1st May 2013

         dv-mark-multiamp-review

I just bought a DV-Mark Multiamp and a couple of 1x12 speakers designed to work with this amp for review. This is another emulator or simulator type of guitar amps.

Find out if this amp can topple the Axe-FX series and all the features that are built right in to the MULTIAMP such as a 500w amp for a bargain price! And does this amp deliver the goods?

Check out this review online ..take a look at the Multiamp from DV Mark and see the most in depth review to date on this product.

Fender Custom Strat 3 - Tonys Guitars

Fender Custom Stratocaster 3 Guitar with Natural Finish

 

I have a great collection of many leading brands of electric guitars including Gibson, Fender, PRS, Ibanez and others. Check them out from the 'Tony's Guitars' section of this website. While the images are not huge, the quality is - so you get a real idea of what this guitar is like in real life.

Many of my guitars are reviewed on the reviews pages. Also don't forget to visit the IMAGE GALLERY with a section showing my  guitars in hi resolution images. Many of the guitars are becoming quite rare now and are worth a look.

I built this guitar (shall we say remodeled it really) from my earlier guitar featured under my guitars HERE but as you will see below there's little resemblance to the original guitar.

The original from the link above was a heavy guitar which was fine for some time, but as I got a little older and more feeble :-) (do not agree at this point) I decided to do something about it.

Some time ago I built a strat with a Warmoth neck and body. The body was great, the neck? well eventually sold that guitar because of the 'feel' of the thing. Don't get me wrong, the neck was 'ok', but not ok enough for my very picky hands.

When I was considering an update for my guitar on the link above naturally Warmoth came to mind.

So I bit the bullet and ordered a swamp ash body with a quilted maple top.

Now some of you will tell me that it won't sound like a strat at this point... and you might tell me you can tell which battery is fitted to your wah too... poppycock. This body sure sounds like a strat in real life and you can check it out as far as sounds go on my YouTube channel HERE or my video page on this site.

As I have a review of this guitar Ill just show you some of the photos of the finished thing so then you can skip along to the review on this site called 'Custom Strat 3' under the review section.

I sincerely hope you like it!
