Luna Neo Mini Electric Guitar - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this guitar in attempt to practice the technique of wrapping your thumb around the neck to play the bass line (watch the footage of Hendrix at woodstock). A small scale guitar would be perfect for that. And, for just that, it does ok. However, quite a number of the frets buzz, the body is not contoured to anyones body, and you are smacked in the face with "cheap". I even broke the adjustable poles on the humbuckers the first time I tried to turn them. Weirdly, this actually improved the sound quality, which was below average to begin with. With all the poles sank deep into the humbucker it actually has a rather nice mellow tone now.

Around the time I bought this, I picked up an Ibanez Mikro for the same price. As a short scale guitar, the Ibanez is much, much better and easier to play, though it lacks the "warmth" of midrange tone you get from the Luna.

For the price, the Luna a decent guitar, though it should only be considered a basic beginner guitar or practice guitar. It does look good though.

Fender Squire Affinity Series Mini Strat Black Finish Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This has the bones of a good instrument, but the designers did not pay attention to the core design problem of a mini guitar--the string length, or scale.Had the mini Strat a typical Strat's vibrato, the total string length would be a couple of inches longer, which would be a dramatic improvement for this guitar.The longer the string from tuning key to stop, the more tension required to raise the string to proper intonation.And the more tension, the better it will play and sound.

The designers used a ridiculously complex tailpiece that has two hex screws to adjust the height of each string.With the relatively low string tension, adjusting the bridge is a delicate process.It is hard to keep the saddles low enough, to not affect playability, because you have to raise them enough to keep the saddles from rattling.A little more string tension would solve that.

If you tune this thing high pitched like a mandolin, it plays much better.In truth, it's accidentally designed to be tuned like that.Tuned normally, it's too twangy.My daughter won't touch it; she prefers my full-scale SG because it sounds so much better.Try heavier than average strings; they help, but that also makes the instrument less playable for small hands.

The pickups are nothing special, but the Mini Strat does have the five-position switch, and the in-between positions produce nice, chunky tones.
