Feature:
It does come with everything you need to get started except a quality guitar.

Quality:
This guitar is an awful example of quality control. Let me tell you, I have known 3 people to have purchased this guitar and every one of them have had the exact same problem. The neck is a two peice neck and it snapped in half where the glued the two peices together. All of my acquaitences and I have experienced the same problem. Terrible product, Fender.

Value:
You get a guitar that breaks in two months, a tuner, a peg winder, a dvd, some strings, and a gig bag. You want to pay $200 for THAT? I suggest saving up your money for an Ibanez. That's a quality guitar.

Desirability:
It is a so-so looking acoustic guitar.

Sound:
I was a total beginner when I received this guitar. I thought it sounded good, but upon further comparison I have realized it is a lackluster, dull sound. Very unimpressive.

Ease of Use:
I will give it a 7 under Ease of Use because of the fact it comes with a DVD that teaches you how to play some basic stuff.

Support:
I have dealt with Fender.

Overall:
I am already unsatisfied with this product. It lasted three months. I immediatly bought a $250 Ibanez that blew my mind for the money. It lasted 4 years then was dropped by careless movers from a height of atleast 5 feet off the moving truck. The headstock snapped off. I am currently in the process of saving for an Ibanez Artwood series guitar.

Feature:
It came with everything you need to get started. The tuner is the best tuner I've ever had. I didn't really use the DVD at all because I had lessons/taught myself.

Quality:
I have not had a problem yet. I've bumped it against wall and dropped it here and there but it still sounds great. It survived a 6 hour train trip in a hard case too.

Value:
This is a very good product for the money. Most expensive models that i've seen have had more problems than this one.

Desirability:
Not the most beautiful work of art but I don't really care. It's just your plain, basic acoustic guitar.

Sound:
Very good sound for a cheap acoustic. When others have played it after playing their own, more expensive guitars they were always impressed.

Ease of Use:
The action is a little high but you can adjust it or just learn to play it high. At first my fingers hurt very bad but when they got toughened up I could play for hours. Playing lead parts is pretty hard.

Support:
I haven't had to use the support.

Overall:
I could continue playing this guitar for years and years. Somewhere along the line if I get good enough I may upgrade to a more expensive acoustic-electric but this one works just find for now. This is everything I've wanted and a little bit more.

Feature:
Good features and a great looking guitar!!

Quality:
Replaced bridgepins...equipped elixirs...little elbow grease and TLC and its a great guitar!!

Value:
Look at the price..question answered.

Desirability:
I like the way the guitar looks and its not to over bearing or generic looking...

Sound:
The sound of this guitar will surprise you!! I have been a drummer for 9 years and decided to pick up my acoustic recently and start writing some of my own material..The guitar has an amazing tone and clarity. My buddy plays a 2,000 dollar martin and these two guitars compliment each other very well...I think this guitar sounds better when playing solos compared to my buddy's martin...But the martin has a more fuller sounds when it comes to strumming...Great starter and intermediate!!!

Ease of Use:
Super easy to use...I had let a friend use the guitar and he had it for about a year..in this time the neck became slightly warped, probably due to mistreatment. A little allen wrench work took care of that problem which also took care of the buzzing from the raised strings, due to warping. Keep it dry and in a case and there wont be a prob...

Support:
Never used...

Overall:
Im currenty looking for a good acoustic-electric to add to the arsenal for when I play acoustic shows...Ill keep this one for writing and playing by myself, or as a backup.

Useful extras, the DVD is very clear and easy to understand for a beginner.

Quality:
Shiny, smooth, feels as though it's well made.

Sound:
Even brand new out of the box this guitar keeps it's tuning well. Happily, it's in tune right up the fretboard, and the harmonic is pretty damn perfect.

This is a great package. Plenty of stuff to get started for a low price.

Quality:
The actual guitar is great and the bag and everything else is pretty good but the tuner sucks. Maybe I just got unlucky but it never worked. I returned it 3 times and each one was broken.

Value:
Awesome value

Desirability:
I think it's a great looking guitar. It's got a 'classic' accoustic guitar look

Sound:
good sound, good clarity

Sound:
The sound of this product is fantastic, unfornatly it is extremly difficult to play. The strings were way to high off the frets. I know it is only a 200.00 guitar but you should at least be able to play bar cords fairly easyly up to "B" on the neck. A beginer would easyly give up trying to learn.

Feature:
I just got a Guitar and Hard Shell Case.

Quality:
Given proper care it should last hundreds of years. A boy brought a Gibson Dove into my shop a few weeks ago it had been stored in an attic for several years. When he opened the case it was split right down the middle. It was loose and dry as a bone. This Guitar wasn't well cared for and will cost a small fortune to fix. But it can be fixed.

Value:
Well worth the selling price.

Desirability:
I am not fond of this color and finish.

Sound:
Good sound.

Support:
Yes, I got to talk with a person and they knew somthing about music. That is better than I got with AOL.

Overall:
I have many Guitars and am always looking for the perfict machine. I have maany major brands and stiles and to date my favoriate is Martin D-16 series. Great for sound. Jasmine S-35 Talk about more bang for the buck. $100 dollar Guitar that sounds like a Million. I've played concerts with this one.
