String Swing Wood Guitar Wall Hanger, WALNUT Review

String Swing Wood Guitar Wall Hanger, WALNUT

Why didn't I think of this before? We used to have guitars on floor stands, and had to move them around for sweeping or getting into cabinets or drawers. Now they are off the floor and out of the way. Plus, they are beautifully displayed! These hangers are well made with attention to detail - including the cushioned ends and hanging hardware.

The String Swing CC01 Home and Studio hanger has become the standard for hanging your instrument securely and conveniently. You say you'd like to practice more but digging your guitar out of the closet just turns you off. Hang it where you can get at it quick. You can adjust the width of the yoke to fit your guitar or mandolin. Rubber tubing insures that your instrument won't get scratched. This listing is for the Brown WALNUT wood (stock photo used)

Hofner Icon Series Beatle Bass Guitar - Sunburst Review

As a professional musician and university music professor, I have pretty high standards. Of course, I'm primarily a woodwind performer, and although I've fooled around with guitar since high school, this was my first electric bass guitar. Hofner's Icon model has cheaper wood and generally some cheaper parts than their professional level basses, but I love this instrument. The short scale is perfect for moving seamlessly between guitar and bass and makes technically demanding passages easier than on a standard scale bass. I've gotten to the point where I've taken the bass to parties and played a couple of paying gigs with it. The intonation is pretty good, although it is not up to the level of professional instruments. The main issue is that 1st fret notes are very sharp. The movable bridge is a little tricky to work with, too. I found that I just had to find a spot where there was a fairly decent blend of string height, string angle, and scale for the intonation. Generally, the switches and pickups seem to work pretty well, although the switches get just a little flaky when the temperature and humidity conditions change rapidly. I find that the strings that come with it work ok, but that flat wound strings really improve it, making it useful for rock and jazz playing. I did have to do some minor work on the frets, since two of them were set a little lower than the rest, but just a little adjustment eliminated fret buzz. It's no pre-CBS Fender, to be sure, but for less than $400, it looks good, sounds good, and is lightweight and easy to play.

With authentic details inspired by the original, the Hofner Icon Series Vintage Bass makes the legendary violin bass available to the rest of us. Don't get the idea that this a just a 'nowhere man' look-alike. This quality instrument features a real spruce top and beautiful flamed maple back and sides. The semi-hollow body and set neck will give you the warm, round tone you expect from the violin bass. Rosewood fretboard, sunburst finish.
