擊的效果踏板和自旋的混響旋鈕,燦爛混響可以聽到。與稍情商打磨,我已修補測太好了,我不想失去它。沒關係,我只 是擊中"保存"按鈕,並儲存在"運動員的休息室"一節。這是造福一個安培與記憶。

我檢查出其他補丁在cybertwin 。 " tremolux np的博物館"
有一個美麗的顫音效果看齊vibroverb我, "雙
廣州np的"補丁找不回回憶我的老雙混響。我沒與"德州律師室"補丁-一個偉大落淚的語調與混響小了,我開始哭弦工作。

然後是"沒有名字的街道上, "微平淡修補具有強烈迴聲約350ms和最小重複。 This was perfect for getting that classic 1980s U2 sound.

還有幾個補丁就cybertwin我不喜歡。 " smokin'intheboysroom ' , "舉例來說,就引起噸噪音和微反饋尖叫。事實上,幾個補丁了大量噪音,要求內部隔音門參與。一旦介入,噪音門帶來聽起來內可以容忍的限度。

而cybertwin是非常善於創造經典的擋泥板放大器和其他一些組合太,我不能撥打的"馬歇爾棧"的聲音,我很喜歡。我理應有一些聲音不能模仿與組合式。也許內閣充滿celestion匯率將使它更接近。新的版頭可以撥打它更好地與陪同封閉回二合一議長內閣。
結論

我很享受用cybertwin 。這是另一顆明珠擋泥板的冠罰款擴音機。這麼多安培的真正聲音和強大的影響,這是安培的首要人選工作專業-生活還是在工作室。

該cybertwin甚至會上訴到管安培單純,因為聽起來
準確不夠,你不需要向你耳昂貴古董管放大器列於道。

Eastman Strings Uptown AR810 Jazz Guitar

實木,手工製作,爵士吉他通常花費很多錢。上千萬元或更多一些。與伊士曼弦線手工archtops ,你實木,手工建造質量,為下2500美元。

該字符串伊士曼公司,已知其高品質的小提琴大價格,現在已經進入archtop吉他市場的幾種模式。這些手,製作中,中國吉他使用百分之百固體伍茲訴訟固體雲杉上衣和固體火焰楓機構。而且費用驚人2,000 -3 ,000元,視乎對模型。

特點

戈 登羅伯茨,伊士曼stringsæ營銷經理,寄給我的一個早期小區ar810電動剖型號,零售價格為2495元,與hardshell案件。吉他看起來相 似的一個類別benedetto單剖和烏梅回升防範單一浮動皮卡。束縛,三英寸厚, 17英寸寬體是由固體火焰楓樹,以及固體雲杉頂部包含經典的f孔完成ivoroid塑料具有約束力。單一剖,使之容易獲得上游區段。

25.5英寸規模頸部, 14品位明顯的身體,有一個烏梅編曲與中低煩惱。吸引力的,而大型傳統箱終止三件套楓樹脖子。該伊士曼線吉他都有17度角headstocks ,從而提高預測和維持。

我要指出的版本,我從伊士曼串了較厚頸部充分感受到比更新我的發揮,在最近冬季namm表演。新的感覺更像是一個典型的吉布森。螺帽寬度措施1 11/16th 。成衣在韓國瑞英調諧有經典,爆發,金屬調節旋鈕。非常酷。可調式桁架棒互聯箱。

伊士曼串拿出一個自己的小提琴製造技術結整理。而眾多的大衣漆,小區可以購買一隻手-申請,小提琴清漆,使木材最低保護外套,但提高woodæs語調。伊士曼stringsalso提供了硝化棉漆的選擇以及所採用的是較薄的外套,以最大限度地抑制聲

雖然許多海外archtop吉他往往是厚厚一層漆和裝飾,清漆小提琴小區有一個好的,有吸引力狹義來看,我覺得有吸引力。

電子很簡單。英國肯特郡警察局阿姆斯特朗迷你89-96浮動皮卡裝到烏梅接後衛,接近頸部如同大多數單一收件爵士吉他。電線下運行回升衛隊進入底部六洞,然後到金屬千斤頂底腳。唯一的控制是接後衛式,鍵盤控制音量。

浮動烏梅浮橋路線串到好聽干擾黃金尾巴畫一幅。體內,手工作,研究好,雪松縫細膠結置於過度膠水流失。

聽力

我首先聽取了ar810聲。同0.013 ---. 56 roundwound電動字符串,不插電聲透露緊繃低音具有突出中檔順利高音。 (放在一些青銅傷口聲弦樂,提高行動,而這吉他得到得到相當響亮) 。

圍頸部了一些習慣,但任何模式購買的,今天是頸部不太停止不使我的評論是一種頗具爭議。頭疼的工作是好的上訴無響訴訟及票據迴盪好聽死而不太快,這是個案,與許多疊層吉他。

當玩音響,低音不充分等archtops我曾嘗試。不過,吉他是全新的,出箱。過去幾個月中,低音開始增加。注意到華盛頓年逾和吉他建設者麥克鴿派人士成立初期eastmans說,低音不會達到最高,為一兩年,是的情況下,幾乎任何固體木吉他。

雖 然有些嚴重爵士樂播放,可懷疑國產, archtop吉他實際myspace或錄音,他們也不必擔心。插入一個安培, ar810釘,剪接archtop健全。為了得到客觀的閱讀對堵塞的聲音,我用了1965擋泥板孿生混響補發,灌漿,它具有高美元一雙工作室冷凝器話筒。 信號記錄了24位專業錄像機。

記錄顯示,一個非常經典的,熱烈的基調良好維持。挑選注意到了,恰到好處,甜蒙哥馬利環境衛生良好。爵士和弦,更標準的和弦,也有空氣的archtop豐滿,你donæt從電體。缺乏低音聲沒有事時,起到了重要作用。 (事實上。過多的低音,只有加反饋) 。

在評價期間,我不停theguitar皮卡貨量敞開來獲得正確的水平和語調。反過來下來太多,高端捲紙過水平下降。

如何反饋?我沒有留意到玩耍時,在前面的amp一個體面的水平,伊士曼小區將反饋容易。但很多archtops反饋。這其中並沒有任何反饋容易比我的風俗店吉布森l5ces 。爵士樂傢伙知道細微玩安培定位,以避免太多反饋。

我沒有什麼大批判的小區結。我的測試儀器進行了一些粗點的結合(但它只有一個步驟,從一個原型。最近的生產模式,我看過好看) 。一個炎熱皮卡或可調桿件在皮卡將尼斯得到多一點一級如果玩家想要提升行動。

Sunn T50C Guitar Amplifier Combo

傳奇sunn名字想起了圖像和伴音的印象,低音吉他和放大器的1960 。擋泥板最近恢復sunn名稱,而且該公司現在生產飾面探空二合一安培, 50瓦t50c 。

特點

售 價為1699美元, 6l6馬力t50c體育二合一主機的功能和高度的經典聲音。配備celestion g12 - 75 , 12英寸議長,是安培牙,重約75磅-甚至比重2 × 1 2"擋泥板孿生混響補發。很大一部分原因重量是大規模電力變壓器,也有助於健全。

省級配備兩個渠道:清潔的overdrive單獨低音,中和高音控制外出。該頻道的overdrive有增益和數量,而清潔通道設有透過單一控制音量。主混響和存在職能兩種渠道。電源開關/待命成立是有點不尋常;待命於前方,而電源開關的後背。

對背板, t50c體育的幾個特點,增加放大器的效用。一個特點是,我真的很喜歡的是低功率開關,降低了輸出功率為12瓦。這項功能可以讓您獲得高增益飽和的聲量較低(拯救你的耳朵) 。

一種簡便的效果迴路單獨通道1和通道2發送/返回允許使用踏板和機架的影響。主要安培出與外部放大器式千斤頂,讓安培將用於"菊花鏈" ,與其他放大器。

管 補包括兩名俄羅斯波特6l6gc輸出管,以及六項12ax7s和12at7在前置段。對於技術熟練,安培包含內置,管偏置/平衡調整電路。只是一個簡單的 電壓表,你可以調節平衡新型電力管-如果他們不匹配-調整偏見一旦匹配。管電路還包含一個輸出的"麻煩" ,導致天花的紅色,如果管失敗。總而言之,管偏置/餘額部分,是一個很好的感覺。

如果你想要更多的揚聲器音量,外部揚聲器插孔是供獨立的揚聲器櫃子-可調阻抗轉換為精確匹配4日, 8日或1 6歐姆揚聲器負載。

內,內部零件都奠定了對電腦板。我不相信電腦板裝吉他放大器都不亞於手有線放大器。像其他質量pc板放大器, sunn好聽的,並應可靠。

聽力

一 個安培成本1700美元應聲好,對不對?那麼, sunn t50c聲音很大。扮演美國標準擋泥板組委會通過清潔通道,使放大器進行了非常充分釀酒低音和中音只是色彩脆在三寶,禮貌的celestion 。混響是一種清潔和" fendery "無春" boinginess " 。清潔郊野採摘,微電腦和節奏發球會像調色板聲音,可從清潔通道。

該 頻道的overdrive是殺手與能力創造馬歇爾樣壓縮緊縮電力電線和釀酒的overdrive舊擋泥板安培。這是一個好overdrives我聽到一個 現代管放大器。與低功耗模式,使扭曲好得多玩耍時,在家裡或錄音。 sunn還提供了頭/議長內閣版本以及為幾個錢更多。

Traynor YCV40 Tube Guitar Amplifier Combo

從60年代初至70年代中期走強吉他和低音放大器管好價值,馬匹的工作,填補了許多俱樂部和音樂廳。經過多年的休眠,第四集的名字是與回線新的吉他放大器,提供相同的價值和表現,作為舊線。

耗資699 ycv40是首次進入復活第四集名稱,即製造,由加拿大安培/尼龍/議長公司歷史新高。該公司還生產80瓦,兩個議長安培以及頭/四聲道版本的內閣。

特點

ycv40的是一個40瓦管組合式與葡萄的外觀和聲音,但除了少數現代增強,使競爭與他人-甚至高於其階級。

組合開關包括清潔和失真渠道,混響,對環路和腳踏開關通道。管偏置是自動完成帶有內置式匹配電路。該頂置管制包括低音,高音,中端和音量控制每個通道

該超越了單獨的數量和增益旋鈕和按鈕,它需從藍調的overdrive重金屬領土。雙方分享渠道的存在和混響, (春季混響,感謝上帝)的管制。

其固體波羅的海樺木建設,安培重量為40磅。這是包裹在黑色吉他。保護特別設計的12英寸celestion發言的是一個燒烤似乎典型乍看之下。

該材料是一種典型的編織灰色的,但下面的材料是一種金屬穿孔格柵,以防止意外吉他透過-例行發言。

各管採用組合式五russian12ax7s和一雙俄製6l6s輸出。不像許多鋼管組合今天走強隱藏前置管帶有金屬外殼已被震得更換。電力管舉行地方春季僕從。

主電源開關,效果迴路和外部揚聲器插孔都回來;備用電源開關放在小組。

聽力

當我發射ycv40起來,我馬上知道這是一個贏家。堵在美國系列擋泥板組委會, ycv40了非常經典擋泥板安培性格。在清潔通道,認為高爐vibrolux跨過一個豪華的混響。

該混響有很多層面無太大boinginess春天,並當著添加低三寶火花無硬邊。

清潔通道,我的單位進行了較為鵝比我用來聽新管放大器;更符合舊管放大器同年齡碳電阻。一個四季設計師告訴我認為清潔頻道不乏預增益前音量控制,以取得該古董壓縮豐富。

事實上,我試圖向低額鵝,以得到一個完全鵝無記錄我的爵士吉他,由代較低增益, 12au7管清潔通道電路;增益和鵝減少,但熱烈壓縮也消失;聽起來更好地12ax7和噪音。

利用遠程,擋泥板開始發及輔導保羅標準血小板57經典換發皮卡中,我發現畸變渠道很能幹。它聽起來不等全額管失真藍調一個體面,金屬年年緊縮的情況。

因為相對inexpense的ycv40 ,它是一個偉大的安培修改與配件。我又說了一套波特6l6gcs一個較為拳打在響亮數量,我安裝了一個釀酒議長,把它變成更釀酒擋泥板領土。聽起來十分出箱,但價格街允許少數雄鹿演員如理想。

我只nitpicks是金屬穿孔格柵,增加了一些體重,我的耳朵,有些低三寶peakiness使用時celestion議長。

最喜歡管放大器今天,電路板焊接波,而不是有線手。但應作為道路值得,因為任何競爭對手。其持久穩固的樺樹內閣和議長金屬烤架,這安培應該是一個很好的一個出租市場。

所 有吉他,我非常深刻的印象與輸出從安培。短徑信號和高端設計落網非常具有活力,熱情,但自然的聲音。動態單注彎對異地的人讓人驚訝!就像一個偉大的高保真 放大器,有一個準確的對戰就是缺少很多放大器。然而,它仍然有一個溫暖,它也很容易使聽。也許這是新建成的語氣球員正在尋找。

89-96動態顯示的方式更好地對對戰比大多數任何安培出來。無典型的壓縮技術,超深聲,我總是歸咎於輔導保羅拾音器。與對戰有公正的方式維和細微。該對戰聽起來就像好我的腰。那些熱情的爵士樂音,有,但更豐富和尺寸比不了我的孿生混響補發。

由途徑。我試著省級各管模式,並推薦部分三極管為遠程的單線圈和五模式為89-96吉他。

我 有一對夫婦的憤怒與安培。風機太吵為工作室;謝天謝地對戰增添/關閉開關。我知道增加冷卻會增加組件壽命(尤其是當運行管甲級) ,但我的耳朵聽,我還沒有見過範是不是至少有點嘈雜。我的其他申訴缺乏彈簧混響作為一種選擇。我知道春天是混響passé認為,在這個年齡數字,但我仍相 信這是最好的吉他,如果做得正確。
結論

3000美元,對戰基本是一個發於美國。高檔吉他安培二合一與高端,聽根源。聽到你的吉他動力學透過對戰'更公開聲應把此項安培可取工作室和居住等。如果你能負擔3,000元,你想知道的所有細微出你的電吉他,對戰基本大概是吉他安培給你。

Yamaha DG 80 210 Guitar Amp

1998年,雅馬哈推出dg系列吉他放大器。僅在過去兩年,該品牌提出了強烈的進入"數字建模"安培市場幾種模式。 dg系列組成的dg100 - 212 ( 100瓦和兩個12英寸發言) , dg80 - 210 ( 80瓦和2 10英寸發言) , dg80 - 112 ( 80瓦特和兩個12英寸講個別罩) ,並dg130小時( 130瓦和4月12日"講) 。

特點

我審查dg80 - 210人,其中有兩個年份celestion 30 10英寸揚聲器。省級有一個很好看的現代一條紅色小組,但仍保留了葡萄看整體。控制面板包括裝飾,輸出,碩士水平,增益,三個音的控制,存在和混響控制。 當預置的回憶, 10摩托旋鈕其實搬到設置。每個預置可通過回顧召回按鈕或可選的midi控制器。

省級科8開關:鉛1和2 ,驅動1和2 ,緊縮1和2 ,以及清潔1和2 。 These individually call up the various amp types.有三種暖季型探空混響(春季,音樂廳和板) , 3種效果(顫音,合唱和磁帶迴聲) 。模式功能讓您可以調整參數安培不管你是用在預設。它也可以讓你調整對許多參數,如顫音速度,合唱水平,磁帶回波時間。

該記憶開關zap公司將你的任何128預置那裡,你可以調節功能,你喜歡,然後儲存你的新聲。一個可選的midi控制器還能配置改變預置,數量和效果。後方小組議長模擬器產出的"聲音"聲線產出直接扮演成一個混合委員會。

對於那些只是要收集所有四個dg系列,你可以互換聽起來通過midi從一安培到另一個。有兩種投入(高和低阻抗)和一個效果發送/返回平衡控制。本品還具有延長揚聲器的輸出,使你可以棧'統高擇議長櫃子。

在使用

當我深入幹事80-210 ,我面臨著鑽頭一個學習曲線,我花了很多時間來經歷所有的128個非常有用的預置。然而,這種努力是值得的。聲音都是了不起!

超速的,扭曲,並導致聽起來是例外。雅馬哈閹明確可怕電動shaver失真,我聽到來自其他放大器。它是溫暖的需要時,通過削減只是適量的失真李建軍。

該顫音預置了了不起。設計委員會的研製者,這些組合的顫音,混響和扭曲應掌聲,聽起來是不是較頂端。另外,當我切換至預置,成交量相對平等的,不像其他吉他盒我已經用。

這安培給我這樣的性感混響,我沒有恐懼印刷他們的磁帶。我堵住了,我一開始就撐起了一個舒爾歌,補丁一個urei臘4 ,並開始錄音。當它來到混,我不後悔我的決定。錄吉他和氛圍敲響統一和有機-不喜歡結軌板效應。

綜述

這 是安培貼近熱情和充分安培管聲,我聽到從數字模擬處理器。該dg80的多姿多彩和聲音質量是很容易的價值1299元的報價。並在此剪切和粘貼的世界,任何 事情來挽救我從摔跤與stomp箱,電線及牆體疣是一個天賜良機。我開始覺得日子屈指可數我可靠孿生混響和鼠失真踏板。

Yamaha FG-502M Acoustic Guitar

Mahogany guitars have made a come back in recent years. Back in the early part of the 20th century, Martin's mahogany acoustics were very popular — especially in the smaller sizes. But the spruce-topped dreadnought acoustics took off in the 1930s and 1940s because of their ability to fill bigger live environments louder volume.

Still, mahogany has always had that player/singer/songwriter warmth that is great for just sitting around and playing. Today, solid mahogany models are available from a variety of companies including Carvin, Martin, Taylor and now Yamaha with its $799 FG502M.

Features

The $799 FG-502M's neck, top, back and sides are constructed from solid mahogany. The 20-fret fingerboard is specified as rosewood, but is darker looking — more like ebony.

With a 25.6-inch scale, the Yamaha FG-502M is standard dreadnought sized. The guitar has chrome tuning machines that are enclosed but have the old fashioned large style keys of yesteryear. The plain rosewood bridge with plastic saddle uses the standard plastic pins to hold in the strings.

The guitar is almost austere in its lack of embellishments. The FG-502M has a matte finish (no high gloss here) and, beyond simple fretboard dot markers, there is nothing fancy about its appearance.

The "Yamaha" name, the decoration on the head stock and the trim rings around the sound hole are all decals that do not attract much attention. The binding around the body is plain black plastic with a bit of subtle detailing where it meets the top. The plastic pickguard on the FG-502M is a tasteful tortoise shell design.

The wood quality used in the FG-502M is first rate, with grain that is straight and clean. Interestingly, this Yamaha guitar uses spruce kerfing to attach the sides to the back and top; most guitars use cedar kerfing.

On my test sample, construction tidiness was a bit off for Yamaha's usually impeccable Taiwan factory work.There were small gaps in the kerfing at either side of the tail block, and some glue was visible all along the kerfing. Also, the FG-502M that I reviewed arrived missing a screw from one of its tuners.

The FG-502M is sold in stores with the case extra ($129). The guitar comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

The Audition

In my experience, Yamaha's under $800 spruce top/rosewood body and spruce top/mahogany body Yamaha guitars have a crisp, mid-rangy sound, with some high bass, that is pleasant enough

With its solid mahogany construction, the FG-502M has some crispness and definition, but with added warmness on the bottom. The mid bass is more pronounced, giving it that warm, cozy strumming sound. The no-frills, matte finish allows, I believe, the body to resonate more than heavy gloss finishes of may of todays lower priced acoustics. And the Yamaha certainly has a nice resonance that many under $1,000 guitars don't have.

The FG-502M was good for just about any type of playing that I threw at it. I went from finger picking to strumming, and this guitar maintained its definition, but with the pronounced warm bass. With medium and heavy picks, hard strumming gets you a more compressed sound. This is definitely more of a singer/player guitar for small spaces. It does not articulates as clean when strummed hard.

The guitar's action was low without buzz and the neck felt comfortable. Intonation was dead on through the 12th fret. The guitar, as with most Yamahas I have played, always stayed in tune.

The clean, warm quality of the FG-502M’s sound also came across in recording. I used a dynamic cardioid mic pointed about four inches up the neck from the sound hole and recorded the distinctive sound of this guitar.

Because of the more pronounced mid bass, those who use thicker picks and heavier strings will probably have to roll off the bass to get a clean strummed sound. It is much crisper when using thin picks and phosphor bronze light or extra light strings.

The Yamaha LLX-500C acoustic/electric cutaway guitar, is a gem of an acoustic/electric guitar and should be looked at seriously by any performer looking at guitars in its $2,399 or higher price range.

Features

The Yamaha LLX-500C is hand built in Yamaha's Japan "custom shop" factory. Its features include a solid spruce top, mahogany neck, and solid rosewood back and sides. The 20-fret finger board is ebony with delicate mother-of-pearl snowflake inlays at the usually marked frets.

Yamaha LLX-500C Acoustic/Electric Guitar

The headstock and neck of the guitar are attractively trimmed in ivoroid binding, and the Yamaha name on the headstock is mother-of-pearl inlay. There is an abalone inlay trim ring around the sound hole, and the body of the guitar has a gloss finish. The pleasingly "thin" neck has a matte finish.

Unlike many acoustic electric, the Yamaha LLX500C's sides are solid instead of laminated. Yamaha installs a laminated wood brace around the built-in preamp to keep the solid area strong enough to withstand structural side pressure, but the rest of the side wood is solid.

With a 25.6-inch scale, the Yamaha LLX-500C is standard dreadnaught sized, except for the cutaway, that permits easy chording up to the 14th fret. The guitar has gold-plated, Yamaha tuning machines that are silky smooth and easy to wind. The ebony bridge contains a standard plastic saddle.

Underneath the saddle is a piezo pickup that is wired to a powered, System 45 mic preamp/equalizer module on the upper "shoulder" of the guitar. In addition to the piezo pickup, there is a mini-gooseneck mounted electret mic placed in the soundhole. The gooseneck is attached to the preamp/equalizer module.

The two microphones can be blended or placed out-of-phase (to eliminate feedback perhaps), giving a substantial amount of range adjustment. For even more sound contouring, the gooseneck mic can be easily repositioned, even with the strings on the guitar. The battery has its own side-mounted compartment, separate from the preamp/equalizer module.

Inside, the construction was of high quality, but there were some sloppy glue spots. Another demerit was given for the half-inch gap between the spruce back-stiffening material and the block at the base of the guitar. The kerfing material is mahogany.

The strap button at the base of the LLX-500C doubles as the jack for the 1/4-inch instrument cord. There was no other strap button, so I tied a strap to the head by the nut.

The guitar has a thin, clear plastic pickguard, which is a design that I like. Light gauge strings were supplied with the guitar. The LLX-500C comes with a limited lifetime warranty. A case was not supplied with this review unit.

The Audition

The acoustic sound of the Yamaha LLX-500C was well balanced ù crisp and defined at the high end and rich bass that projected well. Using the strap or balanced on my knee, the guitar felt comfortable and natural to hold

The acoustic sound of the LLX-500C, at least with the strings supplied with the guitar, worked best for strumming, flat-picking and lead playing. It was a bit too dull for finger picking for my taste, but this might easily be cured with a brighter set of strings.

Plugged in to a good sound system, the LLX-500C can be adjusted for any type of sound. It was easy to get crisp sound while finger picking, and the range of adjustment for the electric pickups is excellent. I preferred to mix both the piezo and gooseneck mics, and then reduce the high-end sizzle of the piezo pickup with the on-board equalizer. The dual mics offer countless sound combination possibilities.

The action on the guitar I reviewed was excellent. I could strum the guitar hard and finger chords at any point on the neck without buzzing.
Summary

The Yamaha LLX-500C is a high-quality, solid wood acoustic/electric with easy playability and a full, balanced sound. The flexible preamp/equalizer module makes shaping the sound and notching out feedback easy.

If you are an active stage performer, the LLX-500C is an acoustic-electric that should not be overlooked -- even compared to more expensive models. It can deliver the beauty, richness and soul of a quality acoustic as well as a good plugged-in sound.

Vogel Electro-Classical Guitar

With most of today's affordable guitars coming out of Korea and Mexico, I was surprised to see some new competition from Ecuador. The manufacturer, American Bob Vogel, also owns a recording studio and record label in Quito, the capital of Ecuador.

The Vogel product line includes bass, electro-acoustic, electro-classical and solid body electric guitars. The model I tested was the Electro-classical ($262 FOB from Ecuador) which has a black fiberglass back and a plywood top. The top is also available in Spruce. Having played Ovation guitars of similar design in the past I wasn't too optimistic about the tone of the Vogel. However I was pleasantly surprised at the warm tone that came out of the guitar, even with the laminated top. Vogel claims that using a more shallow design and a thinner, hand-made fiberglass shell allows for a much richer tone. I would imagine the solid spruce top would be even better. The fiberglass back and thin body makes the guitar very light, well balanced and comfortable to hold. Because of its size, tone and weight, I could see this being a good gigging guitar.

Vogel Electro-Classical Guitar

I liked the feel and playability of the 19-fret neck made from Ecuadorian Cedro hardwood. Jim Dunlop frets are used and the neck on the review model was intonated perfectly. The action is in the medium range and player friendly. The Mighty Mite Korean tuners held pitch very well.

The Shadow piezo pickup is mounted in the bridge and is wired to a Shadow P4 4-band equalizer. The 9-volt battery pack and EQ are side-mounted and easily accessible. The volume, bass, mid, high and brightness controls are adjusted via sliders, the EQ sliders are center detented. There is also a battery light and an anti-feedback switch. The guitar sounded very un-piezo like when plugged into an amp and full range speaker. The electronics give a lot of flexibility of tone and volume.

One of the gripes I had with the guitar is that the internal wiring is a bit long and tends to rattle around inside the guitar. I talked with the manufacturer about it and he stated they were going to try to attach the wires in a way that wouldn't affect resonance. Another problem is that the frets were cut a bit long and poked through the lacquer at the sides of the neck. This caused a bubbling of the finish at those points, which peeled off easily. This left the sharp end of the fret hanging out. The manufacturer was aware of this problem as well and future models will be cut to fit within the fretboard.

If these problems can be addressed then the guitar gets an excellent score for being an easy to play, good sounding and easily transportable instrument.

Takamine AN10 Acoustic Guitar

The Takamine AN10 is a best buy, all solid wood dreadnought acoustic guitar with a bright sound that excels at finger picking and recording.

In fact, the guitar is shockinglygood, considering its $879 list price - with forward-shifted, scalloped bracing, all solid wood construction and hand-fit dovetail neck joint. A made-for-Takamine hardcase is an extra $100.

This review is for the acoustic-only AN10; there is also an electrified, cutaway version, the EAN10C.

Features

The AN10 is a beautifully made guitar that shows a lot of attention to detail. Our sample obtained from the manufacturerwas virtually flawless.

The first striking thing about the Takamine AN10 is that the top is made of solid cedar instead of the much more common spruce. The grain of the cedar is clean, with no spots or blemishes. The wood is attractive through the natural satin finish, which also contributes to its loud and open sound.

The AN10's rosewood bridge has split saddles; the B and high E strings are on one small saddle, and the remaining strings wrap over the other. I have seen this type of bridge before but only on more expensive guitars.

In addition to the split saddle, the strings are routed through the end of the bridge instead of being fitted down through the bridge and top. This bridge design is said to move the top more than the string-through-body bridge, resulting in a louder, projecting sound, which is indeed the case.

The rosette around the sound hole is made of wood, and there is similar wood detailing around the body of the guitar. The body is bound in a tasteful ivory plastic binding.

The sides, back and neck of the AN10 are made from solid mahogany, which is satin-stained a reddish color. The construction materials and quality of the AN10 are first rate. The two-piecemahogany back has a very thin ivory-looking strip between the halves.

The guitar's neck is 25.5-inch in scale and is 1.69 inches wide at the nut. The neck is topped with a rosewood fretboard. The smooth-feeling, gold-painted,tuning machines have pearloid, plastic knobs. They look like Gotoh tuners. The AN10 comes from the factory strung with very bright-sounding, D'Addario EXP light-gauge strings (more on that later).

Inside, the guitar body was clean and well detailed. The top bracing is scalloped to provide both louder and deeper sound. I examined the AN10 carefully with an inspection mirror and was impressed at the lack of visible glue and at the appearance and quality of the construction.

The Audition

Playing the AN10 was a joy with its low action and a thin, fast neck. With the bright D'Addario EXP strings, fingerpicking produced a pleasant and bright tone with plenty of bass during those runs between chords.

Because of the split-bridge configuration, I noticed the gaps between the strings were not even between the B and G strings. By loosening the string tension with the tuners, I was able to slide the strings along the saddle to get them more evenly spaced. Still, the space between the strings was a bit more than I am accustomed, and it took me about 30 minutes of playing before my fingers squarely hit the strings where I expected.

The AN10 sounded very good strumming but my thin pick brought out all this guitar's brightness. For my taste, it was too bright with the D'Addario EXP strings. A set of Martin bronze lights mellowed out the sound, making it much more balanced, but yet with plenty of volume on the top and bottom.

With a cedar top, however, the maximum volume comes quickly. If you put forth an extra hard strum, the AN10 simply doesn't give that extra bit of volume, but sort of compresses the sound. It is not muddy, it just will not get any louder. Thus, this guitar is not ideally suited for hard bluegrass or other rhythm strumming.

The AN10 is, however, a superb guitar for finger picking and folk and country strumming. It alsois ideal for recording. Using a large-diaphragm project-studio microphone and pro preamp, the playback sounded like a much more expensive, high-end, cedar top guitar, such as a Lowden. Recordings of fingerpicked tunes on the AN10 were very clean.

The only negative that I found was minor. The satin finish produced more handling noise when the guitar body slid against my shirt. This was easily picked up by the studio mic, which was only 6-8 inches away. A guitar with a glossy finish makes less handling noise.

Takamine GX-200

Features: This as a red and black Takamine GX-200. It has 22 frets, 3 knobs (volume, treble, bass), a pickup selector, non-locking tuners, and two sets of humbuckers. I believe this guitar was made in Japan, has a solid body, a maple fretboard, and a Strat-shaped body. there's nothing extremely special about this guitar, although it is a very beautiful guitar. The head is black on the front, and black with a spray-paint like design in the middle of the back of the head. The body and the back of the neck are black around the edges with that same spray-paint like quality red in the middles. // 8

Sound: I play mostly hard rock and metal, and this guitar is a perfect match. I use it with a Marshall JCM 800 Lead Series amp, and I use such pedals as Ibanez SD9 Sonic Distortion, Line 6 CrunchTone, and a Rocktron Silver Dragon Distortion/Overdrive. It definitly is a good match for hard rock and metal players, because it can give you those heavy rock sounds that a lot of guitarists look for. It has a very full sound, and can also give you those screaming highs that come in handy for high-speed metal shredding solos. // 9

Action, Fit & Finish: This guitar does not contain any obvious manufacturing flaws. All the pickups were adjusted to perfection. It has high quality wood on the fretboard, and every part of it looks as if it were very carefully crafted. The finish on the guitar is very good and has lasted about 20 years now without any of it wearing off. I really admire the work on this guitar. // 10

Reliability & Durability: This guitar is extremely reliable and durable. This particular guitar is about 20 years old, and sounds as if it is brand spankin new. It has been dropped, hit, and whacked on shelves and dressers multiple times over the years, and takes those blows without a problem. The most major thing that has happened to it is a chip came out of the body, but is barely noticable. Everything on it was built to last, and the finish has not worn off at all. I would rely on this guitar for just about anything, anytime. // 10

Impression: I play hard rock and metal, and this guitar is perfect for it. I gives you that real solid metal sound, especially with a good distortion pedal. If it were lost or stolen, I would definitely look to purchase another one, eventhough they are very hard to find these days. I love the extremely heavy music this guitar can give you, but I think its biggest flaw is when it is in a dropped tuning, no matter how much you adjust it, the low-E string always seems to rattle against the fretboard. For all you rockers and metal players out there, I would highly recommend this guitar // 9

Martin J-40/D-40 Acoustic Guitars

The standard 40 series Martin acoustics offer a combination of vintage and modern premium features in two styles: the jumbo-sized J-40 and the dreadnought, the D-40. Both are priced at $3,350

Features

The J-40 is Martin's popular take on the jumbo. The guitar's back and sides are solid rosewood, and the top is solid sitka spruce. The back stripe is herringbone inlay.

Martin D-40 Martin J-40

The guitar features, hand carved, scalloped X-bracing, a tried-and-true design that goes back to the1800s. (However, the guitar does not get the pre-war design, forward-shifted bracing that is one-inch from the soundhole. That feature is reserved for the HD28V, D-18V, D-41 and other high-end models).

The 40 series soundhole is adorned with numerous pieces of abalone around the body and soundhole. The one-piece mahogany neck, 25.4-inch scale, is fitted with an ebony fretboard with abalone hexagonal inlays - very nice. The headstock is embossed with the early 20th century style, vertical C.F. Martin logo, with abalone, instead of the smaller horizontal letters of later guitars. The tuners are gold-coated Gotohs while the bridge is ebony. The J-40 comes with Martin medium SP+ bronze strings.

The J-40 is not as big is not as big or as thick, as a Gibson J-200 jumbo, but the lower bout measures 16-inches. The body has a pinched waist when compared to a dreadnought. This make its more comfortable.

The D-40 has all the same woods, bracing decorative inlays, tuners and neck, but in the dreadnought size. It has a wider waist than the jumbo and a slightly smaller bottom bout.

Construction was perfect on both the J and the D. Nary a drop of excess glue on the inside, and the action was low enough that the mediums did not kill my fingers. These Martin SP+ strings, with the coating to keep them fresh, are as about as good as I have heard from this class of strings.

Both guitars are finished in natural gloss and they come with premium Martin hard cases.

The Audition

The D-40 and the J-40 have similar sonic characteristics - in that they are open, resonant and loud with a good bass that is often lacking in many of today's acoustic guitars, but there are definite differences because of the different shapes.

The J-40 is the more balanced guitar; its pinched waist reduces the bass bloom to be more on par with the treble. The guitar has an intimate tone that fingerstyle pickers will like, but yet is strums nicely as well. Because of the pinched waist, hard strumming over the soundhole creates a more bass heavy, less succinct character that is greatly reduced when playing midway between the bridge and soundhole.

The D-40 is a louder guitar that is more suited to rhythm and bold picking, such as bluegrass and folk. It is more bass heavy than the J-40. Thus, the apparent treble seems reduced in comparison. Still, it is a full spectrum dreadnought capable of filling big rooms, and it does have top end- especially when you play back from the soundhole.

Conclusion

The J-40 and the D-40 represent Martin lineage quite well. Having the same construction and features, the size and intended use should dictate which one suits your taste. If you are a strummer who needs commanding volume with strong bass the D-40 is your choice. Folks picking the blues and other singer/songwriter stylists might like the J-40 with its more comfortable feel. Heck, if you have enough dough, buy them both. Absolutely recommended.

Martin CF-1 Jazz Guitar

As I reviewed one of Martin's new premium jazz guitars, the CF-1, the words 'simplicity' and 'irresistible' came to mind. As I look at it, there is a simplicity of design that is rare in today's guitars. No fancy inlays or bindings -- just a very well-turned joint between top, sides and back. Really striking is the absence of fingerboard inlays - just side dots. The ebony bridge, tailpiece and pickguard are elegantly simple, and the ebony buttons on the Gotoh tuning machines make them virtually disappear.The irresistibility came when I played it on a number of gigs and found that CF-1's sound and playability tailor-made for real professional players like me.

FEATURES

The CF-1 is Martin's first archtop jazz guitar in many years. Designed for Martin by luthier Dale Unger and produced at the Martin factory in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, it retails for a reasonable $4,200. The CF-1 is available with a natural blonde finish or in sunburst and features a laminated Alpine spruce top; the back is constructed of laminated flamed maple and the sides are solid maple. The very comfortable U-shaped mahogany set-in neck features a 1-3/4-inch fingerboard width at the nut and a 2-1/8-inch width at the 12th fret. With a 3-inch body depth body and 14 frets in the clear, I was completely at home with this jazz guitar. Other features include solid black ebony heel cap, solid ebony pickguard, and floating solid ebony bridge. The tailpiece is also solid ebony. To minimize the effect on acoustic tone, the Kent Armstrong floating pickup is attached to the neck; it does not touch the top. The wires from the pickup go straight to the volume pot and the end-jack, where the cable is plugged in. There is only one control: the pick guard-mounted volume. Any tone tweaks have to be done via the amp or an outboard preamplifier.

THE AUDITION

When I first played this guitar, I was totally impressed. I have played a lot of jazz guitars in my 30 plus year career, solid wood and otherwise, and this Martin ranks up there with the best. Although the top is laminated, the tone is clear and vibrant with tremendous projection. The electric tone was detailed, friendly and familiar. The familiarity comes from my frequent playing of guitars with the Kent Armstrong floating pickup. They have a warm, balanced tone that is ideal for almost any jazz style. Kent has been my 'go to' guy for several unusual pickup requests in the past and has kept his standards high with this guitar as well.

Prior to writing this review, I played three live gigs with the CF-1, each very different and very revealing. The first was a solo gig where I had some difficulties with amplification. After a little deliberation, I decided to play the gig with no amp. It is not often that a guitar, especially one with a laminated top, is strong enough on its own to play a whole program without any amplification, but the CF-1 did just fine. I later did a quartet gig with guitarist and luthier Doug Proper. Doug plays a custom-made, all-solid-wood Dale Ungerseven string, a nice coincidence for our purpose. The Martin more than held its own, and the blend between the two instruments was remarkable. Because of the floating pickup and wide open sound of the CF-1, the guitar may be more susceptible to feedback, so I did not crank the amp all the way. For those who want the character of the CF-1, but with more volume, the Martin CF-2 has its two Seymour Duncan humbuckers pickups mounted in the top. These types of guitars tend to be less prone to feedback than jazz guitars with a floating pickup.

Finally, I played the CF-1 in a concert hall setting for a duo performance with Ali Ryerson, a renowned flutist I have played with for several years. During this gig, I found that the CF-1's reliable intonation all the way up the neck is a rarity for a jazz guitar (or most any unmodified guitar). Ialso noticed that the acoustic sound was very rich in this particular hall. All in all, the guitar performed beautifully. The Martin CF-1 also is a great studio guitar. I recommend two B & K (now DPA) cardioid condensers -- one aimed at the twelfth fret from about 12 inches and one at the same distance from the lower f-hole. To complete the miking scheme, plug the guitar into a small tube amp and mic it with the Neumann TLM103. My only change I would make to the CF-1 is a tone control. While I love the purity of just one pot, the real world occasionally demands a little more tonal flexibility. I pretty much left the guitar in stock form during the review, but I did try some different strings, replacing the installed light jazz strings for a set of round wound .012's from GHS. The GHS strings enable a stronger electric tone, but the Martin strings sounded a little better when playing the CF-1 acoustically. For me, the change was not a bad tradeoff since I play almost exclusively with an amp.

Lowden F35 Walnut Acoustic Guitar

Although hand built guitars are usually quite expensive, that special personal touch in craftsmanship adds a character that is mostly missing in mass-produced acoustics. The Lowden F35 Walnut, priced at $3,925 is one of those special guitars.

Features

Lowden Guitars are hand made by George Lowden's luthiers in North Belfast, Ireland. These premium guitars have a quality reputation in tone and construction and materials. A number of pros play them including Irish singer/songwriters Richard Thompson and Van Morrison.

The Lowden F35 Walnut has several unusual construction features and many elegant touches of the luthiers craft. First, the shape and size is called "orchestra." It's about the same size as a dreadnought but the waist is a bit more pinched and the front shoulders are more rounded.

Instead of the usual solid spruce top often seen on premium acoustics, the Lowden F35 has a cedar top, usually found on classical guitars. Additionally, the area around the sound hole is strengthened with a cedar, pentagonal-shaped, stiffener insert.

The rigid top bracing is a unique "A-X-E"-pattern, which is said to give the guitar its sound character. The e-braces are along the lower bout.

The walnut bridge assembly is a split bridge with two separate saddles, one for the high E and B strings and another for the remaining strings. This allows for more precise intonation. The strings mount through the end of the bridge and are held in place by their ball ends, not by plastic pegs that are used to hold strings on most steel-string acoustics.

A shim is included underneath the saddles to facilitate the easy installation of a "Fishman" type pickup., There is a pre-drilled hole for the wire and an oversized wooden end pin with the proper diameter hole reamed for the easy installation of an end-pin jack.

The sides and back of the F35 are solid walnut. There are beautiful inlays on the back, top and sides of the guitar, including perfectly mated wood binding around the top edge, delicately mitered wood inlays on the back and an abalone ring around the slightly larger-than-usual sound hole. A clear pick guard protects the wood below the sound hole.

The five-piece, walnut-laminate neck, and the medium height frets are pressed into a dark ebony fretboard with a 25.5-inch scale. The gold-plated Lowden tuners resemble Grovers and have pearl-escent plastic knobs.

The F35 Walnut came with a tough and well-padded Hiscox case that has the Lowden name molded into the top.

I checked the guitar thoroughly and its construction was impeccable. The smooth satin finish showed no evidence of changes in surface at the many places where there are inlays and junctions between different types of wood. There was no sloppy glue, no slightly askew bracing and nothing to indicate that Lowden's price for this fine guitar is anything other than reasonable.

The Audition

This particular Lowden was set up with higher action than I am used to, and the furnished light gauge strings made for quite a break in period for the old fingers. If you have played an old Martin acoustic, then you can envision the action of the Lowden. (According to Lowden, the higher action contributes to the bold, projected sound).
Despite the manual warning to "contact your Lowden dealer for advice about strings best suited to your instrument and style of playing," I decided to string it up with D'Addario phosphor bronze extra lights to make it easier on the digits.

With extra lights and several evenings for the audition, I came to the conclusion that the Lowden F35 was one of the best sounding acoustic guitars I had ever heard!

It is has a loud, crisp treble and midrange with a taut low-end that doesn't try to impress with boomy aplomb. The walnut and cedar also combine to give an incredible projection for a non-dreadnaught acoustic.

I couldn't keep my hands off the Lowden and everything I played sounded like music to my ears. The Lowden even kept its crisp, clean sound while fingerpicking with bare fingers.

Because of its size, the Lowden F35 was comfy to play standing up as well as sitting down. Simply, strap on the strap and go to town.

Although the expense of this guitar, may push owners not to play out with the Lowden F35, it certainly is no light weight when it comes to durability. Besides what is a guitar without some character marks. It would be like taking your VW to the Formula One race because you were afraid of dinging up the Lotus.

Conclusion

I had heard a lot about Lowden's reputation of quality and impeccable acoustic sound. After playing one, I whole heartedly agree. The F35 is one of the finest sounding acoustics I have ever played.

Those of you of nimble little fingers may want to make sure the action is to your liking before purchasing. But if the action is not a problem, the Lowden F-35 is worth the price of hand-made admission.

Kramer Imperial FR404S

Features: This guitar was made anywhere from about 2004-2006, in the US. It is a solid alder body guitar. It has an eliptical slim-taper bolt on neck with 24 jumbo frets, on maple. The fingerboard is made of indian rosewood. It comes in 3 colors, black mettalic, blue mettalic, and silver mettalic. The body style is identical to the Gibson Explorer, with an "EX" shape, and comes with a Double Locking licensed Floyd Rose Tremolo and Gotoh SG Machine Heads for better tuning and stability. The stock pickups are 2 Quadrail humbuckers (2 pickups per single pickup, which equals a total of 8 pickups). The controls consist of a 3 way pick up selector, master volume, master tone with push/pull, and it is hum cancelling in either direction. It also came with the allen wrenches needed to adjust the bridge, and to take off the lock offs. It also came with an extra spring for the bridge, and a cable to plug in. And ofcourse the whammy bar came with it, but not on it. // 10

Sound: Just by the looks of this guitar you can clearly see it is made to shred, whether it be fast metal arpeggios, or fast licks of any kind. It can suit any type of music, but mostly metal. I am using a Crate GX2200 Head, and a Legion Sound 4X12 cab, which is running through a DigiTech RP100. It is very easy to get some crunch or heavy distortion and high gain, and to do some dive bombs. There is no unecessary feedback or humming when you arent playing. With both pickups engaged, this guitar is killer. This thing can make any sound you want it to. // 10

Action, Fit & Finish: This guitar came perfectly set up except for the tuning. All I had to do was tune it and put the whammy bar on and I was ready to go. The pickups were perfectly adjusted, and sound great. This guitar came in better condition than I thought it was going to. I thought this deal was way too easy. It was shipped to my house in 5 days, it came already set up, it looked better in person than in the picture, and the order was exactly what I wanted, and came in perfect condition on time. There was no hassles, except for the fact I had to wait a month on this guitar, because they are always out of stock. For me, it was worth the wait. // 10

Reliability & Durability: This guitar would definately be my main guitar on stage, it looks and sounds great. I would feel comfortable not even having a backup. The hardware will definately last. The strap button is located right where the neck is bolted on which is an easy access. I think the only way this guitar would lose its finish, would be if it were dropped or chipped, other than that the paint will last forever. // 9

Impression: I play pretty much only metal, such as Maiden, Dragonforce, and Kalmah. This guitar works perfectly for any type of metal. I don't really know about other music styles, but this thing is made to shred. I wouldn't buy this guitar if you were planning to play anything besides, metal, or rock. If your gonna play hardcore, emo, screamo, or anything else with it, please dont buy it. There is nothing I wish I would have asked, but I was skeptical at first in purchasing a guitar online that I have never seen in person, or played. But it ended up being the best deal ever. If it were stolen or lost, I would wait another month for them to come in stock, and I would definately buy it again, probably 2 just incase I lose another one, and so I won't have to wait another month. I love everything about this guitar, its finish, shape, sound, apperance, the slim neck, the would, and the 2 quadrail humbuckers. There is nothing I hate about this guitar. My favorite feature would have to be the quadrail pickups because, that is one thing that makes this guitar stand out and be so unique. I dont know what else this thing could have. It's perfect. // 10

Kramer Bareta

Features: - USA original, 1986

- 24 frets
- Laminated, Gibson Hi-Laq finish, laminated headstock
- Main body: basswood
- Neck: maple
- Body stile: modelled on the EVH Kramer 1984
- Bridge: original floyd rose
- Passive electrics, 1 volume control, single humbucker at bridge
- Locking tuners. // 10

Sound: This is a great guitar for any form of hair metal. This type of guitar was mostly known as been used by Edward Van Halen but was also used by Mick Mars of Motley Crue and also by Hanoi Rocks, to name a few. It's best ran through a Peavey 5150 MKII but your lucky to get your hands on one now that they've ceased manufacture. For its age, the guitar plays amazingly well. The pickup was removed and dipped in parrafin wax so all white noise has disappeared. This guitar has the best harmoniic range I've felt with only a +/- 2 fret blank on harmonics at either end of the board. // 10

Action, Fit & Finish: As it was customised for the original Floyd Rose, the set up on this guitar is unbeatable. The action is low and fast with no blanks on frets. The first models in 1983 had a habit of being warped but this guitar is perfectly flush. I recently had all the hardawre conditioned and the springs replaced so its flawless. It is known that some of the newer Kramer re-issues have had problems with warping so I would advise you to not buy from unauthorised Kramer dealers on the net and check the insides of the axe before buying a used one. If the loop attaching the spring to the trem is worn. // 10

Reliability & Durability: Reliability was a prime factor in the design of this guitar, after all, it had to survive the Van Halen world tours, not to mention the antics of Motley Crue! I put all my trust in this guitar as it will never fail in its current condition. The guitar is solid, the finish has lasted without any major blistering and all the electronics are original. // 10

Impression: Lets face it, it's a Kramer. In the early '80s, Gibson bought over a small company in central America known as the Kramer corporation. The intention was to manufacture a guitar that would appeal to the musicians of the day, satisfy a heavy metal market. This guitar still does so today, influincing the designs of many punk bands guitars. The guitars are still favoured among session men, I should know! If you have an older Kramer in your house anywhere, dig it out and check the trem. If your guitar has an original floyd rose on it, your holding a gem! I would strongly reccomend this type of guitar to anyone who sees guitar beyond down-stroking and power chords and don't require something particularly mellow like a Strat. Consider buying? Make sure you buy the right one for youand don't fall for post 1991 copies! // 10

Guild F50R Jumbo Acoustic Guitar

Guild F50R

Since the 1950s,Guild has had a reputation as a premium acoustic and archtop guitar manufacturer, ranking up there with Martin and Gibson.

Up until 2000, the Guilds were built in Westerly, Rhode Island. But parent company Fender moved the manufacture of the Guild acoustics and archtops to its Corona, California facility.

One of the flagship models from the new production set up is the reintroduced F50R jumbo.

Features

The new F50R, priced at $2,499, is based on the original F50 specifications from 1960s-1980s. The jumbo is somewhat larger than the typical dreadnought folk guitar across lower bout of the guitar - with a pinched waist. The previous model, called the JF65, was similarly sized, but the front bought was thicker

The F50R sample we tested was beautifully constructed - with a two-piece solid spruce top, solid rosewood sides and back, and a three-piece mahogany neck. The back and neck contained thin, tasteful wood inlays, and the body and neck were trimmed with bright white binding. The finish was two-color sunburst.

The Guild F50R features an ebony fretboard and a rosewood bridge. Neck dimensions include a 25.6-inch scale and a slightly narrower-than-normal width of 1.69 inches. The F50R does not lack for fine details - the fretboard has eye-catching abalone and mother-of-pearl inlays and two racing stripes that run from nut to sound hole.

The neck is thin, almost like an electric guitar, and it has a distinctive broad, shallow heel where it attaches to the body. The overall exterior finish - including the tobacco sunburst top - was excellent, although the review sample had a pitch pocket (a dark spot in the spruce) on the top about a half-inch from the bridge.

Other features include a tortoise-shell pickguard and smooth-feeling, gold-plated, Grover tuners. A black plastic plate covers the truss rod adjustment plate on the front of the headstock, and the guitar's serial number is stamped into the back of the headstock.

The detailing inside the F50R was very good but not perfect. It was generally clean, but I spotted some glue stains on the rosewood. Nothing serious.

Since this is a jumbo, it is about 1.5 inches wider at the big bout than a dreadnought. It is also heavier, a result of the extensive use of rosewood and the guitar's overall large size. It is noticeably heavier to hold than a dreadnought, but the trade off is the increased volume.

The Guild F50R was fitted with medium-gauge Guild-branded, phosphor-bronze strings and it arrived in a hard and well-padded G&G case.

Audition

Since the bass of an acoustic guitar radiates from the large bout, a jumbo guitar has the potential for deep, rich bass. The Guild F50R does not disappoint in the bass response region - it has strong bass that gives this guitar a loud, rich, overall tone.

The treble range is not an afterthought, however. The Guild had plenty of volume, especially when I strummed and flat picked with my preferred thin picks.

It also is a good guitar for finger picking - the progression starting at a D chord with descending bass notes that ends up at a G chord - sounded wonderful with deep, smooth bass.

On the test sample, the neck was easy-to-play with very low action. It is a nice feel for an acoustic guitar. Although the action was low, there were no unusual buzzes, and it was easy on the fingers - even with medium-gauge strings.

On my sample, I noticed that the saddle was cut rather low to enable the aforementioned low action. However, the resulting side effect is not having any excess to shave from the saddle in order to compensate for a rising top and neck that ultimately results in resets for most acoustic guitars.

Another consequence of the low saddle is that without a ample break angle over the saddle, volume can be reduced. We could not tell if the volume was reduced since we had no second unit to compare it with. The F50R, however, was plenty loud, thus, the low saddle may have had no effect.
Summary
The Guild F50R is definitely worth the Guild pedigree. The builders in California may take a little time to finally get all the fine points perfect, but the F50R proves that the Guild design is tried and true - no matter whether it is made on the East or West Coast.

Gibson Les Paul Studio Plus Electric Guitar

The plain Jane Les Paul Studio of today, however, is now available in a "plus" version that is as pretty as any Les Paul made. After years as the little brother to the Les Paul standard, the new Les Paul Studio Plus ($2,695 retail) gets a make over with high-grade figured maple top, gold hardware, and classic Kluson tuners.

Features

The Les Paul Studio Plus is made from a select, solid mahogany body with a two-piece book-matched, AA grade maple top. My sample came in a beautiful desert sunburst with plenty of flame maple showing through. The top appears less thick than the carved top on my 1998 Les Paul Standard, and there is no body or neck binding. But to my eye, those omissions do not take away from the eye-pleasing appearance.

The guitar has a 24.75-inch scale, 22-fret neck with the typical Gibson trapezoid inlays. It feels similar, but with a little less girth, to the current Les Paul Standard neck. The head stock is adorned with gold plated Kluson vintage style tuners, and the 17-degree head stock angle ensures the infamous Les Paul sustain.

Besides the gold Klusons, other gold plated hardware includes the tune-o-matic bridge, stop-bar tailpiece, Gibson’s 498 bridge humbucker and 490R neck humbucker, selector switch, strap hangers and volume and tone pots (black "speed" knobs). The PUs — which are often described as PAF-like with extra midrange and output— come standard on many guitars including the Les Paul Standard.

The Studio Plus includes the same high quality Gibson case that the Standard ships with. A trans red color option is also available for the guitar.

The Audition

The guitar came with Gibson .09-.42 strings and were promptly changed to .10-.46 sized strings, which are my personal favorites. Set up was excellent from the factory with intonation dead on — even with the string change. I did notice that the "B" string saddle rattled when I bent a note on that string. I turned the screw a few turns and then readjusted the intonation. That took care of the loose spring.

I played the Les Paul Studio Plus through a 1966 Deluxe Reverb, 1999 Fender Twin Reverb reissue, a Marshall JCM2000 DSL201, and a solid state Fender Deluxe 90. Through all the amps the guitar was pure Gibson tone. It sounds like a Les Paul, but the character is slightly darker. Acoustically, my Les Paul Standard rings with more treble because of the thicker maple top. The Les Paul Studio Plus is more mahogany sounding with a warm compressed tone — great for power chords and neck PU jazz runs. The excellent sustain was as good as my Standard.

All this Gibson Les Paul sound comes from a significantly lighter guitar than my Standard — which is a whale in terms of weight. The Studio Plus is so much easier to play when strapped around your neck. This is a Les Paul a little guy can play. One caveat: the guitar still weighs enough to snap off the steeply angled head stock if it falls on a hard surface. Keep it in the case or locked in a stand.

I had no complaints with the Studio Plus. The only thing I would change are the PUs. I like the 490/498 PUs, but I like the Classic 57/57 Plus PUs a little bit more for clean work. They are not quite as sharp in the midrange.

Conclusion

The Gibson folks were excited about the introduction of this new product and rightly so. The Gibson Les Paul Studio Plus is one great humbucker guitar! It is lighter, less expensive, sounds like a premium Les Paul and has a killer look. What else do you want?
