How bad is the neck dive on this model? I am teetering between this and a Epiphone Thunderbird Classic-IV PRO...

Well, mine is pretty well balanced. There's not much difference between those two, but I like better the flat black finish on the goth.

I own the both of them, and honestly I prefer the goth most. The sound is at more crisp and deep. Due to the body structure there is a slight difference in the dive. But nothing noticeable. If you want my personal opinion I would go with the Epiphone iv goth. I use it for live shows and have had zero problems with it. OVERALL go with the Goth mate. Cheers!

For me It's great on my electric, I have to adjust it a little for my acoustic but my acoustics action is awful. Still works fine.

It sounds just as good for $50 as it did on my electric. But hey! Just got the WET reverb yesterday. .. beautiful man.Biyang reverb will be fine with acoustic electric/electric till you get something better! Hope this helps!

I think all capos will have some effect on tone. (Read my review of the G7th.). For me, this capo ended what seemed like a never ending search for one that is acceptable - this capo was one of those game changers that took me to the next level. Being an acoustic / vocal soloist I use a capo to enable me to play in just the right key for my voice while at the same time playing chords I'm comfortable with. The tone and sustain while using this capo changed all of my "B List" songs to "A List" because of the improved sound. I think the combination of the "self ratcheting" closure of this device and wide rubber pads lining the upper and lower "jaws" enables this improved tone. In addition to improved tone over other capos I find this capo has less impact on the tuning of the guitar as well. I use this for a few hours every day on my Taylor acoustic electric which is my "go to" guitar out my 12 acoustic electrics. My Taylor stays in tune really well and I notice this capo has signifcantly less impact on tuning compared to other capos. One final but important note on this capo... For me, when using the capo in the normal position (flat rubber pad on the strings & opening to the jaws facing the floor) when my hand contacted the end of the top bar of the capo I found it to be a rough and irritating surface. A very acceptable workaround that put my hand in contact with a much smoother surface was to use the capo "backwards" that is, flat rubber pad on the strings, however, jaws opening toward the ceiling. I will continue to buy these capos - they are a little more expensive but they are amazing !!!! If cost isn't an issue and you are a performer who can't live without this capo, buy two so you have a backup just in case you misplace one or one "walks away"...

Yup. Standard round, guitar-style neck.You are gonna want to file the bridge down (or replace it completely - cheap wood that fits poorly - investment of a couple bucks and 30 minutes of your time)But for the price it is actually totally playable and doesn't sound bad at all.

Hi Garret,While I don't have the expertise to address how it would work in your specialty instrument (as guitar-ish as it may seem), I really like my Fishman. I do wish, however, I had purchased Fishman's dual/hybrid (pickup and mic) version instead. I miss some of the highs and tones I get from the strings which I believe the added microphone would have captured.Best wishes!

Yes its great! Only downside I can think of was that it was a bit heavy due to it being some kind of layered all laminate. I ended up getting a baby taylor instead of this. I preferred the sound and feel of that guitar better but its up to you!

It thin, fast and very comfortable. Taylor has some of the best necks in the business. If you are used to Martin/Gibsons type necks you will find the Taylor neck are a lot easier to play.

Aloha., Were is the Squire you have is made/year/model? There are a couple of neck pocket's for Squire's. These necks are solid. I have used it on several guitar's.The fret's are OK. They are a little narrow. They provide good tone.They are great for the Strat sound. As far as Metal/Heavy distortion it is okay,a little heavy on the treble side. The frets are filed but could use a finishing buff and polish .I would definitely use this neck for the classic Stratcaster tone. Email me with the Year/Model/country of origin and can help to identify if this neck will work for you. Have a great day 'ROCK ON' Aloha., Were is the Squire you have is made/year/model?

I concur with exactly what jb said... I plugged it into an older Dennon recevier phono jacks and it sounded awful, as soon as plugged in to a aux input, sounded like it should. The only thing I don't like about it is that there is not a little needle lift/drop thingy :) I think the model that replaced the one I bought does have it.

Indoneisa, i wouldnt worry about that tho, if u want a nice acoustic for cheap this is the guitar. It resonates really nice almost like it has an effect. Also, the fret job isnt that bad wich i thouhht it would be when i was purchasing. Its smaller than you think tho so make sure u know what scale guitar yoir looking at before u buy this, it suprised me but im still very sattisfied

I sold mine too as it hums like crazy. I bought the Zoom G1XN Guitar Multi Effects Pedal from Amazon instead. This one has so many good stuffs. I love to use it each time I play guitar in the church. It acts as a great preamp even with effect turned OFF.

I would suggest getting a similar looking guitar rest with all solid tubing that has an adjustable neck (most do) - and use that. The 'portability' of this model is far outweighed, in my opinion, by the sheer inferior quality. This item, as I noted in my review, is not well made and a Fender will be too heavy for it because the stand will topple over if the guitar is brushed.

i searched youtube and have seen numerous vids of how it looks/sounds.. its unbelievable actually, the pups are stock but sound pretty decent for the price, im thinking of ordering this to replicate the JEM7V ibanez

Neck bolts on to the body. Not a beginners build though. Needs a lot of tweeking to get intonation.

The new sound is amazing. I´ve been using the guitar plugged into a BOSS ME-25 and the sound is very good, I hope that in a normal Stompbox (ex. Big Muff) it will be better. If I´ll buy a new strato next years for sure I will replace the bridge pick up for another SSL 5

Im not familiar with Teton or Seagull but in compartison to Fender or Yamaha Taylors sound is more resonant and unmuffled. I prefer Taylor overall.
