    Thanks Brockyman. If 2 of us have missing reviews, that's intriging.

  • I've just ordered one. I added a 99p firewire cable to take it over £49.99 and get free postage.

    So thanks op and everyone else for the comments.

    Best wishes, Neil

    Intriguing indeed as it makes their reviews biased and misleading. :(

    Well they're certainly not unique in doing that, I'm always suspicious if I don't see negative reviews listed. I recently left a negative review on a well known computer game retailer (Gameplay) site and it disappeared within a day or two:rolleyes:

    and you get £10 off if you pay using google checkout so that's £49.99 and you can use quidco too :) 0.1% (laughable!!) so that's £49.95
  • Well, received both Les Paul and Fender style guitars. Build quality isn't bad for both. Tunning is held reasonably ok even with the cheap strings! Action is a little high on both and and no much scope for adjustment without getting fret buzz. Necks on both were nice and straight. Sound and action from LP reminds me of Saxon LPs from mid 70's - not bad! Pot's and switches don't seem too bad - time will tell - but of course not in same league as the real pro product - not as heavy and smooth! The Fender feels a little cheaper than the LP and reminds me more of a Telecaster rather than Strat, but not bad for an intro. Both guitars are very playable compared to many previously sold cheap copies - which put off a lot of new players! Some new decent strings will help to improve sound and for the more serious, a set of Dimarzio's to take the overall ound to the next level! The little amps do the job - nice to see the distortion option. Not bad little packages for the money and should bring hours of pleasure for both old and new axe people out there without breaking the bank! Overall, my preference is the LP which just feels like it has a little more quality but the Fender ain't bad!


    I have ordered one of these guitars, but as I am a beginner, could you or someone else in the know put up an ebay link to a set of the right sort of strings (a good set that will improve the guitar)

    cheers

    Have a search for Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings - they're very popular and always availble on Ebay. I got 3 sets for a tenner. Much better than the fencing wire supplied!
