Feline Guitar Lion Cub review in new Guitar and Bass Magazine

FelineGuitars · December 2015

We have a rather tasty small review in this month's Guitar and Bass Magazine for our singlecut Junior

It hits the shelves tomorrow (4th December '15)

They rather liked it and gave it a high score!
Must confess we are pleased to have another review out after having not sent out for a long while.

Still available to buy and we have it up for a bargain-tastic price if someone wants to take the plunge as it is ex-demo

We just need to collect it from the magazine

Here are some other pics of the beast in the meantime:

Noice one!

Nice. I have some travelling on public transport tomorrow so if GandB is in store early on I shall pick up a copy. In the meantime I shall look at those photos and sigh. :-B

Stunning stunning guitar. Excellent work Feline, out of interest whats the RRP?? Not that I can offer to buy one right now but still

axisus · December 2015

I have to say that it is a superb looking guitar.

martinw · December 2015

Lovely.

Strat_a_tat_tat · December 2015

I just had a quick look at the review... but there seems to be a misprint... they've only given it 9/10.

... but it does say... 'Feline's attention to small details lifts the Lion Cub's playability, versatility and tone to a vey high level.'

Congrats, Jonathan.

That neck joint is lovely.

I can't stop looking at it.

TTony · December 2015

Congrats @FelineGuitars

It really does look so nicely done and unobtrusive. Congratulations on the good reviews.

pickerg · December 2015

Good to hear when a UK builder gets some good recognition. Had an eye on this for a while and it looks even more stunning in the new pictures. However, I think I need something similar but with a neck pickup too for some sweet jazzy-bluesy tones.

monquixote · December 2015

Awesome work as always!

hubobulous · December 2015

Congrats J :-)

FelineGuitars · December 2015

Tried the Cub with a black pickup mounting ring

hubobulous · December 2015

Yep, better with the black one I think.

Winny_Pooh · December 2015

delicious

steamabacus · December 2015

I think the black ring is an improvement.

TTony · December 2015

There was a guy in a pub last night, hawking one of those around.

Beautiful piece of work @FelineGuitars - but you knew that already!

FelineGuitars · December 2015

The whole point was that it was easy to customise or swap to your own preferences.

AlexHunter · December 2015

I've played that guitar and it really is lovely.

The only thing stopping it getting a 10/10 is an arched top and a neck pickup.......like this one:

FelineGuitars · December 2015

We have another couple of those in the works Alex... I'll upload some pics soon

ThorpyFX · December 2015

A thoroughly well-deserved review. I've played this guitar and it truly is awesome. Congratulations Jonathan.

CHrisP86 · December 2015

I desperately tried to wait over the summer for this to come back from the reviewers but I buckled and now have no money!

Although I might take a mental note of @AlexHunter 's suggestion. That guitar with an ebony fretboard and some fancier inlays is the sort of Feline I will order one day...

Yes - the review took a bit longer than anticipated as Chris Vinnicombe was on Sabbatical and they also had a lot of stuff to do for the magazine.

Here are the pics of the Lion Specials that we have on the way - both Rosewood boards though...which I think may actually sound smoother.

Can't easily tell but these are arch top guitars

ddlooping · December 2015

Saw the Cub at the meet, very nice indeed.

How about this version?

P.S: it might have been better with the old style knobs, with the silver bit at the top.

GuitarMonkey · December 2015

@ddlooping whatever happened to the Diaz Ghost?

ddlooping · December 2015

It disappeared into the ether, @GuitarMonkey, as befitting to a Ghost.

It might make a come back one of these days though.

I liked it before but I would buy the shit out of that...

ddlooping · December 2015

Good review indeed.

Yes, it has two volume knobs, I was being lazy.

Howdy, Stranger!
