Pro’s
- The neck is thick and fat which gives it a natural feel while playing
- Switching between the pickups provides several different sounds
- from hard rock/metal to Jazz and Blues.
- Solid, well-built and very light
- The action on this guitar is great and definitely works well for all styles of playing
Con’s
The sound from pickups is not as warm and full as from the pickups used on more expensive PRS guitars.
Overall Summary:
I recommend this guitar for beginners and experienced guitarists alike. It has a wide range of high quality sounds that any guitarist will enjoy. When the volume control is rolled back about two numbers from full position the tone is very reminiscent of a late ’70s Les Paul Standard. The clean tone is great but lacks the same oomph as more expensive PRS guitars. This guitar also has a warm, sweet resonance when played unplugged. All in all a versatile guitar for live gigs, jam sessions and practicing at home.
CASIO CDP-200R – DIGITAL HAMMER ACTION PIANO – WITH USB AND SAMPLING FEATURES
Pros
feel but it’s not the best I’ve felt
playing softly differ from the sound when the keyboard is played strongly
slot, Mic input and Audio input for sampling space for drum beats, iPod, voice etc
Cons
Overall Summary
I would recommend the Casio CDP-200R’s as a great keyboard for beginner pianists/keyboardists or for anyone wanting a practice keyboard. I don’t recommend using this keyboard for live gigs or professional recording. Pianists will appreciate the familiar feel of the hammer-action keys, full 88-key piano size and anyone will enjoy the many features available to experiment with (e.g. sampling is a great feature where you can record any sound you want through the audio input – even your iPod). Amateurs/Professionals should look at Casio’s or other brands’ higher range of keyboards for any other purpose apart from practicing. The Casio CDP-200R’s recording capabilities are limited and sound quality is poor compared to its more expensive counterparts.
Great info, thanks for useful post. I’m waiting for more
