Douglas SI-13 3TS with floyd reviews

It's sunday and rainy outside, what else to do but to practice a few licks on guitar.
Well if you are a beginner young and in short of dough and can't get the latest Gibson LP or Fender strat or even any of the jackson and all the high end copies out there, here is a tip for you. You can get a great guitar anyway. It will involve a bit of work but, what guitar dont (even the best dont come with such a great tune up adapted to what YOU like or will like). Look at the bottm of that page. You will find the douglas SI-13 3TS with floyd rose bridge. It is a lefty but I will find the right one and post it soon. These can be found also at rondomusic.com.

Why do I rave about this one ??? Because I bought it !!!

Now for the price you will say this is a cheapo that wont do anything for me.
Wrong. the guitar is made of palamino and has a great tune. It is great for beginner because it is cheap and you can experiment a lot with it.

But out of the box it is already fine. Lets face it....Where will you find something with a floyd rose bellow 300 $ ? Douglas guitars dont have the best pick ups and tuners but they are fine and payable out of the box..And stay in tunes. Now you will get buzing out of it but that can be fix and I`ll tell you how later on this blog.

As for the floyd rose it is a licensed one. And works fine too. The floyd rose bridge can be a monster to tune up but..... If you figure it out, no other bridge will scare you EVER !!! There is a big advantage about this bridge. It does lock the strings at each extremities keeping your instrument in tune for a long time, just for that it is worth the price. I will talk about it later too in this blog and there is many other help link about it. It is very well documented. The douglas SI-13 3TS has everything to appeal the beginner and intermediary and I saw some people that would even gig with it after they modified it for stage play. The finnish on it is perfect also.

To everyone I showed this guitar they could not believe the price for the the quality.
At that price you can even start to collect different type of guitars, and feel like a rock
star at home for a fraction of the price.

One last thing I will mention on this is that those guitar made out of korea and china. BUT...... the quality if the materials is really superior of most of the things you will find out there and at the price they are you can afford to try one and use it as a platform to modify them at you own convinience. I would not dare to do that with a true gibson LP.

Til next time

May the force be with you
