"Review for the Squier Fat Strat Pack (Just like this one except mine has a Humbucker pickup.)"
Feature:
The accesories were great. The picks looked really cool, the tuner was very functional and easy to use, the headphones were absolutely awesome, and the gig bag, though limited, does the job and protects the guitar.
Quality:
For the price, it's probably one of the best guitars out there. When compared to a Standart Strat (Fender being 10), I'd give it an 8. Compared to a really good, expensive guitar, I'd give it a 6.
Remember, Squier is by Fender, as in, these guitars are made by Fender under the name Squier. They're the same thing as a strat, but they were designed for small budgets, so they're cheaper. In fact, when Fender first made Squier, they put "Fender Squier Series" on the headstock.
Value:
Definately worth the money. I probably won't replace this guitar for 3-6 years. Very good sounding, and the quality of the accesories are amazing.
Desirability:
Amazoing. The mettalic red color that I have is very cool, and looks unique. The guitar shape is like a standard Fender Stratocaster, and it feels very comfortable when I'm playing it. The overall design is wonderful, and the 2 tone dials and 5 way switch make for a very big pallete of sounds.
Sound:
I was very satisfied with the sound. Sounds almost like a true Fender.
The pickups, dials, and 5 ways selector switch offer a huge variety of sounds. Wonderful sound for the price.
Ease of Use:
Very easy to use, I opended the box really easily. When you open box, you will see the gig bag (with the guitar in it), A small box, with the extra strings and picks and tuner, your cables, headphones, and another big box, which has your amp. I was all set up and playing in 10-15 minutes.
Support:
Haven't needed it yet.
Overall:
I think I might get about 5-7 years out of this guitar. Maybe I'll replace the amp in a year or two, but the amp it comes with is wonderful for practice. I was considering an Epiphone, which I bet would have been nice too, but I'm very, very glad I got this.

"Worth the Money, and the Wait"
Feature:
Is there any more we could ask for in features? You don't really need much else, unless you want to record your songs. All the included equipment is great. The strap is comfortable, the tuner is efficent, the pciks and strings are quality, etc.
Quality:
There are no cosmetic problems, all the hardware is fine, etc. Athough I would not like to take it "on the road," it would do okay. As of now, it seems like it'll last 6-7 years, give or take a year.
Value:
This kit is practically the best value since a 12-pack of Coca-Cola for $2.38. Yep, now that's madness.
Desirability:
I love the way it looks and feels. It's not as stunning as a Fender Powerhouse Strat, but it's close.
Sound:
Although made by Squier, most likely in China, it still has the classic sound and feel of a true Fender. It is very responsive, and is much better than no-name copies from cheap brands. It's good compared to name brands, too.
Support:
I have dealt with Fender before, and approve of them. My father wokred at their Corona plant for a little over the year, making Jazz Basses and Teles, mostly. He liked it, but he had to leave due to financial problems with the company and the family. Otherwise, support is great. Not perferct, but better than most.
Overall:
Overall, it's a really good deal. This, the Squier Bass Pak, and the Squier Acoustic Pack, are together the best way to start your own little band.
