Sound: out of the box the pickups need to be raised so you get a better tone, but once this is done it sounds very good Feature: man this thing is loaded Ease of Use: pretty fast action need to put different strings on it but very easy to play Quality: very well constructed Value: for the price you can't beat it. My friend has a Squire Strat and mine sounds twice as good as his and you get every thing you need to start playing right out the box Manufacturer Support: i have owned for three months and had no problems with it at all The Wow Factor: Hey this guitar is SEXY. When i walked into the music store where i live it stood out in a croud of expensive guitars. It was the first one i noticed i couldn't help my self i was attracted to it and had to have it. Overall: Overall this is a great starter setup. Of course as you get better your gonna want to upgrade so as for the money and quality goes nothing can touch it as far as i am concerned.

Sound: This guitar is a straight up rocker. Nothing too hard rock, but good for most regular rock and, with the right settings, you can modify it for soft rock. Sadly, the amp can kill the sound. The amp overloads a lot, because its only a small little thing, so you can't pull off chords too well and when you try to use power chords with other notes, they all come out blurry and static-y. But with a more sophisticated amp, the guitar could be very good. Feature: The accessories are very nice. The amp, as said isn't very nice, but still for the price is a nice bonus. The amp cable is a given if they give you an amp. I really like the auto-tuner, it helps me out a lot, but it doesn't work very well for acoustic guitars. The picks are just a fun little gift, they are pretty cool and match the guitar well. Ease of Use: It's pretty easy to get a good sound, put volume and tone all the way up on the guitar and tremble all the way and you have a nice rock sound. You can still mess around with the MID, gain, bass, and pickups to get an even more unique sound. I personally like having volume and tone all the way up on the guitar, the pickups set to the farthest down, and having tremble and MID all the way up, with all other settings off. The only thing that makes this guitar a little hard to use the the 'vibro' arm. You have to screw it in, but there are no directions how to use it, or what to do with it. And if your like me, and this is your first electric guitar, this can be confusing. Quality: Not the best quality, but still nice. I don't really worry about anything breaking, except I get nervous sometimes when other people mess around with my guitar's vibro arm. The bridge bends pretty badly, and I just get scared someday it might snap. It hasn't, so it will probably last a while, and I plan on keeping the guitar till it does. Value: For this price, this guitar pack is really good. You can get some professional sounds for chump-change. Manufacturer Support: Don't need it. The Wow Factor: It looks soooo nice, a sleek body, with sexy curves, with a shiny black finish. But some other colors would be nice, and it would be better if the pick guard was a different color. A white pick guard with the texture of the picks your get would look so nice. Overall: This is a real good guitar for a great price. If you are strapped for cash and need a rock guitar quick, BUY THIS.

Back to Product Information
Sound: For the money you can't go wrong with this package. It makes a very nice guitar to haul around with you as well so you don't worry about loosing a prized ax. But, don't buy it if you really think it sounds on par with a real Fender or Gibson, it doesn't. But, it also won't break the bank. Do yourself a favor and buy a good set of light strings to go with it, and change then at least every two months. Feature: The included amp that comes with this package is actually a decent little guy. I prefer adding a few little stomp boxes, but it does the job for practicing. Ease of Use: Ready to go! Quality: All things considered, for the price this is a very nice setup for either practicing, or a new guitarist. But don't get your hopes up that this is somehow on par with a high value guitar. It is what it is. If you are buying a guitar to go on stage with, then you need to save your money and plan on spending about $2500 for a nice Gibson ES and maybe a Fender Twin Reverb or Hot Rod. Value: You can't find a better buy for the money. Manufacturer Support: Zzounds in one word! GREAT! They are the best in my book. Stay away from Musician's enemy. The Wow Factor: I own a different Behringer guitar and amp I leave at my daughter's house for my visits there. Zzound had it there for me in a couple of days. I was pleasantly surprised and happy I bought it over a Mexican Fender. I took a chance and scored! Overall: If you keep everything above in mind, you will be happy with this package. Everything seems to be well made and I don't see replacing it anytime soon. I will probably just give it to my grandson when he gets old enough and is serious about learning how to play.

Sound: I really like the sound overall, when you get it though, you might want to raise the pickups. Great for metal. Feature: guitar, bag, picks, tuner,amp. pretty much all you need, i only give it a 9 because it needs an extra set of strings. my B string broke and the only thing i had to replace it with was a string from my acoustic Ease of Use: if you know how to play, its easy. only complaint is that the i dont get that great of sound from doin hammer ons, but thats more of a user malfunction XP Quality: i think it should a cost more than it did, but im not complaining. Value: for the price, its bloody fricken perfect. i will, one day, get a higher quality guitar when i become better and want more out of it, until then im perfectly happy Manufacturer Support: never had to get the support, and got my guitar in 5 days (nice) The Wow Factor: you just do, whether the price or sexy axe, you just want it

Sound: I would suggest using an electronic tuner to tune each note. No need for any additional parts except maybe get a nice extra set on new strings. The sound is great for being a beginner guitar. Feature: Came with everything I needed and the beginner's cd has been very helpful Ease of Use: Have had no problems with comfort. The shape is sleek and stylish while having great comfort. Quality: The finish and everything came in brand new like I originally brought it. I don't know if this guitar is road ready because it's just a beginner's guitar but it's worth the $150.00 I spent. Value: Value is definently worth. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed any support yet, you don't need to own a guitar to learn how to fix it if need be. The Wow Factor: All black electric guitar and the glossy finish makes it look awesome. Now if they made an optional black neck to go with it too then I would have bought that as well. Overall: Overall I think this was the smartest beginner's buy I've made. Eventually I will save up to get a higher class guitar but this one is great for the time being : )

Sound: The Sound is great! At first, i couldn't figure out the tuner, but after, it sounds very good! Feature: All the stuff that came with the pack is great. i just wish it came with more strings and another amp chord. Ease of Use: This was my first guitar, but it is very easy to learn and the DVD really helps to get started. Quality: The guitar and accessories are good. The finish wasn't great, but over all, good quality Value: Great Value. Manufacturer Support: I haven't needed to call support yet. The company got my guitar here in about a week. The Wow Factor: Great looking guitar. Nice finish and the pearl in the neck makes it even more irresistible Overall: I'll probably replace this guitar when i get good with a more pro-guitar. But it's a great starting guitar and i'll probably keep it for a LONG time.

Ease of Use: when i got the pack, i opened it, then adjusted the guitar, then i played! there are manuals, but i didn't have to use them! Quality: the product is very well made. it doesn't look as cheap as it is! I think this guitar will last forever:) i actually don't have anything to complaine about! the guitar pack is QUALITY!

Overall: I would never replace it, it's my first guitar and I love it! I watched the dvd and it definately works and after you finish the electric guitar section you can also watch the acoustic guitar section and learn a little more!
