Buying Guitars from Sweetwater... - The Gear Page
网页2019年12月27日 · My recommendation is that if you are capable of developing the skills involved, and if you have the self discipline to do good work, that you learn to set up your own guitars. You will save a vast amount of money while getting results that fit your own personal specs. Mike@539 and MountainCraft. M.
Do you actually wait 24 hours to open a guitar box after shipping?
网页2020年4月27日 · During the winter months I open poly finished electric guitars immediately. I let nitro finished electric guitars and all acoustic guitars sit until the box reaches room temperature. That’s usually around 2-3 hours. I’ve followed this system Since 2005 with no issues. I’ve bought many guitars online since then. I.
Negotiating price on a guitar at Sweetwater? | The Gear Page
网页2018年11月23日 · Regular price was $3600. SW offered to knock off a whopping $300 for me. I got it from MF for $2880 (and another $230 back in rewards on top of the 20% off). MF sent me multiple pictures of the actual guitar, went over it before shipping, restrung it with Elixirs for me, and shipped it overnight free of charge.
PRS SE 594 McCarty - An Honest Review: Now With Mods!
网页2023年3月22日 · Since this is a 594 I decided to make a new bone nut for it and it is a great improvement. Incidental stuff: I changed the knobs out for some Amber Lampshades and replaced the strap buttons with the standard PRS ones (aka Fender bass buttons). I use these on all of my guitars that don't have straplocks.
Plek. Worth it, or pass? - The Gear Page
网页2,706. Oct 17, 2013. #4. Got the low down from a friend who works at one of the two major guitar companies.

Sweetwater set ups? - The Gear Page
网页18,739. Feb 29, 2016. #3. Sweetwater claims to put every guitar through a 55 point check, so I'm assuming that includes adjusting action and intonation. In my case, they did the inspection/adjustments on the Guild Starfire IV a bought just last year and it arrived in satisfactory condition.
Eastman SB59/v 2022 - Mini review - The Gear Page
网页2022年6月18日 · That second guitar really is the best bang-for-your-buck guitar I've ever owned. It was about $1250-1500 range used, weighs in at about 7.2-7.3 lbs, has a round C, 59 thickness profile, and a nice flame top. All the other Eastmans I've had were really great, but this one edges the rest out somehow.
Buying a guitar from Musicianfriends vs Sweetwater
网页2020年2月12日 · And I have a regular salesman at MF who takes care of me. Sweetwater does take pics and weigh many guitars. So if you see one you really want based on look or weight, there will be less surprise. Between these two retailers, I buy about 4 guitars at MF for every 1 guitar I buy at SW. Agree.
Eastman Guitars - Are they really that good? - The Gear Page
网页3,377. Oct 31, 2016. #1. I've seen a lot of post on Eastman guitars, most which have been positive. But I am really curious how they stack up to models like the ES-335 or ES-175's in particular. I'm interested in overall construction, necks, pickups, binding, nut quality etc. A comparison on these on a 1-10 scale would be great.
Are Suhr guitars really worth the asking price? | The Gear Page
网页2017年3月16日 · It might even come close to the level of a Suhr guitar. But this would probably take $1200 to $1500 in parts cost, not including any assembly or setup charge. And if you ever wanted to sell that guitar, you would be lucky to get $500 for it.
