Ibanez, Squier, Vox and Epiphone mini guitars review

Wondering what to get young Molly Hatchet or Archie Topp for Christmas? Here's a few ideas to whet your appetite for destruction.

Ah mate, the ringtone on 4 separate machines. What more can a man ask for? And well done on retaining the presence of mind not to play one of them twice by mistake.

Hahahahaha, hi Steve :-) Luckily I'm still off the sauce. I can only imagine what kind of catastrophe could ensue after a few shickers! Cheers, Gary :-)

[@UNKUHNOODLES]

The scale between you and the wee guitars make you look like Leslie West!!! Fascinating review all around! 😜😜😜🍕

[@FoxysGuitarShow]

Hahahahaha, thanks Unkuhnoodles :-) That band was called Mountain for a very good reason! There's no way you could do that review after a bottle of Buckfast - you'd be playing 'em twice and tripping over the damn things. Cheers, Gary :-)

Loved that vid. Often wondered how the minis played and sounded. Not half bad considering their size and obviously budget adjusted specs.

[@FoxysGuitarShow]

Hi Chris and thanks :-) Yes, they're not bad at all and they play surprisingly well once given a decent set-up. Cheers, Gary :-)

[@cussy77]

Love them Gary looks so funny you playing them 😂😂😂

[@FoxysGuitarShow]

Hi Graham and thanks :-) Made me feel like Roald Dahl's BFG hahahahaha. Cheers, Gary :-)

[@DavidMorales008]

Awesome

[@FoxysGuitarShow]

Hi David and thanks :-) If they're good enough for Eddie Van Halen etc etc. Certainly for a larger child like myself either the mini Strat or the Ibanez Mikro would be best but the titchy ones rock, too. Cheers, Gary :-)

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

Which one intonates the best?

[@FoxysGuitarShow]

Hi Bryan :-) The Ibanez was pick of the crop, hands down. Cheers, Gary :-)

[@SoftIceQueen]

Would a mini guitar be good for someone who's a complete beginner?

[@FoxysGuitarShow]

Hi Softice Queen :-) If you're a small person then that may be a good idea but for a full size human I'd recommend a full size guitar. If you are an adult and wanted something less intimidating then the Ibanez would be the best choice. Cheers, Gary :-)

[@LaudCranium]

these mini guitars [vox teardrop n flying v] look more phallic. fret wanking heaven. :). that ibanez; yeucky yeuck!the squeer sounds horrible on clean. tinny. as painful as chewing on tin foil.

[@FoxysGuitarShow]

Hahahahaha, hi there your Laudship :-) Dear oh dear, tin foil on amalgam fillings - horrendous! Other offerings in the tiny guitar market include the Squier Jazz and Mustang but other than those they seem to be fairly thin on the ground. Epiphone used to do a mini Les Paul too, but they're like rocking horse wotsit these days. Cheers, Gary :-)
