With all due respect to HC, I tend to read most of the reviews with an open mind. You would be amazed how many folks buy a complete P.O.S., but because they don't know any better, they post a glowing review saying that "this is the greatest guitar I have ever owned - incredible value at $89 brand new". Similarly, there are those who buy a perfectly fine instrument but think it clever to flame the guitar, the manufacturer, and the store where they bought it from.
Like all public forums, HC reviews are simply the opinions of the individuals who choose to post there; as we don't KNOW who these folks are, and therefore don't know how qualified/experienced they are to MAKE such opinions, it is dangerous to give too much credence to what they say.
FWIW, these London City guitars have been discussed on the forum several times before - you may want to use the "search" function to find the appropriate threads. I don't have any personal experience of this make of guitar, and without some decent pics to look at it is hard to comment.
Sorry if this isn't particularly helpful - just being honest!....  |
Hello everybody
(I'm new here and found this page with google. i searched for london city mk1....)
Yes it's true what you say but i'd like to add a small comment.
I've been playing guitar for over 10 years now and it all started out with a Sunn Mustang and a noname guitar amp.
After a few lessons i started to play in a band and needed some good equipment. so i played the fender strat (japan) from my uncle. and i bought a Fender Deville.
After few years i bought another fender, it is one of my favorites, a beautiful jazzmaster
and after that i sold my amp and bought a Seymour Duncan convertible 2000 :)
So i think i know good guitar equipment sounds like
Today i bought a London City Tele MK1
and my opinion this one sounds bizarre! good! it looks exactly the same and plays awesome, the neck is a bit thin but i like it.
the only thing i disliked is the fact that the neck is hard to bend but i'll get over that.
i think within 10 years this one could be a collecters item....
oh and if you want one, just try to get the mk1, it is better then the mk2...
hope's this helps
later
