Sound: okay... it's sounds good but the sound "booster" or machine gives a little scratch sound, but it can sound so good, but the little scrath sound is givin' 1 star down. but i give it 7. Feature: okay, good sound, but it doesnt have soooo much effects, and also it has a couple, or els buy some pedals. Ease of Use: okay, it is easy, i give it 9. Quality: the guitar: there is a little scratch sound and that is a sign on the quality is a bit "F¤¤¤¤¤" up.(sorry) The jacksitck: haha, i am so scared for the jackstick will lose the connection between, the sound booster and the guitar. 8 stars. Value: well it was okay, i bought it on an other site but the price is okay. Manufacturer Support: well havent talked with them, dont have to. The Wow Factor: well i dont know, you know i allso wanted a LP or something more "Rock" likely Overall: fine guitar, good quality, no big problems, good sound.

Sound: guitar is fine as far as i know but the amp makes alot of buzzing noise if you try to turn it up even kinda loud. It's really loud unplugged for an electric, its only slightly quieter than an acoustic. Feature: tone knobs are useless if either are less than 10 it just doesnt sound right, volume makes wierd noises if not 10 as well very comfortable to play great great first guitar in my opinion, my friend thinks its really good for the money and the whammy bar that comes with is great fun, tuner doesnt come with a power cord but works real well i just bought a universal adapter for it picks are kinda useless but they're just picks Ease of Use: Very easy to just plug in and play, tuner works really well, analog switches on the amp give great variety, thin gauge strings are easy to play with, easy to tune. I learned really quick with this guitar Quality: when i got it it was flawless. this guitar is very sturdy and i've dropped it like 100 times and its still as if i just got it out of the box. only problem ive ever had is sometimes if i let the guitar sit overnight the thin e string gets out of tune and it takes a couple spins of the tuner to get it back to tune but otherwise its in great condition THE ONLY THING I JUST REMEMBERED WRONG WAS MY FRETBOARD WAS SCRATCHED from the 19th fret to the space after the 22nd fret was beat up a bit I don't know what went on there but my friend noticed immediately and he thought that was pretty lame. that's why i gave it a 7 Value: If you want to try out guitar and need a first one this package is great the amp is pretty good and the guitar is average but it doesn't compare to the jackson king v i recently acquired :] it sounds GREAT Manufacturer Support: I haven't dealt with them, though i wanted to call and complain about packing the tuner without a power cord for it The Wow Factor: It's not the sexiest guitar but its definately got that classical look and it is definately something i wouldn't brag about but its still pretty cool idk Overall: This guitar will probably last me forever but will no longer be played nearly as much because my jackson sounds so beautiful and clear :] But if i ever need a really comfortable guitar (where the king v lacks obviously) i will definately pick it up and play it. Definately a keeper though

Sound: I think the sound is great. The humpbuckers realy help. If you set the amp and guitar up right it will sound like a dream. Thats only what I think though. I don't own any expensive guitars so it might be a bunch of crap to you. Feature: I love using the humpbuckers. I think the pick guard and head stock are the real masterpeices. The headstock has that groove on it and i love it. Ease of Use: Like I said I only own cheap guitars. But I think the neck is realy fast. The pick up selector is real useful. Quality: I just got the guitar and It hasn't had a chance to get beat up yet so I don't know but it seams like a sturdy guitar Value: Good Sound for a good price Manufacturer Support: Never had to deal with them. The Wow Factor: Not my dream guitar but after playing it i liked it. I would prefer a Gibson or a Fender. Overall: Overall it is a good guitar and will work for me. I have a Vtone Guitar Pack and the guitar out of that lasted me two years and still going. I think this one will last longer. I love it but would want a sg or les paul even more

Back to Product Information

Sound: This has okay sound. If you compare it to a bunch of knock off guitars, it has great sound. The humbucker is hot and the other pickups I use for my bluesy stuff. The neck pickup is realy glassy and deep. I think "glassy" is the only word I could think of to describe it. Pick up selector switches nice and smooth. The knobs don't realy do anything, so this guitar probably has either horrible sound pots or bad electronics all together. Don't expect it to be as good as a real stratocaster. Feature: Well...I like the neck alot. Its smooth and has a beautiful piece of rosewood for the fingerboard. I think behringer has out done themselves. They put in pearly dot inlays and a nice gloss finish. Who knew? It looks realy close to a Squier strat or Fender. It has about the same headstock shape except its more squarish. Pretty neat but I'm getting tired of strats now. Ease of Use: The neck is fast and smooth and you can easily change the sound with a flick of a switch. Don't bother with tone knobs though. Like I said, they dont do anything at all. Quality: For behringer it is truly awesome. Compared to other guitars in price range, a lower end guitar. If you look at the V tone pack (which I have too. Unfortuantly) The guitar is plain as crap. But if you look at the El Toro, you see a great lookin knock off strat that is pretty close to the real thing. The pots could be better. The pickups are good. I can switch from hard rock to blues with a simple flick o' the switch. I haven't realy taken time to try Fender strats so I dont know how close it is in playability. Value: Not a great value. You could get a Epi sg or les paul for around the same price. You can get a name brand guitar for this price. If you realy want a strat, for godsakes, get a freakin Squier! Manufacturer Support: Never talked to em. The Wow Factor: NO. Didnt realy want it. I could have sold this thing for 100 or so bucks. I got realy mad that i didnt cause in my music store there was a nice National knock off Les Paul with gold hardware and black paint. Guess how much it was? $130.00! I could have sold this piece of crap for that! Uhhhh! I hate myself:) Overall: Yep. A nice rip off strat with pearl dot inlay, rosewood fretboard and a hot humbucker with a glassy, bluesy neck pickup. Would be a rockin guitar for a beginer though.
