Classic Rock Guitar Solo For Sale (2024 Update)

I really like the headstock shape and angle on this guitar, it stays in tune better than others. It came with a set of really crunchy pickups they were fine just not my style. I replaced them with a set of Lace Alumitone's, man do they sound good. I got it for a reasonable price so I don't mind doing any upgrades as these were low budget anyways.electronwraith

I bought a Cort CR250 but you sent a Cort CR50 instead. Then I had mailed at least 5-6 times and got no replies. I called numerous times and every time it said all executives are busy. Then after I added a post in FB you guys called. You couldn't arrange for a pick-up of the incorrect delivery (i.e, Cort CR50). You said you wouldn't send the guitar i ordered till you receive the Cort CR50. Then you asked me to carry that 8 kg guitar and send it to you for which you will reimburse the amount. I did that, more than 2 weeks back, and I am still waiting for the reimbursement.Manaswi A.

I purchased this Dean ML based on my appreciation for Dime and simply because teenage me committed to owning one someday. I found a pic that I took with Dime which reminded me of being in the front row watching him jam away on his Dime Slime years ago. For me, this purchase was primarily motivated by nostalgia, expecting build quality to be sort of, ok. I have to say, this guitar exceeded my expectations. Slight disclaimer: I purchased this item knowing I would immediately upgrade most of the hardware and adjust things to make it more comfortable for my playing. 1) It is a fantastic base instrument. It plays fairly well as sold. This was my first experience with a Floyd Rose Special. Also, it will definitely be my last. I played it stock for about 2 weeks to get a good feel for it before changing anything. It’s a great playing guitar. 2) Every review I saw said that the finish was amazing and pictures just couldn’t do it justice. I agree. They did a great job on the neck and body of this guitar. It’s flawless. 3) Everything was to spec on mine. Action, truss rod, intonation, fret, bridge and pickup height, all perfect. My fretboard had a somewhat excessive amount of dye on it but nothing too crazy. The nut on mine was clearly cut too deep leaving the high e in permanent sitar mode with fret buzz. So, quality control could be an issue. For my needs this wasn’t a problem as I had already decided on replacing virtually all hardware with new parts that I had on hand from a project that I decided not to restore. 4) The pickups sound great. The Dime Slime nailed the Pantera tones, not surprising. I was surprised by the classic/southern rock and soloist tones I was able to get with minor eq adjustments. Clear and warm through the drive/distortion. It does jazz and country pretty well too. It has a very balanced sound to it which I was not expecting. I’ve played it on three different amps with the same results. Great. This is a great buy. A solid guitar as is. However, in my case, this guitar didn’t really come to life until I did what I did: OFR Hot Rod, brass block,springs, some shielding, etc. Now, what really irritates me is that it plays a lot better than a few of my guitars that were either at or almost double the cost of the Dime Slime.

Not a V type of player. I like Wilco, the Pixies, the Smiths, Stone Roses, Courtney Barnett, etc. So when I saw Ryan Adams rocking a V by that other manufacturer that starts with G, I started thinking about the V body style. I liked this model because it was at the right price point and had the tradition V body style, if you don't think too much about the headstock. This guitar probably hasn't gotten any love because I don't see it as your typical Dime type guitar, and its not your typical vintage Flying V. The pickups are not high enough gain to get love from the shredders and the Headstock probably turns some people off. What I found is a pretty great guitar with some help. First, the action was high. I lowered the bridge significantly. The good news is that the frets are good I didn't run into any buzziness after lowering the action a little lower than I thought I could get away with. Next, the pickups needed adjustment. They were pretty low. I brought them up a little and found that the sound filled out and got chimey like it should. I adjusted the pole pieces to match the fretboard radius and viola! Most of these guitars have good pickups and don't need an immediate change. Folks, you need to learn how to properly adjust your guitar pickups! Then figure out if you need something different. PS adjust these pickups on a clean channel, you need to hear the guitar not distortion. Long story short, this is a great guitar. It shouldn't be your main axe, but its a great conversation piece that sounds better than it should. I feel like I discovered a diamond in the rough. P.S. The guitar is really light and comfortable to play with a strap.Fred

Great present for my electric guitar playing father. All the songs are well known and my dad loves it. I will recommend the book to everybody who wants to learn all this famous songs.oancojocar-0

Nice book for learning Solos for the guitar. Differing levels for learning. This book has a great song selection and plenty of choices to keep you busy for a while.SANDY

…not really for beginners. With Nefertiti, as with most of the arrangements, you can cut corners on what would be easier to play for you when you're not playing to the CD. It took me three months back in '09 to master just over 10 of the songs and 'Four' is easier to jam out on keyboard, which is why I'm buying this Songbook again after having lost it. Only SOME of the Transcriber's fingerings, for economy and speed of regular performance are too hard to pull off like he does. Who does he think he is, Holdsworth?But it's an excellent purchase. 99% 🙂RobertHuffine

This book advertises it is Guitar Worlds top 100 guitar solos of all time, it is not. It is mostly songs from that list; however, there are several substitutions. So the list isn't what it says it is, what about the music? The music has several problems. Worst of all, the solo for November Rain is totally wrong. Not "doesn't sound right" wrong, but completely not any one of the 3 solos for the song at all. Some of the songs are ok, some are also "problematic". If you can snag a used copy for cheap, that is about all it's worth.Andy

I like the many forms of musical notation included and the background on the songs. If you can read, or find, the notes in the musical notation, then you can practice these riffs.Meow Max Super Commander ... 3.0

This is the first Acoustic/electric that I have owned that I actually love playing. The action is great even with the large gauge acoustic strings on it. Comes with a very nice gig-bag/case. I love the way the neck and back of the guitar looks. I also love the Strat 5-way switch that selects the degree and type of acoustic sound. The only downside with this guitar is the cover that serves as a cover for the electronics and pick guard. It looks cheap, more like a decal than a cover. I think Fender can do better on this detail for the price of the guitar. However, if you can get past that then it is a fine playing and sounding guitar. I have owned several Acoustic and Acoustic/Electric guitars. The action on even high-priced acoustics was so terrible I just ended up selling them. I also do not like the large back ends of most acoustic and acoustic electric guitars, but this guitar is small and easy to play. I would give it an A-.Bill

The research I did on trying to learn more about this instrument via general internet, YouTube, assorted standard Music Company's like Sam Ash; Sweetwater; Guitar Center; Alamo; and other assorted Music Guitar critics provided a good array of opinions and product test results that produced a positive majority with impressive perspectives for the instrument I purchased. The Fender American Acoustasonic Stratocaster Acoustic-Electric Guitar Cocobolo I purchased from Sam Ash was not a disappointment. Aside from the 10 different options of Guitar unique sounds it provides from Acoustic and Electric mixes. The one-of-a-kind Cocobolo wood identifies a further fingerprint in supporting its own private one-of-a-kind signature sound with relationship to the Cocobolo wood unique to it alone. That just blows me away with how special the sound of specialty signature sound it produces with the ten different built in technical sounds the Fender Guitar company developed with this special edition. I feel overwhelmed in learning to continue how to play this guitar. It allows me so many more possibilities with playing soft country to hard rock a really strong guitar enjoyment experience.Guitar Enthusiast

Overall, I am very happy with this guitar. It exudes classic Fender looks and tone. The quality and craftsmanship are decent for the price point. I have a US Tele and, after putting some TLC into this player strat, it feels and plays almost as good as the Tele. I would give it five stars if it were not for fretwork that was needed. Body – The finish and surf pearl color are gorgeous. The wood grain is barely visible (raised) so I would not say the finish is flawless, but the grain is very subtle and adds character in my opinion. The routed cavities for the electronics (top) and the tremolo springs (back) are precisely cut and clean. The electronics cavity was even finished with black paint. Neck – The finish and appearance are great. However, all 22 frets had sprouted; some as much as 1/32". I can't say this is a craftsmanship issue as the frets were probably fine when it was assembled. It must have been a very high humidity environment, though. Nevertheless, after painstakingly filing and redressing all 44 fret ends it feels good. The frets themselves were well seated and leveled. The 3rd and 11th frets were a few thousands of an inch high, but not enough to cause any buzzing issues. The frets were well rounded and polished. Hardware – The tuners are just okay. One of them feels a little rough turning, and they seem to have a low turning ratio making it very touchy to dial in perfect pitch. The 2-point fulcrum tremolo bridge seems like a better design than the traditional (six screw) bridges, but I did not test it. I prefer to block them for more stable tuning, which worked great with this bridge. I have upgraded electronics I had planned to install in this guitar, but the stock pickups aren't bad. They are very quiet and have good tone – there is no rush to replace them. Setup was a breeze. Truss rod adjustment was smooth, nut slots were to spec, and intonation was perfect. The action needed adjustment since I blocked the tremolo, but that was easy.Dave S.

Justin is a brilliant tutor.I am 64 and have played guitar for 50 years and have learnt more in the last year than the previous 49!. This is great book for rockers and I am getting younger every day!nigelt3793

A great selection of rock songs. I'm a beginner but already there are songs here that I can attempt and others for me to aspire to and work towards. Highway to hell nailed, next on my list is Teenage kicks by the Undertones. I advise using the book in conjunction with Justin's website – his videos make understanding the tabs, working out the rhythm and playing the song much easier than the book alone.Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

One of the Very Best, if not the Best Books on learning and remembering Scale Patterns as well as not so typical ways of using Pentatonics for the Rock Guitarist.clittlern1

Dave Ruben is a good instructor for this book/CD. I've been playing for a number of years and I picked up some new stuff as well as discovering some new ways of playing things that I have played for a while. The CD really made things easier for me, as I play by ear. Joe in Nacogdochesjoes9119

It's an okay book.. but not really what I were hoping to find. Its riffs are more "jazz style blues" ..I were hoping it to be more of a "Delta blues or Texas blues" style ..but is more like Chicago style jazz blues, involving a lot of finger picked riffs.jwj71874_3
