4.0 out of 5 stars great guitar for smaller players, September 6, 2008
This review is from: Dean Playmate EVO Junior Solid Body Electric Guitar, Classic Black, 3/4-Size (Electronics)
I bought this guitar for my 6 year old who had outgrown his toy acoustic guitar. I am a veteran player and am very impressed with the quality both in construction and sound from it. My child is even more interested in practicing now with the "cool" sounds he is getting from it and (probably most important to him) it looks cool.
I researched several competitor guitars and found this one far superior for the price. The 3/4 size should last him through elementary school years and possibly beyond.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slick lil' geetar!, April 1, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Dean Playmate EVO Junior Solid Body Electric Guitar, Classic Black, 3/4-Size (Electronics)
Ok this thing is friggin rad!

Pros: Small, fairly lightweight for a solid body, tuners are slightly better than what I was hearing (at least they're phillips screwed into the mechanism and not totally die cast and held into place with just the tuner covers like some cheaper acoustics I've owned)

Cons: The bridge had to be adjusted and all of the pieces moved back. I didn't look up Gibson specs or anything but I just moved the low E's as far back as it would go while testing 12th fret harmonic vs 12th fret sound and I ended up about as far back as you can go before the screw that holds the piece on started hitting the string. It was dialed in just before the point where I'd have to cut the bolt down so it didn't hit the string. The rest of the bridge pieces are slightly less further back as the strings get higher tone, so it ended up stepping up from lowest to highest and looking like a set of stairs. This really isn't a con, as almost all guitars need to be... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice 3/4 size Guitar, March 20, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Dean Playmate EVO Junior Solid Body Electric Guitar, Classic Black, 3/4-Size (Electronics)
This is a nice 3/4 size electric guitar, especially for the price. I say 3/4 size because it's perfect for a teenager or an adult with small hands. It's not the smaller 1/2 size that would be appropriate for an 8 year old or younger player.

Better than average Chinese construction. The neck has a satin rather than smooth finish that keeps my hand from sticking, but took a little getting used to. The body is a nicely applied gloss black. The frets and fingerboard are well done, with no sharp edges.

When it arrived, it needed some adjustments, but after setting the string height and intonation to "Gibson electric" factory specs, the action and intonation are fine. Both of these are easily set with the "tune-o-matic" bridge. I mention intonation because not all 3/4 size "short scale" guitars can be adjusted to intonate correctly, but this one can. Search the web for "intonation" and "Gibson guitar specs" for more info.

Sadly, mine arrived with major... Read more
