Gibson Firebird V Electric Guitar, Vintage Sunburst Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellent finish, lightweight, and pure rock 'n' roll tone! The ceramic minihumbuckers really smoke (think Gov't Mule)! The neck and the body design give you total access to the highest frets, much better than a Les Paul.

Fender Starcaster Pak with Amp, Stand, Cord, Strap, Strings, Tuner, Gigbag, and Picks - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I didnt use the amp or anything else it came with
Ok, I oredered this guitar without the illusion of it being a great guitar. I've played guitar for 15 years and have fallen in love with the Billy Corgan sig. strat. So I chose the Startcaster as a spring board for modifications.

When I got into the Starcaster i quickly did an assesment:
1. the low E buzzed; if you have this problem then look straight down on top of the guitar from the top of the head stock. you will see that the low E notch has been cut deeper than the rest of the strings.

2. the tuning pegs (not the key itself) are wobbly, which lead to retunes after each chord you strum

3. the bridge isnt bolted down tight; mine was loose when i took the strings off. first i noticed the bridge "slinking" off the body when i'd do a bend.

4. the tone knobs arent aligned right with the numbers on them.

5. the fret board has an extremly weird varnish on it that cause the strings to make a scratchy sound.

6. i took the back panel off and saw that the tension springs were warped and werent putting to much resistance against the bridge.

7. under the pickguard was a sad sight: tons of saw dust and a couple extra screws that didnt have anything to do with the guitar were tossed in (two were magnetically stuck to the neck and mid pick-up. wiring looked ok, but bad soilder jobs.

here's what i did:
Machine head: i put black wilkinson E-Z lock tuners
Pick-ups: bridge- DiMarzio Chopper Mid- DiMarzio Fast Track 2 Neck- DiMarzio Pro Track
Nut: Replacded with a Graphite 1.65"
Tension Springs: DiMarzio Tremolo Bridge (guitar comes with 3; i replaced with 5)
Neck: sanded the frets and filed the fret wires; buzz is gone

I recomend strap locks!!!
oh and i didnt mention the whammy bar; it was bent in an odd direction, but i'm not Eddie Van Halen so i dont use one. 0;)
i hoped i helped

Product Description:
The Dean From Hell CFH is a straight-up replica of the Dean guitar Dimebag Darrell played with Pantera. Any fan would recognize this iconic axe from the band's Cowboys From Hell album cover, and any shredder would recognize some of its shred-tastic appointments: the classic Dean ML body shape, Floyd Rose double-locking trem, or the unique Bill Lawrence L500XL Bridge Pickup that Dimebag loved so well. This is a perfect axe for any rocker who wants to channel some of that Dimebag fury, and a fitting tribute to the man himself.

Dime It
The late great Dimebag Darrell is a serious metal guitar hero, and Dean's series of Dimebag models pays homage. Dimebag started playing Dean ML style guitars in the late '70s, and made it one of the most recognizable shapes today. Dean offers a wide variety of Dimebag MLs to choose from, all boasting Dimebag's distinctive look and tons of mojo and attitude. Mahogany Body
Dean uses a mahogany body for this beast (as with many of its guitars).Mahogany is a common choice for electrics, dependably delivering a warm, full tone with plenty of punch and sustain. And of course there's that lightning-themed finish, sure to help coax a little electricity from your fingers on the fretboard.Set Neck Construction
The CFH features a set mahogany neck, which imparts all the well-known advantages of that style: a warmer overall tone with extended low-end response, wicked sustain, and easy upper-fret access. The 24-3/4-inch scale neck features a rosewood fingerboard with classic dot inlays.Bill Lawrence L500XL Bridge Pickup
Dimebag made no secret of his love for this particular humbucker, relying on it for a crystal-clear, harmonic-drenched tone--very shred-friendly, but equally suited for rhythm work. A Dean humbucker completes the package up in the neck position, each pickup getting its own volume conrol, along with a shared tone and three-way toggle.Grover Tuners
If you play guitar then you know what this means--solid, dependable tuning from the industry standard. These guitar machines are a triumph in engineering and style, with a gear ratio of 14:1, perfect gear meshing, and zero backlash and slippage. The gear box has a special lubricant for lifetime, trouble-free service.
Licensed Floyd Rose Tremolo
The patented and often imitated double-locking design of the Floyd Rose tremolo allows you to lock your guitar in tune at the nut and at the bridge. Engineered like no other tremolo system, the Floyd's high-quality steel parts are manufactured to exacting specifications. Beat it up as much as you want--from traditional vibrato to dive bombing leads or flapping loose strings, and stay in tune while you do it. DBD Traction Knobs
Dimebag always rocked his "traction knobs," which he created by taking a soldering iron to them, for knobs that are grippable no matter how much sweat's pouring off you on stage. Yet another aspect of the orginal Dean From Hell that Dean faithfully recreates here.

Fender Starcaster® Electric Guitar/Amp Package - FlameTop Finish Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have this guitar pack and I have to say that the number of negative comments is amazing.I am not sure what people expect for $200.00.No! This is not a $1200.00 dollar American made strat, nor is the $500.00 Mexican made strat.It's a low cost made in China strat.

Regardless of where it was made, I found the workmanship to be very acceptable.The guitar is beautiful and the rosewood fretboard is very nice.The whole guitar has a solid feel.My only real complaint is that the center pickup has an unusually low level output.But there is no way I would return this guitar just because of a single pickup.At worst case I'd just have Fender send a replacement.And Yes! As other reviews have noted, the amp hums a little (especially at higher volumes).But, this has more to with the single coil pickups used in the guitar.If you want humbucker pickups, you're going to pay more.Also the amp is just a small 10W practice amp.It works fine for lower volume practicing.I have fallen in love with mine and play it quietly in the evenings to relax from the world.

I have a family and very little extra money.I am greatful that Fender has provided these low cost kits.It gives me the opportunity to own and relax with a Fender, something that would be questionable with a better (read more expensive) guitar.And, if the kids develop an interest, I won't cry too much if they add a few scratches to it.

Folks need to keep things in perspective.This is a low cost entry level guitar.Understanding those limitations, I highly recommend this kit to anyone just starting out.
