The sound of an unplugged electric and feel of a broomstick !

Fri, 24 Jan 2003 19:33:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - I have mixed emotions about this one. There are some excellent reviews and I don't disagree but I would not buy one due to the difficulty holding it.

If you plan to backpack into the wilderness I can understand why this guitar is so...

How can something so GOOD cost so LITTLE ?

Fri, 24 Jan 2003 16:39:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - I have been playing guitar all my life and I cannot understand why I never heard of Larrivee sooner. Thank goodness I have found Larrivee. I have traditionally owned nothing but expensive guitars such as Martin, Gibson and a few others. They each have...

D-Link Air DWL 650 (DWL-650) PC Card Network Adapter: No longer buying Linksys, I like Dlink products better

Fri, 24 Jan 2003 03:23:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - This is a great little wireless network card for your money. There are some things you really should know before buying it. There is a newer model out now called the DWL-650+. If you own a DLink Airplus router or access point you get up to twice the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - With all of the current events and my love of history my son decided to buy me this DVD set (2 discs) as a gift. I am on my 3rd time watching over 5 hours of sharp video with excellent production. The chapters and timeline of events really helps me...

The GHOST is in MY MACHINE :)

Tue, 21 Jan 2003 15:11:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - I recall the first time I ever demonstrated Ghost software years ago in a huge WindowsNT convention. It was a revolutionary product in the PC and server market because, let's face it, windows has the worst built in backup software ever invented. Most...

It's not Dreamweaver but I'm not a Rocket Scientist either !

Tue, 14 Jan 2003 05:15:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - I have owned them all Frontpage 98, 2000, XP. Netscape Gold, Hot Metal Pro, Hot Dog, Claris Home Page, Dream Weaver and just about every WSIWYG html editor ever available. I love and hate them all.

I have Dream Weaver for Mac and PC and I...

It doesn't get any better than Norton Antivirus and Live Update !

Tue, 14 Jan 2003 04:37:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - I have owned many other brands of Antivirus software over the years but Norton Antivirus has emerged on top for the last several years. In fact I have used it exclusively for about 5-7 years. I have seen very few problems years ago but Norton has refined...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - I was not always a fan of Compaq computers but in the past few years I have purchased 2 other Compaq notebooks and had excellent reliability and bug free operation.

This month I ran across a deal I could not refuse online for a new Presario...

The one I chose over many 2.4ghz models but could be even better

Mon, 23 Dec 2002 03:43:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - This phone tested better for voice quality, noise canceling, range, hiss than any 2.4ghz model I tested and I have spend 3-4 weeks buying and returning headset phones that fell sadly short of my expectations. I have never been so utterly disappointed...

Tacoma was a real pleasant surprise ! SUPER VALUE !

Mon, 7 Oct 2002 04:49:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - One word for this all solid wood construction USA made guitar and that is VALUE. This must be a huge secret because I had never even heard of this Tacoma based guitar company. What caught my eye was a sunburst version of this series guitar and the...

A serious MANS guitar or professional session quality !

Mon, 7 Oct 2002 04:23:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - This is another story where I went to demonstrate Gibson's an other brands and walked away with a new guitar. It's a common story for me and I stay in trouble with my wife 90% of the time. This guitar is inspired by the Tony Rice model and is a full...

The HOLY GRAIL of Ragtime Country Blues Fingerstyle

Mon, 7 Oct 2002 03:43:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - The Nick Lucas models were perhaps Gibson's first artist signature models beginning in the 1920s with crooner guitarist Nick Lucas. There were many models. Gibson released a few small reissue batches of this 1930's version during the 1990s and they...

Mon, 7 Oct 2002 02:38:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - This guitar was a surprising pleasure when visiting the local Guitar Center. Unlike the regular J-45 workhorse this one had some things I liked alot better and would make be consider buying this Rosewood J-45 rather than the legendary Mahogany J-45...

The favorite WORKHORSE of Acoustics in the Post WWII era

Tue, 6 Aug 2002 19:38:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - Before I fully review this amazing and wonderful guitar I want to give you a brief history. If you are thinking of buying one I hope this review gives you a better sense of this instrument than provided on other web sites.

Since the late 80's...

Great if you get a good one, otherwise look out !

Mon, 5 Aug 2002 17:07:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - This is a very opinionated review and I hope it does not offend many Fender fans. I just want to outline some of the things a buyer should consider or you may end up with a guitar you dont like.

This model has sturdy tuners and standard USA...

A nice collector guitar and thats about it !

Mon, 5 Aug 2002 14:04:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - UPDATE: Before reading this review please keep in mind that I love this guitar and most Gibsons but I am trying to point out reasons why I would or would not buy it. This is a very fine instrument.

Well I have to agree with the other reviews...

SG Must stand for SUPER GUITAR !

Mon, 5 Aug 2002 13:13:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - I have to agree with the other rave reviews and say this is one of my all time favorite Gibson guitars for many reasons.

Sun, 4 Aug 2002 23:04:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - If you have never owned a great Gibson and thinking of spending alot of money on some other brand or style guitar you should stop for a moment and demonstrate a dot reissue.

TDK Does it again ! Let's BURN ONE !

Sun, 28 Jul 2002 13:39:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - SORRY FOR THE LONG REVIEW.... IT NEEDED IT.

I had a friend constantly complaining about coasters and wasted efforts on his piece of junk burner so I finally had a generous streak one day and gave him my TDK 12X Velocd I bought a few years ago...

I'm playing Robert Johnson ALREADY ! WOW !

Sun, 28 Jul 2002 00:40:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - I owned the tablature book that goes with the Robert Johnson box set for years and just could not decode that stuff into making any sense, even when listening along with the tapes. It was so laborious I lost interest and went back to playing the same old...

Students dream come true for Country Blues and Ragtime !

Sun, 28 Jul 2002 00:15:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dougmjones - This guy really cracks me up with his slow turtle voice and old timer accent and dry sense of humor. He often tells little stories and funny things that keep you interested and covers complex and mind blowing Country Blues and Ragtime tricks in a way...
