If you already know what the Vibra-Slap is, you also know it is THE ONLY modern replacement for the jawbone worth having. As LP puts it on their website, it is probably the most recorded sound effect in history. In the case of standard effects like this, it actually makes the most sense to buy the standard sound. You want the effect of the effect, so to speak, not for people to focus on the effect because it sounds different.

If you don’t know what the Vibra-Slap is, it’s kind of hard to describe. The best I can do is that it produces a really hard, fast rattle sound with a fast attack and fast decay. It’s done by holding it as illustrated in the product picture and striking the ball down into your hand. That makes the upper part vibrate rapidly. The wooden bell-shaped upper contains a clapper that produces the rattle. Once you hear it, you’ll realize that you’ve heard it in countless recordings, movies, and TV shows. Believe it or not, this was designed to replace the use of a donkey jawbone with loose teeth to produce the same effect!

The Vibra-Slap comes in 3 slightly differing versions, two wood and one metal. This is the most common one.

This review is from: Beginner 38″ Pink Acoustic Guitar Set with Gig Bag and Accessories

I was under the impression that even though the guitar was really cheap that I would be getting a full size guitar. THE GUITAR IS NOT A FULL SIZE GUITAR! Even though it is perfectly long enough for an adult the base is smaller so the sound is different. The guitar does not stay in tune. I will play a few chords and then have to retune the guitar. Also the guitar will not fully tune up. You can sit there forever with an automatic tuner and it will never fully tune. The strings are alot harder to hold down than a full size guitar. If you are on a budget like I was then I guess it is a decent guitar for the price but IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER PLAYER THEN I SUGGEST SPENDING $100 AT A LOCAL STORE AND GET A TRUE BEGINNERS GUITAR BECAUSE THIS ONE WILL DISCOURAGE YOU FROM PLAYING BECAUSE IT IS TOO HARD TO PLAY! this goes for anyother cheap guitar! you get what you pay for!

This review is from: Beginner 38″ Pink Acoustic Guitar Set with Gig Bag and Accessories

My daughter bought this and it seemed good but then when she was taking lessons, it wouldn’t stay in tune. They tuned it at the begining of the lesson and again at the end because it wouldn’t stay in tune. Also it is extremely hard to tune. And she was just strumming it and the top string popped of and we can’t get it back on. I wouldn’t buy this even if the price is great. Save your money up to get a good guitar instead of a crappy one like this.
