"This is the absolute best 'cheap' guitar that a pro or a beginner could buy! Holds tune for years, humbucking pickups sound amazing, action out of the box is wonderful, finish is flat and paint is pretty."
- Pete in Stanhope, NJ
"I'm a total Gibson junkie, except for one Gretsch, and this guitar can hang with guitars that are much more expensive. It still has that Gibson/Epiphone tone, and with a quick setup was ready to play. Whether you have played for 20 years, or 20 minutes, this is a great choice."

"More clear, less 'warm' than the Shure Beta 58A. I prefer the Sennheiser, hands-down. I primarily sing harmony, and find the clarity of this mic allows me to deliver harmonies without crowding the frequency space of the lead vocals."
- A Happy Owner
"With the EQ settings on the various mixers being flat and no processors; this mic is very clear, warm, and to me extremely even. Adjusting EQ is minimal to none at all! Vocals are natural as with mic'd acoustic guitars."

"Tonal versatility is astounding with this deceivingly tiny amplifier. It's so small that you wouldn't expect what's coming out of it...It sounds amazing. From clean as can be to full on face melting the Micro Dark Terror does it well enough...It even has a built in effects loop."
- Robert in Central City, CO
"I don't know what else to say about this teenie tiny head other than wow! I read that you could put it on a 4x12 and had serious doubts it would be very loud or sound good, well it will push a 2x12 & 4x12 and does it rather well...Would definitely recommend this to EVERYBODY that is in the market for a new head!"

"These headphones are incredible...Bass like you wouldn't believe and super clear mids and highs. Also they come with 3 (yes three!!!) different types of cords which are removable. Very comfortable for hours of mixing without fatigue."
- James in Shillington, PA
"I wanted a fantastic pair of cans for less than $200 USD...The M50x is so clear...you can hear everything...The separation is awesome...the bass response is amazing...stop reading and just go get a pair already. You'll be happy that you did."

"Great guitar for the money...it plays and sounds amazing right out of the box. What I love most is the spot on intonation and its ability to stay in tune. Especially after a day's worth of lessons and constant in and out of the car all day. This thing stays in tune better than any other guitar I own...and I've got quite a few."
- Christopher in Rockville Centre, NY
"I'm in love with it! I've played a ton of parlor guitars in my life, but this one beats them all. Great finish, construction and sound. Definitely a blues player's dream!"
- Thomas in Connersville, IN
