"If you're on a lower budget or a beginner, I would highly suggest this. The price is cheap just for the guitar itself."

Feature:
Keep in mind that I'm giving these scores for guitars in this price range. Features-wise, this is a dream.As I said with the sound, you can really customize the tone with both the guitars features and the amp. The amp peaks at 20 watts, getting more than loud enough for practicing in your room or basement. Obviously though you wouldn't be taking it too a show. They give you an extra set of strings as well, a tuner that's nothing great but is effecient enough, five picks, and cables..may want to get thicker, better ones though, as occasionally these will make my amp pick up radio signals...yeah. It's almost comical.

Quality:
I take this down one, as when I got this, there was a screw missing in one of my humbuckers, so distortion kind of meshed together..however this can be easily fixed. I'm sure this was obviously a slight shipping flaw though, so I can't blame the company.

Value:
for 220 bucks, it's a steal. Even compared to guitars in general, this is a really great guitar..the practice amp is pretty nice, and everything else does the justice. Just get some thicker cables..

Desirability:
Well I own it, but yeah..it's got a lot appeal

Sound:
The humbuckers, features, and overall architecture really give a unique, customizable tone. The two tone and two volume knobs are nice with customization..plus the overdrive is pretty damn good, actually..though a bit generic sounding. though you can tell with some better distortion or a pedal, it would be fantastic.

Support:
Never had to deal with them.

Overall:
I know I'll always keep this, and be using it as a main guitar for quite awhile.

"Silvertone is Gold"

Feature:
i have to give this a 5 bc the amp just had bass, volume, and gain on it. but what do you expect? its a beginners pack!

Quality:
again, its all for the guitar. the amp sucks. the guitar is built solid

Value:
worth it

Desirability:
this guitar is bangin :) the chrome and the yellow with the red.... wheww... this is niice

Sound:
the sound goes all to the guitar... not the amp. the amp deserves a 0. i have a marshall MG15DFX and this silvertone sounds mean. you can get s KILLER sweet chld o mine out of this

Ease of Use:
it plays VERY easy. ive been playing for a year on it and ive already got the Crazy Train solo down

Overall:
id just say if you can get this guitar by itself, buy it alone. the amp sucks, the "padded" gig bag wasnt padded. all it really is is just a nylon bag witha handle and a zipper that says "Silvertone" i never got the tuner or picks, but i did get the DVD and strings. im kinda happy bc i heard that the tuner that it came with sucks. the DVD, just the guy kinda scares me. but overall, GET THIS
