Guitar reviews from Fender, PRS, and more face off for the internet’s most coveted guitar title. 2023 saw a return to regular guitar reviews here on Guitars For Idiots, which was fantastic news for me.

Maybach’s Little Wing Is The Perfect Guitar To Write A Song On
This guitar mixes the comfort of a parlor guitar with the output of a vintage electric guitar. Rounding out the 2023 guitar review season both here and for Ultimate-Guitar, we have the Maybach Little Wing. This perfectly comfortably, quirky guitar comes to us from Germany, and is my first time with a Maybach guitar. MaybachContinue reading “Maybach’s Little Wing Is The Perfect Guitar To Write A Song On”
Meet Shevlin Guitars And Their McKenzie Offset Model
With a stunning red finish over a resonant slab JM-style body, there’s lots of beauty in simplicity here. My love of simple guitars is well documented at this point. I love single pickup guitars, like the RWM Guitars RWDCT we’re giving away, or the Tom DeLonge Strat. Ironically I do have a relatively complex signatureContinue reading “Meet Shevlin Guitars And Their McKenzie Offset Model”
This Is The Cheapest Relic’d Tele I Could Find, And It’s Not Bad
I really am pleased with this cheap find on Amazon and I think more people should try it. Cheap guitars are awesome. You probably feel the same way if you regularly visit this website. So keeping with that theme, we’ll spend this week talking about a Telecaster I rolled the dice on.

Eastwood Sidejack Baritone “20th Anniversary” Review
We check out a stylish yet affordable extended range guitar from the brand behind the “pawnshop” revival. There’s not a ton of guitars that pass the “office” test for me. This test, which consists of me judging how much I want to pick up a guitar when I see it hanging on the rack inContinue reading “Eastwood Sidejack Baritone “20th Anniversary” Review”
Fender Vintera II Bass VI Review
It might be my first time with a Bass VI, but like the other Fender Vintera models, I’m impressed. This year has been the first time I’ve really ventured into extended range instruments. Earlier this year, I had a killer experience with a Pure Salem Urge guitar on UG, and now I’ve been lucky enoughContinue reading “Fender Vintera II Bass VI Review”
The Story Behind This RWM Double Cut Telecaster
Is it a Les Paul Junior? Is it a Telecaster? If you’ve watched any of the pedal demos on this website in 2023 you’ve definitely seen this guitar. While it’s not one I can or want to formally review, it is one I want to talk about. This guitar is made by my friend RonContinue reading “The Story Behind This RWM Double Cut Telecaster”
Fender Missed All The Small Things With Their Tom DeLonge Signature Stratocaster
All credit for that joke goes to Shevlin Guitars Fender just wrapped up what was probably their most exciting signature model re-release in a decade or so. The Tom DeLonge Signature Stratocaster is back, much to the world’s (and my) delight! The fun, beachy colored bodies have the big Fender headstock that I love, aContinue reading “Fender Missed All The Small Things With Their Tom DeLonge Signature Stratocaster”
Squier Paranormal Jazzmaster XII Review
Will Squier’s latest quirky release live up to the hype and provide the coveted 12 string jangle I crave? Sometimes I feel like this website is built off Squier guitar reviews. Things like the Paranormal Super Sonic, Classic Vibe Jazzmaster, or Contemporary Stratocaster are some of my most viewed articles ever. That’s not a problemContinue reading “Squier Paranormal Jazzmaster XII Review”
Has My Love Of The PRS SE McCarty 594 Standard Held Up?
I gave this guitar a glowing review back in February, but almost 3 months later what do I think? Despite our best efforts as guitar gear reviewers we sometimes can get caught up in the moment. I try not to review stuff too quickly, to avoid being overly effusive with praise that will wear offContinue reading “Has My Love Of The PRS SE McCarty 594 Standard Held Up?”
