Takamine G Series EG440SC NEX Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Gloss Natural Buy Now

I teach guitar and ordered one of these for one of my students. I had a hard time parting with it. Great size, nice cutaway, good electronics, and a tuner. What more can you ask for except it's made by Takamine with it's exceptional quality and sound. It's difficult to find these because they sell out too quickly and the price has been going up. I just can't find the deal I first got for $379 with hard shell case and free ship. My student just loves this guitar and won't part with it. You can't usually go wrong with a Takamine.Get more detail about Takamine G Series EG440SC NEX Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Gloss Natural.

Daisy Rock Debutante Butterfly Short Scale Fantasy Electric Guitar Pack Order Now

This guitar is a decent starter guitar for a girl who wants a guitar that looks pretty and plays suffiently well. The body shape is a little awkward playing around. There are no cut outs around the upper part of the neck so that makes playing the higher frets challenging. Otherwise the neck is fairly player friendly. The starter package deal was worth it for the gig bag and other accessories, the amp is pretty weak sounding but will do for now.Get more detail about Daisy Rock Debutante Butterfly Short Scale Fantasy Electric Guitar Pack.

Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-II Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Midnight Ebony Decide Now

I love the sound of a Les Paul, but I refused to buy one because having been a Strat player for years, I just felt that LP's were uncomfortable to play. This Les Paul addresses the two major factors in why a traditional LP is uncomfortable:

#1, Weight. Ever pick up a real LP? They weight a ton and by the end of a show, your shoulder and lower back are killing you. This thing is super light! The acoustic chambers make it essentially a hollow-body. I'm not sure what the actual weight is, but it's significantly lighter than a solid body LP, but sounds the same (actually better with the piezo).

#2, Body Contours. I don't have a huge belly, but the sharp corners on regular LP's cut into my gut and just aren't comfortable. This guy has a nice body contour in it, so it's really quite comfortable.

The neck has some kind of radical "satin" finish on it that is LIGHTNING fast to play on. It's almost like a rough finish, but it's great because your hand doesn't stick to it like it would to a traditional painted finish. You just have to try it.

This thing has that LP growl that all guitar players associate with a LP. The humbuckers are phenomenal!! In my band, we play classic rock covers with a few heavier tunes thrown in. I figured this guitar would fit right in with some of the more "mild" songs, and songs that were recorded on a LP. "Hold On Loosely", "Deuce", "Life In The Fast Lane", and a couple of Journey tunes... stuff like that. This guitar certainly covers those styles perfectly. But wait... The first time I took this to practice, we started playing "Man In The Box" with a heavy overdrive, and when I hit an artificial harmonic in "G" on the low "E" string... O-M-G!!! The rest of the band members jaws all dropped and they commented that this guitar screamed like a Zakk Wylde. It's VERY responsive!! Then I dialed it back, and tried out the piezo acoustic pickup for our rendition of "Comfortably Numb". I know, shudder at the thought of playing a LP for a Pink Floyd song... The piezo acoustic sound was absolutely incredible, but then when I turned the piezo down and the humbuckers back on for the solo's, it filled the bill again!
This guitar will get you pretty much ANY tone you want (except for the buzz of a single coil). All I can say is, try it!!

There are only 2 things I don't like about this guitar, hence the 4-stars. While the body is light, the headstock isn't, and it tends to pull on the shoulder. It's just not very well balanced, so it takes some getting used to. Also, it's still tough to get to the higher frets just like any LP.

Otherwise, you get the killer LP sound with the added bonus of an acoustic, and the unexpected bonus of COMFORT! This guitar is well worth the price and I'd say it's essential to any collection. You can cover so much ground with it!

Schecter Synyster Gates Custom Electric Guitar (Black Gloss, Pimp Stripe) Right now

This guitar is absolutely amazing. It looks great, the silver stripes are just awesome. The floyd rose tremolo works very well, along with the locking nuts, which cause the guitar to never go out of tune. It has a great metal sound, you can have the amp on clean and still hear a little bit of distortion from the seymour duncan's, which can be split to achieve a nicer clean. Overall great guitar, i would recommend it, the only thing i don't like is that the floyd rose makes it hard to change the tuning.Get more detail about Schecter Synyster Gates Custom Electric Guitar (Black Gloss, Pimp Stripe).

Lowest Price Epiphone Tony Iommi G-400 SG Collection Electric Guitar, Ebony

For Years I have played Sabbath covers with my metal band. For a time I even played with a Gibson SG 1961 reissue. But it was too far from the ones Iommi uses, which are extensively customized. So I went back to more "metal" guitars, like my Ibanez RG Prestige. I was obviously very interested when Guibson decided to make Tony Iommi signature models.
But I was also desappointed, because one main thing was missing : Tony Iommi, almost from the start of Black Sabbath, removed the original bridge to put a Badass-style one. Iommi always play with this kind of bridges, and I'm sure it is part of the metal that you get from these guitars. This is one of the main modification that a Tony Iommi SG (Gibson or Epiphone) should have, but you won't find it on these signature models. Nevertheless it seems to be a very good guitar.Get more detail about Epiphone Tony Iommi G-400 SG Collection Electric Guitar, Ebony.

Low Price Dean Classical Solid-Top Acoustic-Electric Cutaway Left Handed Guitar

I really liked this instruemnt. The woodwork and binding is equal in quality to units that cost much more. The only adjustment I had to make was the bridge to lower the action a little. The sound quality is very good and the built in tuner is great as well. Great value and the fact that it is left handed makes it worth more to me.Get more detail about Dean Classical Solid-Top Acoustic-Electric Cutaway Left Handed Guitar.

Save Yamaha F-310 Steel String Acoustic Folk Guitar, Semi Jumbo

The Yamaha F-310 Acoustic Guitar was my very first guitar, and I grew to love it. I played it for 6 years, and it never failed. Since then I have upgraded to a Gibson Songwriter Cutaway (which plays like a dream), and I gave away my trustworthy Yamaha to a lucky person. I sometimes wish I still had my old F-310. I beat it up pretty bad, but the tone and playability never diminished. Don't let the price fool you...this yamaha is everything you could want in a beginner/intermediate guitar. With the right set of fresh strings, this guitar sounds comparable to higher-end guitars in the upper hundreds. Buy this Yamaha, and it'll be one purchase you don't regret.Get more detail about Yamaha F-310 Steel String Acoustic Folk Guitar, Semi Jumbo.
