SV Guitars: J Cube SALE (recommendation)

It looks a little menacing but it's something you shouldn't ignore if you are looking for an instrument on a budget. This SG-type guitar by Tone Drive is a very playable instrument especially if you have a healthy dose of distortion going. I'd recommend this to newbies as it retains tuning well & offers very good upper fret access should you be adventurous during practice time. For the rest of us in need of a back-up if our number one fails, this one's as good as it gets, all for a mere $120 (SALE).

PS: Thanks, Mike, for the pic :-)

Tone Drive strings

Korean string manufacturer, Tone Drive, is rather instrumental (forgive the pun) in preserving string life while they remain in the package. As evident above, individual plastic wraps ensure string freshness but I feel guilty having to throw these away, the paper version of other string brands- these I can dispose into the neighbourhood recycling bin on my way to work...
