Bottom of the Barrel

Posted by C.J. Pistol from Jersey Shore on Dec 29, 2008

Experience w/product: I have used it

They must be handing out the guitars that failed inspection. My 1st one showed up very broken with a parabola-shaped break in the neck. The 2nd one showed up with the high E string unplayable for several frets. Both came from Overstock.com. It took 4 calls to handle the return. Earlier customers received working guitars, but not me. Even my replacement was broken! Wow!

I couldn't resist picking up this fun and frivolous item. The graphics are really amazing in person. Not only is this a great wall piece, it actually sounds pretty great. This would make a cool gift for a Dita Von Teese-type dame.

Great Little Parlor Guitar

It's a great little guitar to keep in the parlor or to travel with. I wasn't expecting much when I ordered it but it turned out to be better quality than expected. The action wasn't too bad and the intonation was fine. It stayed in tune great and it is easy to play on the couch or lazy boy because it's small. I own 3 american strats and a les paul and yet I enjoy messing around on this little guitar. Pick one up today, you can't go wrong for the cash.

Good tone and great size

I recently purchased a G4530 Americana Series Wild West Sweethearts guitar for my wife. (I wanted to check it out too!) I am very pleased with the finish, graphics, and playability of this little ax. The strings provided didn't have the best tone so I swapped them for a set of Martins. The tone and projection from this little beauty is amazing. The bass wile not booming is still full and the twang is all Gretsch. The action is very low with almost no buzz. A little truss rod tweek and viola no buzz at all. I am very happy with my purchase and my wife really loves her new showpiece.

It's kinda become my favorite guitar!

I bought this as kind of a joke gift for a musician friend, but when it arrived it was love at first sight! This is not a toy. First, it looks great. The graphics look like they've actually been silk-screened on and not just some cheesy stuck on decal. Ok, so I tuned it up and it really does sound wonderful (y'know, for a budget axe): good balance between highs and lows, in tune up and down the neck (which, by the way is beautifully finished and feels great). I've never had a 3/4 size guitar and it really is the perfect sittin'-around-in-your-easy-chair-figurin'-stuff-out guitar. I'm keepin' it.
