Price paid: $ 200
Purchased from: Ams
Features: I'm not sure of the year it was made or where for that matter. It has 21 frets and good thin neck maple wood. Polished finish on the overall guitar. It has a Teleacoustic shape to the body. It has a Tele style bridge. And it has active electronics EQ built in pickup. It has a tree way selector switch. Locking tuners and they are silver. Nothing comes with it. // 10
Sound: Well it fits my music style good my style is acoustic but I also like the pickup so I can plug it up to and amp and play around with the sound. It has a vary rich sound and bright soung to it. It dosen't have much variety to the sound the selector switch not much. // 10
Action, Fit & Finish: The factory did an excellent job they put evything together perfect no dents, scratches, lose parts, and the selector switches were perfect. // 8
Reliability & Durability: Yes it will it has great duribility. I've tuned it and once its tuned for bout two months they don't move. The strap buttons have not come lose yet. You can depend on this one u wouldnt need a back up. The finish is like concrete I've droped a couple of time and the finish has still not chiped. // 10
Impression: I play christain punk music and it's a real good match. I've been playing for bout 3 years now. I own a Montana and it not good compared to the Ibanez. Nothing I would have asked before buying. If it were stolen I would buy another one ASAP. The small body the thing I hate is really nothin my fav feature is the selector switch. I compared to Fender and Yamaha this had the best price with the kind of excellent quality it's got. // 10

Price paid: £ 160
Purchased from: UpTempo
Features: This is a 2008 Electro Acoustic Guitar in black. It is made from mahogany and spruce with a rosewood fretboard. It looks absoloutely stunning. The pre amp is very good with volume, treble and bass controls, which work perfectly as you would expect. The only problem that can be slightly annoying is that to use he onboard tuner (which again is very good) you must have a lead plugged into, which if your playing without an amp can be annoying sometimes. The cutaway is the main thing that drew me to the guitar, but it won't be for everyone. But it allows almost limitless higher fretboard access unlike many other acoustics. The tuners are good quality of Ibanez make, and the D'addorio strings sound great. // 9
Sound: First off the sound without an amp rivals that of many larger acoustics. This guitar is very thin and you could expect there to be limited acoustics but it is suprisingly loud and the tone is very full. The tone settings can be changed, and the changes are again very good and you don't get any dull spots of sound when trying to find more bass/treble. The guitar sounds very good for acoustic rock and punk. If your looking for a more classical sound then you definately want to look elsewhere but for everything else it is almost flawless. // 9
Action, Fit & Finish: The guitar's setup was reasonably good. There was a little more action then I would of liked but after a bit of fiddling I was able to cancel it out. The only other faults I can find are where the neck joins the body you can see a little bit of glue around the edges. But for a guitar that is only 150 quid you can't complain at all. // 8
Reliability & Durability: The guitar is very solid and for a smaller guitar it feels much more solid then larger counterparts. This is probably due the smaller acoustic space. Would definately be able to withstand plenty of gigs. However the black finish is easily marked by fingerprints so may want to keep a cloth in your bag. // 9
Impression: This guitar, for the price, is absoloutely superb and I would pay well over that price for it if I lost it. I love it. The styling however is not for some people so i would definately try the guitar before you buy (obvious I know). However they are not stocked in many shops in the UK. // 9

Purchased from: Brook Mays Music Store
Features: This guitar is an acoustic/electric and it was made in China. It has 20 frets with a pearl dot inlay. It has a spruce top and mahogany wood. It has a gloss blue finish which I really love. The controls are volume, treble, and bass. It has Die Cast (CH) tuners. I got my guitar in a pack, so it came with alot of accessories. It came with a tuner (quik tune, which was a peice of crap), a chord, and polish + rag. // 8
Sound: This doesn't really suit my music style which is punk. The amp I'm using is a 10 watt (yes, I know) Troubadour IBZ10A. I'm using no effects. It's not noisy unless you crank the volume and treble way up (which I have done before). It sounds good plugged in and unplugged. Please note that my first guitar sounded like crap, the wood was rotted, and the strings were far apart from the wood. This is only my second guitar. Compared to my first guitar, this sounds like heaven! // 8
Action, Fit & Finish: No mistakes that I've found. The frets don't lock, so I have to tune it every other day. // 8
Reliability & Durability: This guitar would be a good one to play live. The strap buttons are pretty solid. I reccomend a locking strap (that's what I have) so the strap will have a firm hold on the button. I personally don't take very much risks. I would have a backup guitar if I were playing live. But yes, I can depend on it. I have had this guitar for 7 months now, and I play it all the time. The only thing wrong with the finish now is that it has tons of scratches on it, since I am so clumsy. // 6
Impression: Like I said earlier, I am a punk rocker. Not really a good match, but it's still a nice guitar. I'm planning to buy a Jackson soon. If it was stolen, I would be so f--kin' mad but I wouldn't buy it again. I love the look, I love the sound. I hate that I am so stupid to get so many scratches on it. // 6

: Price Paid: £180 Pros:
Amazingly full- toned considering its body size and depth. The double cut-a-away feature makes playing high up on the fret board easy, and also makes the guitar look pretty damn original. I'd recommend Light-gauge (10s or 11s) strings if your planning on letting the guitar be as bright as possible. Cons:
the pick-up input nut tends to come loose, meaning that the input falls into the body of my guitar, so I have to remove all the strings and then fix it, which is somewhat annoying, and there is ocassionally a slight buzz on the strings, if they're older than about a month. As well as this, the feedback that comes hand in hand with a semi-acoustic can get overpowering when playing loud gigs.
Overall, I'd be pissed if it broke. Seriously pissed.

: I played this guitar at one of the local shops. It was black. It's a very interesting guitar, the body is just heavy enough so that it doesn't neck dive on you, it feels very balanced. I haven't played that many acoustic guitars though because I mostly try out the electric gibsons and fenders :P POSTED: 06/14/2008 - 03:06 am / quote|
