Review Summary

I just received the unit and am using it. My purpose is not on a stage or performance venue. Only for ease in my small studio. Obviously no cords making it easier and faster to practice and no cords all over the floor to trip folks walking around. NOW, the issue I do not think it matches the sound of a guitar cord. Seems a little hollow and possibly a slight tendency to produce faint echo type sound. Is it acceptable ? Possibly and a little more use and I will now but it is absolutely different that a direct cord input. I am not knocking the unit and telling you not to purchase one, just a little heads up on what " I " noticed. If things change I will be the first one to add to my review. Stores seem to have a trial period so you really have nothing to loose except a few dollars shipping it back. So, give it aa try, You will probably end up keeping it ..It sure is quick and easy.

The new AirLine 88 guitar unit was supposed to be out long ago. I was upgrading from a old Concert Series III that I've had since the 90s and was dead set on going with another Samson product. So far I like what I see, but have not yet used it in a live gig. If it works as well as the previous one, I'll be satisfied. I would have kept the old one, but UHF invites more interference. The biggest disappointment so far is the plastic chassis and flimsy plastic rack adapter for half space mounting. Not near as nice as the rugged metal used on previous units. That is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars.

Get Physical, Go Wireless
Samson's AirLine 88 Guitar system offers true wireless freedom without the hassle of a beltpack or cable. Featuring a plug-in transmitter with a dual-position connector that is designed to fit a variety of guitar jacks, this frequency-agile UHF wireless system provides high definition sound, premium reliability and a 300' operating range for guitars, basses and other stringed instruments.
The Wireless Future
AirLine 88 Guitar continues Samson's longstanding commitment to wireless innovation. Designed to be an extension of your instrument rather than a separate component, the AG8 Guitar Transmitter lets you rule the stage with confidence. It provides IR sync to wirelessly match the receiver and transmitter frequency, an audio Mute switch, battery life LED indicator and up to 12 hours of operation on a single AA battery.
A Multi-Instrumentalist
Can you really use only one guitar Samson doesn't think you should have to make that choice. That's why the AG8 plug-in transmitter was designed with a custom, dual-position connector that can fit both Fender (Stratocaster) and Gibson-style guitar output jacks. AirLine 88 Guitar also provides exceptional low frequency clarity ideal for bass guitars. It's even a great wireless solution for acoustic-electric guitars, electric violins and accordions.
Tour Support
Offering frequency-agile operation, the system's rack mountable CR88 Wireless Receiver provides 16 selectable channels for reliable performance no matter where you are. The receiver's True Diversity design minimizes dropouts, while tone key technology prevents unwanted noise when your transmitter is off or out of range.
