I haven't played one since my teens, but I got an urge to "revisit" the instrument with a view to playing pieces I enjoy (jazz and pop) rather than the dull concertos thrust upon me by my childhood teacher. My... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~209849519748 Mon, 31 Oct 2005 09:08:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_209849519748?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_197563158148?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author joeklein - The FG403S is the lowest priced solid body dreadnaught acoustic Yamaha currently offers. I bought mine new about a year ago for $349 Australian, which is about US$250. I use it mainly to accompany my singing students. These are the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~197563158148 Sun, 2 Oct 2005 23:44:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_197563158148?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_197033037444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author joeklein - Never has the concept of "you get what you pay for" been better illustrated than with the Squier Strat. As a guitar teacher I have seen it's popularity sky-rocket over the past 10 years. Currently about 2 out of three of my students turn up to their... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~197033037444 Sun, 25 Sep 2005 11:01:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_197033037444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_196605546116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author joeklein - I needed a bass guitar for my music studio. I wanted an inexpensive instrument, but one that will sound good on recordings. I am primarily a guitar player, and know exactly what to look for when purchasing six stringers, but when it comes to basses I am... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~196605546116 Mon, 19 Sep 2005 10:44:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_196605546116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_173093850756?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author joeklein - I bought this guitar at the end of June 2004 for AU$599 (US$450) with the intention of using it as a utility/silent practice instrument as well as a backup for my guitar students to play during lessons - as they frequently don&#146t bother bringing their... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~173093850756 Fri, 11 Feb 2005 23:24:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_173093850756?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_170401107588?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author joeklein - I had the opportunity to play one of my student&#146s 2003 LP Standard the other day. I owned a 1970&#146s model about ten years ago and holding a very similar guitar was a pleasant trip down memory lane. The beauty with Gibsons (and also with Fenders)... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~170401107588 Thu, 20 Jan 2005 08:20:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_170401107588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_169149894276?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author joeklein - As I mentioned in my previous reviews, I am an Australian guitar teacher and my students often come to me for advice regarding gear purchase.

It is mostly asked by intermediate level students who feel that they have outgrown their first guitar. The answer I give is based on... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~168901840516 Sun, 9 Jan 2005 00:38:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_168901840516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_168694419076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author joeklein - I bought my classic 30 in March 2004. Peavey was ditching their Australian distributor and it was a case of "everything marked down to half price - all stock must go". Prior to this fire sale the street price here was AU$1,350 or about US$1,000, a price... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~168694419076 Fri, 7 Jan 2005 11:54:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_168694419076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_168479592068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author joeklein - Here in Australia - You can probably tell I'm not American from the way I spell centre - There are only two automotive brand choices if you are, or want others to think that you are an iconoclast.
