My first electric guitar package was Lyon by Washburn, mind you Im a big fan of Fender Stratocaster and my dream electric guitar is a Gibson SG or an Epiphone will do. After a long battle of searching online and reading reviews about guitar from Google and which music store online to buy, again from eBay to Amazon to Digital Village, etc., I finally decided to just go to the nearest music store in Southampton to look, try and then hopefully buy an electric guitar.
I tried a couple of shops which were adjacent to each other, The Guitar Store Online and then Becketts. I tried to look at the guitars and was a bit shy to try one and because of my tight budget plus being the new
kid in town, I was really shy to test their guitar. But then, I conquered my shyness and tried a couple, and finally decided to buy this Lyon electric guitar by Washburn,colour black bundled with gig bag, 10-watt Stagg practise amp, strap, 3 plectrums and 3-meter lead from Becketts.
The guitar is superb, double humbucker bridge pickup, and two single coil’s, 5-way toggle switch, 1 volume knob and 1 tone knob. The action was fairly decent, but the sound or tone quality was rather brilliant.
The store was clever coz I didn’t realize I was using a high-end
amplifier, which is not the one included with the bundle, not the 10-watt Stagg practise amp.
After buying the guitar, I went home and hooked up everything and tried using the practise amp, the sound was just right especially on low volume, tried using the built-in overdrive it was decent but not imkpressive. Tried it on clean tone, using the neck pickup and I was supised, it is rather performing well. The one good thing about this practise amp is the MP3 input where I can use either iPhone or iPad to jam, as well as the headset output where it’s easy and convenient to jam in my room without disturbing others.
I then bought Digitech RP55 and it changed everything from the sound of the guitar to the sound of this 10W Stagg practise amp, it made it sound bigger. I purchased this electric guitar multi effects Processor from Amazon. No regets whatsoever about this Digitech RP55, small gadget but with big punch as they say.
