Silvertone SSL3 Electric Guitar Package

Feature:
The amp has a very good quality sound for it size, but if you have been playing for a while one might perfer a BIGGER amp. This one is just fine for a beginner such as myself. You will need to buy a stonger strap and case. The set included in this package are just included to get you started. I haven't used the dvd so no idea of its quality. The included picks are ok. I like the tuner it works just fine to me, I sure as you learn a little more about tuners you might consider a higher end model though.

Quality:
Truth be told this guitar is made by the same company that makes the Epi LP research it if you dare! The finish is very polished, beautiful very easy on the eyes. Its build like a classic car solid and strong.

Value:
I think that the guitar is worth every penny I paid for it, even more. Get em while you can at this price. You will not be sorry in the least.

Desirability:
If this guitar could do the things my wife can do for me she might have something to worry about!

Sound:
The sound is very rich and beautiful! I only rated 9 to keep for offending true LP owners, oh but the truth does hurt doesn't it?

Ease of Use:
After the initial tuning the sound just seems to get better and richer as you play / learn to play.

Support:
I haven't had need for service so I can't speak on this subject.

Overall:
I have one other beauty in my current collection and I do plan to buy others, but none could every replace this one.

Feature:
The amp is fairly good (lots of sound and lots of overdrive distortion for the price), but the rest of the accessories are sketchy. The bag is too small and as thick as a plasic grocery bag -- does not protect the guitar at all other than from dust. However, since it's such a tight fit, the closing zipper can scratch your finish. I bought a nice padded bag for this guitar. The tuner definitely works, but isn't very accurate and sometimes gives erroneous readings -- but you can still tune as long as you're patient with it. The instructional video is awesome for beginners. It's a crash course through the very basics to get you started.

Quality:
For the price, you can't beat the quality of this guitar. I've got no complaints... it's built solidly and attention is paid to fine details. Smooth frets, great finish. I compared it side by side to a comparable Gibson and Epiphone and this fell right in the middle.

Value:
You won't find anything near this price that compares in quality... a must have if you want a less expensive Les Paul without giving up quality or sound.

Desirability:
This guitar is sexy... period. If your girl doesn't like it, dump her because she doesn't know what's good for her. You will have no problem picking up another girl with this axe.

Sound:
Wow, for the price, this is the closest thing you'll get to a real Les Paul. Intonation was dead on out of the box and even after I put in some GHS Boomer 10 strings (comes with 9s). Harmonics are precise. However, I tune with 1/2 step down, so I'm going to need to raise the action a bit to stop fret buzz.

Support:
I gave Samick (company that makes Silvertone) a call a few days ago and they were very quick to respond to my questions. I have not had any problems with their product.

Overall:
Guitar is beyond expectations. Accessories could use improvement -- but a good value for the price because of the above average amp. If you don't need the amp, consider purchasing just the guitar.
