This is the most complete unbiased review of the MS450 you will find, and includes an accompanying 12 minute video guitar review. I won’t keep you waiting. For the price, this is the best guitar you can buy. For beginners. For intermediate players. For seasoned vets who want a decent 2nd or 14th guitar. The …

This is the most comprehensive review of the LTD EC-10 beginner’s heavy metal guitar you will find. I played this guitar for over 10 hours before making this review and I’ve included a 15 minute video to go along with it. In general, I’m a fan of the LTD brand, but I previously only ever …

A comprehensive review of the Placentia series guitar and why maybe it’s a bad idea to buy one.
Last updated April 13, 2022 This is the most comprehensive unbiased review of the PAC112V electric guitar you will find and includes 15 minutes of video. So as not to bury the lede: I like this guitar … mostly. It’s not perfect and it’s not for everyone but I’ve spent over 20 hours playing it …

Last updated April 12, 2022 This is the most comprehensive Squier Classic Vibe ’60s Jazzmaster review online and also includes 30+ minutes of video footage. I will, of course, answer whether I think you should or should not buy a CV Jazzmaster or not. But it’s not an easy answer and depends a lot on …

My goal with TWiG is to bring you unique or maybe not widely shared stories and information. Some weeks there’s almost too much to choose from, but for the past couple of weeks there has been a lot less. I assume it’s due to the holidays and the whole industry being focused on holiday sales …
I hope you got through Black Friday week relatively unscathed. There weren’t any deals worth a damn as far as I was concerned, except for effects pedals. But considering the state of the guitar market that’s not too surprising. (I did re-up my JamPlay membership, though, because it’s got a lot of fun lessons.) “Fun” …

Happy Monday! I posted a new review last week. The Glarry GTL got the Art of Shred in-depth written and video review treatment. If you’ve been thinking about buying basically the cheapest guitar you can buy then you really need to read and watch the review first. What else did I find interesting this week? …
