Switch Guitars

At Musician's Friend

One day for no reason I wanted to try out these guitars made of some.....material .....Vibracell....well its not wood.

Its quite cheap compared to every other guitar I ever owned, It would make a good knock around guitar, something as a back up....So enter the
Switch Stealth Wild

Boy was I surprised....

I really don't know why there isnt more about these giutars on the web.  They are very well built, sounds very good unplugged, supposedly resistiant to weather changes, and .....well priced.

It's really a good deal....

If you're a Beginner guitarist, I highly recommend checking these out.

In terms of sound:

Its  got  a very warm character, it has a very nice mellowed worn-in tone.  It snappy when you want in to be, and singing every other time.  The sustain is quite excellent.
This is a Quaility Super Strat.

the Neck is very nice, not thin, but not Too fat, the radius is quite flat too, 16 I think.

Let me say this Again Quailty....no 200 Us dollar guitar I know of has Gover Tuning machines, usually a high end feature.

The scale length is short on this guitar: 24.75  which I think is a great match with the Synthetic one piece construction, also very easy to play.

In the past I have played other expensive Synthetic guitars with 25.5 inch scale, they require alot of fine tuning with amps and gear to remove the Brittleness, and thinness from the tone. ( ie changing Pickups for weaker outputs, Potenimeter change....etc etc blah blah)

this one is very warm and bubbly right out of the box.

Simlar to this guitar is:

Vigier Guitars
Shawn Lane Vigier Model
also a short scale strat style, but with a tremolo bar and Dimarzo Pickups


This guitar is really.....Awesome!
Grab it while they are still in business

It's always fantastic to read your reviews and to read about the gear you use, Alex. I wish I could understand the technical details much deeper. I will some day. By now, it sounds to me like a great stuff, also incredibly cheap. It's quite a helpful information and the links are very useful. Thanks a lot for your always interesting words.
