Crate Review: Electra

Crate Electric Guitars

History:

Purchase: I got this guitar in a strat pack for christmas about 2 years ago, it is one of the best guitars ive ever played, it was a great value (about $230), and a great guitar.

What I Like About This Crate Electra: I love it, when i first got it was very happy to have my first guitar, and after 2 years there is absolutly nothing wrong with it. To anyone thinking of getting a first guitar, get this one, it never fails.

What I Do NOT Like About The Crate Electra: The strap is kind of annoying, so i just got a new one for 10 bucks. The amp distortion isnt to great, but its not horrible, and the regular tone is crisp and perfect.

Crate Electra Quality Rating: It never has gotten a scratch and i play it at least 2 hours a day. It doesnt have anything wrong with it, and for those of you thinking of getting a fender squier for the name, screw it, those are poorly made, the E gets stuck on the frets, and its a headache. Very well made Crate.

Review Summary: Very well made guitar High Quality Sounds good with clean sound, if you want god distortion amp that comes with it is decent. For a starting guitarist and for a backup for gigs, get this guitar!

Crate GLX1200H - This is the best pruchase I think I have every made on musical equipment. The great construction, beautiful sound, heavy power, compact design, built in muteswitch/tuner/lights are just phenomenal. And for the price, this amp is second to none....

Crate GFX-15 - Great beginner or even pro amp. Don't pass it by because of its size. It's a lil' powerhouse!...

Crate Electra - bottom line great guitar for beginers if your planning on buying it then just change the amp eventually and get the wiring fixed and thats all ...

Crate BX25 DLX - If you find it for under $150, pick it up, it's definetly worth it. I read some where that someone paid $279.99. Kinda expensive for only 25 watts. Overall, good practice amp for the price....

Crate GX-130C - Bottom line - if you come accross one of these heads...let me know,... I wanna get another one to have 2 half stacks...

Crate BX-15 Amp - Its not that great, but if your just starting out, or just need a practice amp that wont wake up your entire city,its perfect....

Crate GFX212 - The sound is about as close as you can get to a half stack without spending the high amounts of cash. it is also more car friendly, meaning it will fit....

Crate MX 120R - OVER ALL FOR THE MONEY, IM PRETTY SATISFIED WITH IT. IF YOU WANT AN AMP WITH GOOD CLEAN AND DISTORTED SOUNDS, WITH PLENTY OF POWER THIS IS A GOOD UNIT. ITS A PRETTY BASIC UNIT, WITH REALLY GOOD SOUND AT A GOOD PRICE. I CAN TELL YOU THIS: MY NEW SCHEC...

Crate XT120R - I hope Crate keeps making great quality amp forever....
