Scott_F said:I don't mind the gear reviews, at least I don't mind wading through them all in an effort to sift out the valuable ones. With enough reviews, you can get a pretty good general sense of what the product is all about..........Tell the truth, when you hear about some piece of gear and you don't recognize the company, don't you do a quick HC search for some reviews? I know I do. Sometimes I just do it to get the website.
Actually, I tend to disregard many of the reviews posted by people over 30, because many of them are parents who picked up a samick made guitar from GC because the salesman directed them to it and they're utterly clueless about anything that has to do with guitars. At least the teenager who's trying to play along with Limp Bizkit or Christina Aguilera has actually played the guitar. True, there are some fifty year olds that know more about guitars than I ever will, but they aren't the only ones giving reviews.Luke Duke said:,,,Of course I'm under 30 so it appears that many guys disregard what I say simply due to age....
I could be thinking about Musician's Fiend, but I guess they're the same now.BadJaxx said:i've been using HC reviews longer than any other online guitar site and find it very useful...
obviously, you have to sift through the reviews, but the junk is pretty easy to spot and scroll on...pretty much like any other web site, guitar or not...
don't think i've ever seen a review from a parent who bought gear they didn't use and knew nothing about...if there are any, probably someone's idea of a joke...
