I use a Blackstar ht-5r alongside rocksmith or when the neighbors are home, other times if they're out I may use my Fender Power Chorus, but its so loud I cant really turn it up over 1. I mainly just use the fender as my clean channel and the Blackstar with my pedals for the dirt channel when playing away from rocksmith

After seeing MartyV post the modern lovers, im now listening to them also, I used to love the song about Hippy Jonny... brings back childhood memories and some of the better music that my parents used to play

I actually have a Chinese les paul copy bought from dhgate. I bought it as a kind of project, a cheap guitar that I can learn to setup without fear of ruining my decent guitars. When I ordered I asked the seller to change a few things so that it was made to my design, I went with an ebony fret board, no fret marker on 1st fret and all black hardware, this added about 3 weeks to the delivery time. The good thing about DH gate is that payments are made in escrow, so the seller doesnt get the cash until you have your guitar. The guitar was supposed to be a Les Paul Dark Fire copy (minus the robot bits), it looks great from a distance, but when looking at it closely, theres a few small blemishes here and there. The body is made from 3 parts with a maple cap, the black binding on the body is actually painted on and bleeds into the rest of the body in some places, the neck has a very visible scarf joint for the headstock When I got the guitar, it was set up quite well, although some frets needed leveling / dressing, I had to adjust the truss rod to get the action right for me. I replaced all of the electrics as the pickups were really weak, it had fake p90 and fake emg hz (no battery), lthough I have read that some actually get branded epiphone pickups. It also came with fake locking grover tuners that actually work well. I replaced the pickups with bare knuckle stacked p90 and mule in the bridge and wired it for coil splitting. after that effort its a really nice sounding guitar and also feels pretty nice to play, but in hindsight, It wasnt worth the hassle. the guitar worked out at around £170 by the time i had it shipped and payed import taxes and surcharges, plus around £250 for the new pups and another £40 on pots and wire. If I was to do it all again, id probably just go with a regular off the shelf guitar and customise it to get the sound that i want. In my mind with the china clones is that you are buying a nice looking guitar copy, if you want it to sound like a nice guitar, you WILL have to spend a little setup time / cost Edit... Something that I read when researching to buy a Chinese Gibson, was that it depends what factory the guitar came from would determine how good the guitar can be. So checking feedback is very important to find 1 of those sellers. look for people who have returning customers. And be very clear on what you want when discussing with the seller, some things get lost in translation so make sure youre both on the same page before you send your money.

perhaps rather than a rating system the devs can implement a way to encourage feedback... e.g. notify a user something along the lines of....

That I own, its my Eastwood GP, a remake of an Ovation Ultra GP. It feels nicely balanced, the neck feels just right and it sounds pretty good too. I have a nice strat also, but i keep going back to the GP for that thick sound http://eastwoodguitars.ru/d/328585/d/gtr_blkgp.jpg
