Review By: Michal Rating: 5 Excellent Product: Fender CD60 Acoustic Guitar Package in Black Review: The guitar was bought by me as a 'going out' guitar, so far it survived a heavy rain we had recently and i got to say it's built like a tank compared to my previous acoustic. This may be the perfect guitar for me if the fingerboard was rosewood. Sonokeling may appear little odd to beggining guitarists. Overall a great guitar, cant go wrong with the fantastic service provided by Guitarbitz and with Fender name on a 115GBP guitar.

Review By: Dr Ric Rating: 5 Excellent Product: Korg Pandora Personal Multi Effects Processor Review: First bought. Korg Pandoras Box almost two-decades ago and still prefer multi-effects to the cost and storage problems caused by any of the amps simulated by a good pedal. Own bigger and more expensive units from the big players in digital effects, but since buying this little marvel, they are gathering dust... Meanwhile I bought a black one as well from Guitarbitz, knowing that I can noodle in peace and record direct to Mac with some effects that I think are outstanding. Tone is such an objective thing you may have to stick with repeatedly changing pickups and amps, meanwhile I will be happily playing even starter guitars into the Korg, knowing that a very acceptable tone (to me) is to be had for less than £80.

Review By: GGZR Rating: 5 Excellent Product: GuitarMan Mini Headstock Tuner Review: I have three of the 'other brand' mini headstock tuners which are very similar to this in size/shape/function. Saw the Guitarman Mini Headstock Tuner so thought I'd give it a try. It works great, tunes well, even has a rubber insert to help the clip grip the headstock. There is just one button on the back, which turns the device on. It starts at 440, then you can press the button again to cycle through to different frequencies if required. Hold button in for a second or two to switch off, then when switched on again it defaults back to 440. Screen shows blue when out of tune and green when in tune. Very pleased I tried this tuner, almost identical to the nearest alternative but considerably cheaper. Service from Guitarbitz was faultless as always.

If you have a classical guitar, do you know that you need to change the strings regularly to keep your guitar sounding its best? Perhaps you have already broken a string? Perhaps you got a classical guitar for Christmas and the strings look dirty or even make your fingers smell yucky. Classical guitar strings are made of nylon and need to be changed to help prevent breakages, tone loss and corrosion. Check out this guide at Guitarbitz Guitar Shop which explains why and how to change your classical guitar strings. http://www.guitarbitz.com/how-to-restring-a-classical-guitar-i74 If you found this information useful, please share it on Facebook, Twitter and Google.   Google Tweet

We have just got in the Fender FSR Hot Rod Deville 'Red October' 2*12 Electric Guitar Amplifier at +Guitarbitz Guitar Shop  and WOW, we have been blown away!!!! We havent even managed to get it past 4 on the volume.  It is THAT loud! Nice and clean with lots of top end, and whe n you want it, it's got plenty of grunt. And we mean plenty of grunt.       

Want to make your guitar shine? Then get a microfible polishing cloth. Most of the time you don't even have to use any polishes (unless your guitar is really dirty), just a bit of huff and a buff = sparkle. The Fender Microfible polishing cloth is available at +Guitarbitz Guitar Shop  - http://www.guitarbitz.com/guitar-accessories-c1/guitar-care-products-c7/fender-dual-sided-super-soft-microfibre-cloth-p1988    

The wood and plasterboard for the teaching rooms has been delivered. All carried upstairs. Knackered isn't the word!

A customer brought in this lush VOX guitar. It's in some need of some TLC, but it will look gorgeous once it's finished.
