"Great, it's lasted me 3 years and counting."
Feature:
The guitar is strong enough, its gt a pretty solid body and quite good playability. On the other hand the cable and the strings that come with arent really anything special. The amp and the guitar itself though are the 2 best things in the package, which they should be.
Quality:
Yeah, if it were the best, they wouldnt be able to charge $80 for it, but its better than the cost dictates.
Value:
Seriously, for $80, you cannot get a better deal, this is insanely good for what you get.
Sound:
There are definitely better guitars out there, but i have owned this one for 3 years now, ive had only one big problem with the sound of it. The cable that comes in this package really really isnt worth keeping, i guess its good for having the first while you have it just to play with, but as soon as you can go find a better cable, because its not gonna last long. Also, the amp is terrific, it lasted 3 years for me and only died because someone plugged it into a wrong wall plug and we smelled smoke and sound no longer came from it. For the price though, its great sound.
Ease of Use:
Sooo easy, just plug it in and it works! the manual is also great. Neck doesnt slide great but all in all very very easy.
Overall:
Good, great deal for beginners, also easy to travel with

"guitar + accessories = blechhh. amp = yummm."
Feature:
90% of the accessories that came with it were total crap. the picks broke really easily, the strap ripped within a week, the cable started buzzing and muting out within 2 months, and the whammy bar snapped off inside the guitar during a small gig. how embarassing.
the gig bag and the amp were very decent though, very high quality. only parts of the package worth keeping.
Quality:
The quality of the amp is great, it will last years and you will probably want to keep it until it dies. the guitar on the other hand, doesn't take abuse too well. the strings that came with it were very terrible quality. the materials used in the actual guitar arent very good either. the nut is made from a cheap looking plastic that cracks very easily, plaguing you with a constant buzzing that is unbearable unless you want to subject yourself to the headache of completely replacing the nut. the guitar goes out of tune very quickly. i found myself retuning it constantly, especially during long practice sessions. the whammy bar detunes it even faster with a fresh tune lasting only a few hours sometimes.
Value:
i guess for 100 bucks you get what you pay for.
Desirability:
even though it looks just like a normal strat, the fact that the guitar is just a cheap knockoff completely turns me off of it.
Sound:
The guitar itself only gets a 4, but the greatness of the amp brings the sound all the way up to 7.
Ease of Use:
the action on the guitar is fairly low, making it easy to play for beginners, but delivering a hideous buzzing most of the time. the guitar is mediocre, but yet again the amp saves this by having some great presets and an easy to use interface.
Support:
it was ok. electronic support sucks though. their website was almost unnavigatable last time i logged on.
Overall:
this pack sucks mainly due to the company cheaping oout on everything except the amp and the gig bag. my advice is buy it for an ABSOLUTE beginner, or just go out and buy the amp by itself.
