Review First Act Overtone
 
 
 

Review by a visitor on 30.10.2008




Found it in the trash about 4 years ago with amp, stand, and cables.

 
 
  Features  
 
Doesnnullt have any features. Head, neck, body, tremolo, single humbucker. But it does have a tremolo, I mean other First Acts usually donnullt.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
It sounds ok, like for early metal/punk. I get a great Iron Maiden sound with it. The nec is a little sharp but can shred.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
Itnulls ok.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
It stays in tune most of the time. If you tune it, you have about 2 hours of playing. It does stay in tune overnight. About on the third day it goes out of tune. 1-2 a month tune up thruss/truss (I donnullt know what itnulls called :P).
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
You know this guitar isnnullt all that great of a guitar if someone threw it away with its amp, stand, and cable.
 
 

Review by PowWow on 29.9.2005




I got this guitar about 3 years ago at a local Wal-Mart. I paid $150.00 for it

 
 
  Features  
 
The guitar doesnnullt sound to good with 1 pickup on it and positioned in a bad place. It hums a lot and goes out of tune really easy.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
It sounds better than a FEW guitars.but sounds worse than any other guitar. WAY worse.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
The pickup is positioned in a Terrible place: to close to the bridge. It isnnullt a good competitor for for even a $175.00 guitar. the guitar isnnullt to light either. Itnulls almost like my Dean playmat base guitar(see also that review).
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
Like I said;It needs to be tuned frequently. Its not to reliabe because instead of going out of tune and the note going lower the note goes higher. This is not a good guitar for live strings.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
The guitar is not to good. Itnulls almost like an Elmo guitar only bigger. Inullm not saying itnulls a bad company, but this guitar isnnullt the best they can make
