Standard Tele Is A Workhorse Of A Guitar

6. January 2006

The Fender Standard Telecaster has got to be one of the best deals going when it comes to quality, price, sound, and easy playability. Seriously, the Tele packs quite a whallop in the punchy tone department, and for around $350 US you get one solidly built guitar that has no problem being heard over even [...]

While we’re on the subject of dream guitars… If you’re a big Tele fan like me, but not such a big fan of the Telecaster’s general lack of versatility (I played one for years, and felt that this was it’s one shortcoming,) you might be interested to know that you do have options, and one of [...]

If you’ve been coveting that Gibson Les Paul Standard down at your local guitar shop, but you can’t really justify dropping more than $2,000 on a new instrument, you might take a serious look at the Les Paul Studio. These guitars were originally built as a cheaper alternative to Gibson’s mainstay Les Paul, but they [...]

Looking For A Good Beginner’s Guitar?

If you’re looking for a good beginner’s guitar to put under the Christmas tree this year, or perhaps for a birthday present, I would highly recommend taking a look at Squier’s SE Special Strat Pack. For the price ($199.79 at time of writing) you can’t really beat this package – it includes the Squier SE Special [...]

Fender Telecaster 72 Thinline

7. November 2005

The Fender ‘72 Telecaster Thinline is for the guitarist who loves the raw, crunchy sound of a Tele, but longs for a tone just a little bit warmer and rounder than a standard Telecaster can offer. I played one of these exclusively for about three years, and found the Thinline’s semi-hollow body (made of ash,) and [...]

Fender Standard Stratocaster

Looking for a good beginner’s guitar for the aspiring string-bender in your family? the Fender Standard Stratocaster is easily the first guitar I would suggest. Why? Because it’s reasonably priced, and the quality is excellent. In fact, I would argue that for the price you can’t really get a better electric guitar than a Standard [...]

Gibson ES335 Reissue

UPDATE: See our new in-depth review of the Gibson ES-335. When I was 23-years-old I saved up for six months to buy my first truly high-quality guitar – a Gibson ES335 Reissue Hollowbody. It cost me around $2,000 at that time, and I was quite literally living on Top Ramen & Taco Bell in order to save [...]

Gibson SG Supreme 57

4. November 2005

The Gibson SG is one of the most popular guitars in the world, loved by many for it’s particularly wicked looks, but also for it’s high playability. It’s no joke that the SG’s low action makes for butter-smooth fretting, and you don’t need me to tell you that means it’s a veritable speed demon. While the [...]
