Electric Guitars

Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty Three is a super hit electric guitar. As its name indicates, the LP Black Beauty is the pinnacle in elegance in look and tone. With the help of the third Humbucker pickup, this custom guitar is equipped with features that offer amazing delivery of sound and expression.

The black beauty:

The Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty Three electric guitar is really a beauty. Gold hard ware on the black body! We cannot think of a better combo with the mother of pearl inlays. It features 3 Alnico Classic Humbucker pickups in order to extend to your tonal range, a set of slim-taper mahogany neck, a solid mahogany body, 22 fret rosewood fingerboard, cream body, fingerboard, headstock binding and block inlays. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece of the Black Beauty offers more sustain and makes the process of string changing very easy.

Reliability and durability:

The durability of the Epiphone guitar is unquestionable and the finish is lasting. This electric guitar is dependable and is good for the gigs. However, we found that the factory strings seem to break off quite easily when played heavily; so we would advise you to change the strings as soon as you get it. Overall, it is a reliable guitar.

Sound and Action:

The sound is meaty, round and clean, not like a Start Type. It can basically play any style like metal, rock, jazz and blues. It is an extremely versatile baby aided by its middle hummer. The rhythm pickup possesses a great full and clean tone, whereas the treble gives a more raw sound; however, the guitar can sound great if used properly. The guitar has a pretty good variety of sound with some good sustain. We have the tone on 10 for more power. You will not be able to get a twangy sound, like in the intro of the “Smells like teen spirit”; but the tone is really phat sounding because of the thick 9 and heavy mahogany body. The action on the guitar is good and is also lovely to be played on.

Warranty:

Epiphone graces its Les Paul Black Beauty 3 with limited lifetime warranty.

Verdict:

The Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty 3 Electric Guitar is the one for those who looking for a superior Les Paul that delivers that extra. It looks great and sounds amazing too. We would recommend this guitar for a first electric guitar as it sets you up nicely for the real deal.

With a contoured solid Basswood body, it has closed gold plated machine heads. The string and strap buttons are given a matching gold coloured finishing. We suspect if Yamaha has employed a fashion designer with the guitar blazing in its black and gold combo. Overall, the looks and the feel of the guitar are awesome.

The basic specs and controls:

On the part of specifications, the selection is very neat and has been chosen to meet the needs of all styles of guitarists. The Bridge is of Vintage Tremolo kind and the aesthetic half of Yamaha pops up here again by offering the guitar with a matching tremolo arm. It sports the standard maple neck and rosewood fingerboard and the frets are lapped. On the part of pickups, the Gigmaker ERG121C Black Electric Guitar has two humbucker pickups and a single coil pickup. What is the great deal of an electric guitar if you are not able to control it? And Yamaha has made no mistakes on its part by including a five way pickup selector switch along with master volume and tone controls. With the help of the multiple pick-up switching, the guitar can be tuned to suite any style.

A setting for you:

If you are one of those who play the eighty’s metal like us, you will be able to get an excellent sound with this amp. And the setting that can get the best out of this guitar is, bass about 2 – 3, the treble 5 – 6 and the volume at 3 – 4.

The package and its quality:

The Yamaha Gigmaker ERG121C Pro Guitar Package includes the electric guitar itself, a 15W amp with distortion (GA15), a set of spare strings, Plectrums, strap, electronic tuner YT100, a carry bag and an Instant Guitar tutor DVD.

The guitar amplifier provided has drive and clean channels with three band equalizers including treble, middle and bass, the tuner YT100 sports bright indicator LEDs and the gig bag offered cannot get more stylish. Though the amp is small, it works well and is lots of fun when switched on to the drive mode. We are not happy with the working of the tuner though, we would recommend you to get one separately.

Warranty:

Yamaha offers its Gigmaker ERG121C Electric Guitar one year limited warranty.

The Yamaha Gigmaker ERG121C Electric Guitar Pro Pack is never short when it comes to the style factor.

The choice and selection are much narrow in the smaller guitars, that is the ¾ and ½ size guitars. The guitar should not be too long a reach that it strains the wrist of the kid. You must not make a guitar selection for your kid based on the age specified by the manufacturer alone as their guidelines are generalised and may overlap.

If you are looking for an electric guitar for your child, then you are just in the right page. As you might be already aware, if your child is below eleven years of age, they will actually need smaller sized guitars which are usually referred to as half size or ¾ size electric guitars.  In the following review, we will be seeing about one such guitar that is of ¾ size, the Volcano Red Children Electric Guitar.

Designed for kids:

The Volcano Red VE-12-RD kids guitar is a very well constructed guitar with a solid body and the hardware is mostly the same as what you would get out of a full sized electric guitar. With the bright red, high gloss finish, this one is truly an eye grabber. If your kid is not very fond of red colour, they have options too, as this model is also available in black, blue, pink and sunburst finishes.

It is probably one of the easiest guitars for your kid to start learning on. It features a double cut away body, rosewood fingerboard, 21 frets, maple neck, three single coil pickups, six per side configuration, chrome machine head hardware, shallow D neck profile, 14” fingerboard radius and rosewood fingerboard material, you really cannot go wrong with this small electric guitar. The controls included are, a volume pot, a tone control and a five way selector switch.

Custom built:

The Volcano Red ¾ size guitar has smaller hands so that your kids can develop his or her guitar skills at a quicker pace. Unlike the full sized electric guitars, this ¾ size guitar features a shorter scale length and thinner neck, to make sure that your kid is not under any strain and also will be having fun while learning.  Since the guitar has a scale length of 22.75”, it is best suited for kids aged between six and nine.

Sound:

Since the Volcano Red Kids Electric Guitar is relatively cheaper than the full sized guitars, do not expect them to sound like the more expensive full sized models. This electric guitar sounds great when amplified and has the same pickups as a full sized electric guitar, and the solid wood body of the guitar helps it to keep the guitar tone in tact too.

Verdict:

The Volcano Red ¾ size electric guitar is great for your kid, especially at this low price. Once your child gets older and proves that he or she is serious about playing the guitar, then, you could think of investing in a more expensive model. With a good built quality, great looks and a decent sound, your kid is guaranteed to be the coolest wee guitarist around once they get hold of this guitar.
