The guitar arrived on time and was well packaged. It needed a sight truss rod adustment and I replaced the nut with an unbleached bone nut, which looked better against the vintage epiphone tuner knobs, rather than the white nubone nut it came with. After filing the nut to size the guitar sounded fine and played well. I've heard a few bad reviews regarding the QC on this guitar but after checking it over, I found everything ok. Overall a nice sounding guitar for the money.

Highly recommended
Good thick cables, which last well. Similar to others I have purchased and have served many years of gigging without fault. Very good value as these will last you years.

Good products
Good products, reasonable price. Lose 2 stars because DPD just dont care and left it downstairs in a public foyer. Two hundred quids worth of gear. Then lied and said they left it at a neighbours and just took a picture of a random door. I wont be ordering from here again. All couriers are bad but DPD have taken over the top spot from EVRI.

as someone who got into guitar recently, i had a squier. no idea what a floyd rose was, bought an ibanez RG guitar cause it looked cool. put heavy gauge strings in and spent 5 hours trying to tune it all because i wasn’t familiar with a floating bridge.

Lovely guitar but paid for next day delivery and didn’t arrive. Waited in all day while being assured it was on its way to find it wasn’t Acton its way at all.

Lap Steel Guitar by Gear4music
Lap Steel Guitar by Gear4music - probably the cheapest model you can buy, and with a little work it sounds quite good. You need to replace the strings with a heavier guage and tune a full tone higher than normal because of the short scale length e.g Open E instead of Open D. You need to adjust the saddles so the centres are all exactly 53cms from the nut. Then finally raise the pickup so it is between 2.5mm & 3mm from the strings...

The order process was easy and the item was delivered as advised during check out. Packing & Postage seemed reasonable. The price was the lowest I could find from a supplier who had stock.
