I used to play guitar umpteen years ago. My teenage son is now into it. Of course he has the internet to view before he buys. Funny how I actually know what I am talking about sometimes. I bought the frontman 65 as I have no amp just guitars packed away, got it on sale for $169.00. My son loved it, so much I couldn't get time on it, but this amp sounded so good om clean and all other settings that I kept it and bought a higher model for him. What a cool dad. His works awsome as well with the Fender quality, but I will say this frontman 65 keeps up and we play together a lot now. Best money I have spent. Buy it and you won't be disappointed.
Ease of Use
Basic, simple, solid, and sounds great, can't ask for more than that.
Quality
Typical Fender quality.........
Value
Dollar for dollar its the champ
