RainSong Hybrid Series H-DR1100N2 Dreadnought

Monday, February 28, 2011 | Posted in
Carbon-fiber acoustic guitars are often discussed as alternatives to guitars made from traditional tone woods, but the instruments have progressed to such a level that they deserve to be discussed on their own merits just like any other guitar. While advantages like their resistance to problems caused by severe climate conditions make carbon-fiber acoustics very appealing, many of today’s composite guitars are simply great-sounding instruments that play exceptionally well.

Perhaps the only disadvantage is that carbon-fiber acoustics are usually rather expensive. RainSong’s new Hybrid Series guitars bring the cost of a composite acoustic down to earth, yet these models offer most, if not all, of the same advantages of higher priced instruments. As the name suggests, RainSong’s Hybrid Series acoustics are built from a combination of carbon- and glass-fiber construction, which brings down the cost of producing an instrument without sacrificing the best attributes of a composite instrument. The H-DR1100N2 is a traditional dreadnought model featuring RainSong’s acclaimed N2 neck—the Hybrid Series also offers a deep-body grand auditorium and a slim-body orchestra model.

Washburn WD 20SCE Acoustic-Electric Guitar

| Posted in
Economic times may be extremely tough, but that doesn’t mean you have to put off the purchase of a fine acoustic guitar until the next decade (or lifetime). Today’s guitar companies are producing a variety of instruments that provide cash-strapped players with incredible value. The Washburn WD 20SCE acoustic-electric model is a perfect example, providing a variety of upscale features, like a solid spruce top and a Fishman preamp/pickup system, at a low street price that even the most down-and-out guitarist can afford.

FEATURES

Though it lists at around $500, the WD 20SCE looks much more expensive, thanks to its attractive solid spruce top, satin-finished mahogany neck, rosewood back and sides, distinctive rosette pattern, and bound body, neck and headstock. These are further embellished through the inclusion of a bone nut and compensated saddle, die-cast chrome tuners, and a stylish rosewood headstock overlay adorned with tasteful inlays. These features alone make the WD 20SCE worth every penny of its price, but to top it off Washburn has equipped the guitar with a Fishman Isys+ preamp/pickup system, which features a chromatic tuner, a phase switch, and volume, bass and treble controls.

Construction is excellent, and the traditional dreadnought body shape features a tasteful cutaway that provides easy access to the upper frets without detracting from the guitar’s full, deep sound.

Delivering classic dreadnought tone with rich bass, warm mids and sparkling treble, the WD 20SCE sounds as good as it looks. The Fishman Isys+ system preserves the guitar’s warm and natural tone, and the EQ controls let you dial back the bass and boost the treble for razor-sharp rock rhythms that cut through a dense electric mix.

My test guitar had a near-perfect setup right out of the box. Electric rockers will appreciate the extremely comfortable flat neck profile, wide nut, moderately low action and medium-profile frets that make the guitar play almost as fast as a solidbody shred machine. With the exception of a few minor cosmetic imperfections in the spruce top and internal wiring that flaps around inside the body when the guitar is moved aggressively, the WD 20SCE compares quite favorably with other acoustic-electrics costing three to four times as much.

Epiphone EJ200CE Buyer's Guide

Thursday, February 24, 2011 | Posted in , ,
Epiphone takes its famous guitar reputation to another level with the Epiphone EJ200CE cutaway acoustic electric guitar. The guitar is based on Gibson's flagship Hummingbird series and enhances overall flexibility and playability with addition of the cutaway & electronics.

If you are seeking a wonderful sounding acoustic electric guitar and are considering buying an Epiphone EJ200CE, here are some points about this great musical instrument and suggestions for purchasing one without emptying your wallet.

Epiphone Sound Magic

The Epiphone EJ200CE is constructed with the sound which has made the series well-known: a great, clean ambient acoustic sound.

What makes this instrument's sound special is the almost perfect sound on higher registers with deep, resonant tones from the lower registers even if played with no amplification.

The guitar then takes this sound and reproduces it perfectly when amplified. Epiphone have achieved this with their eSonic2 system and 'NanoFlex' pickup, which is equipped with seven sensitive sensors which amplify string vibrations and resonance from guitar body.

So string bends and slides aren't lost in amplification, making it ideal as a lead or rhythm instrument.

Vintage meets Modern

The guitar features exquisite structure and design. The guitar has a jumbo Maple body, that is amazingly light-weight, and a solid Spruce top.

The fretboard is Rosewood with nicely designed crown inlay, Maple neck and features body, neck and headstock binding. Epiphone have retained a significant feature from the Hummingbird: the ornate, floral pick guard design and included the Epiphone mustache bridge.

The class of this guitar is seen in gold hardware, that sets perfectly against the Natural, Black or Vintage Sunburst finishes.

How to get

The Epihone is created as a low priced guitar although sound, building and playability make this the ideal choice for starters or specialists as well.

Before purchasing, make sure to play it with and without amplification to make sure that the quality of sound is excellent. You need to make sure that string intonation is correct.

Check out the guitar finish against a light for blemishes or tiny scratches. When you're satisfied with the sound, intonation, amplification and design, one last check out the balance of the guitar and you might make sure that your musical instrument is a great choice, that will last you for years in the future.

Good luck with your guitar search.
