"We've been itching to get our hands on this baby for many months now and the timing couldn't be better: we're writing this review on official Iron Maiden Day...As a band, Maiden were honoured with a Fender Strat back in 2001 but the three new axes in this series mark the first occasion that any specific member of the six-string fusillade has been given a signature model...Although a Dave Murray Strat has been sporadically available via Fender Japan for a while now (the HST-57DM), this new US-built model – based on Murray's original guitar that, in turn, was previously owned by Paul Kossoff – is on sale across the globe...The newer guitars are good road guitars..." read more »

"The new Hello Kitty Series from Squier...Features include the face of Hello Kitty appearing on a custom pickguard (front), Hello Kitty logo graphic (back), and a single humbucking pickup with single volume control - simplicity of design and functionality...You get a wonderful looking hello kitty guitar strap along with the amazing looking paint job...Going to be a pain to get anything close to good sound out of this...This company overall has taken the backseat to other modern companies in customer service in my opinion..." read more »

"The Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster Electric Guitar has a proud heritage and a sweet price...Maple topped mahogany with a sweet, understated finish, an ebony fretboard with maple trapezoid inlay, and a rounded '50s profile mahogany neck...The pickup arrangement really sets this Les Paul guitar apart..." read more »

"The original Les Paul model was given the name "Standard" in 1960...Years later, collectors made the name "Standard" retroactive to apply to all the original Les Pauls from 1958 onward which sported sunburst as opposed to gold finishes...Often cited as the world's most desirable vintage electric guitar, the late-50s Les Paul Standard had arrived at the state of grace we all associate with the Les Paul...The ill-conceived trapeze tailpiece had been replaced with the stop tailpiece and the brilliant tune-o-matic bridge, allowing precision adjustment of intonation as well as overall string height adjustment...Aside from those significant positive changes, the Standard was pretty much the same stunning instrument that had made such a big splash with a metal-flake gold paint job in 1952--a carved solid maple top joined to a mahogany back with a mahogany set neck and a rosewood fretboard..." read more »
