Sound is all good but if you turn the gain all the way up it stats to buzz but thats all. with the amp you can have Distortion, overdrive with it so you dont need a pedal.

The strap is real small i think it was made for kids cuz you cannot make it that big its real small. the pick are big triangular ones, i like the smaller ones so unless you like really pick picks get some new ones. i know how to use the tuner but i like to use ear better the tuner is ok. The amp is perfect for practicing with. Strings you might have to replace.

I like it the strings are real close to the frets so you dont have to hold down hard.

Nothing lose all good

Good deal the guitar looks nice, but you might wanna get some stickers and put it on cuz it just straight black. you get a awesome deal with this package.

never used it

i love it

am using the amp gtp-10 that comes with the pack, the sound isnt so bad, the distortion is perfect, but ur gonna waste lots of time trying to find the lead sound, but eventually u will find it, it took me 3 days to get the sound i was lookin for, but it made me happy.

i got everything cept for the dvd or cd, but everything was in good shape, the picks suck though, and the cable is kinda short, but its idea for practicing, i got my amp near my pc(practicing area) so i didnt care, everything was great.

well i still didnt try breaking it, but i think its pretty much good

for beginers, u MUST HAVE IT, and i think semi pros can use it 2, but need to change the amp, cuz its only for practicing

sure, i dreamt about it, and got it, now after practice am gonna head for pro guitars, but this one will stay in my collection

The sound is crisp and clear, occasional fret buzz but that can be fixed with some fine tuning. The strings it came with arn't the best, I suggest blue metal strings because they're the best I've ever used and they sound brilliant with this guitar. This guitar has two nobs to control the volume and the tone and a 3 way switch to switch between pick ups. The humbucker is decent and gives you a mediocre sound for playing hard rock. This is defineatly a must have for beginners because it has everything you want for a small price, I don't recomend for advanced players though. The guitar is rock solid and built to last.

This pack came with everything to get you started right out of the box. I was pleased with the quality of the amp. The instructional dvd was very helpful for me and i was playing riffs 5 min after the first time i ever picked up a guitar. The picks and strings it came with sucked so i replaced them for under $10 so nig big deal. I'm not sure what materials were used but the finish is nice and shiny and the rose wood fret board adds a very nice look to it.

Ive had this guitar for quite a while and have put it through a lot of use and it still plays like i just got it out the box. This is by far the best quality your going to get for the price.

I was going to go for a 100 dollar starter pack, thank god i waited. This guitar couldve went for a lot more money.

The company has a reputation for making some strong good sounding guitars and the cheaper versions are no exceptions. I havnt had to get in touch with the company basically because my guitar is still working fine. A cool feature that comes with this product is a free subscription to rolling stone.

The straight black does get kind of boring but im not looking for anything fancy. the way the body is designed its kind of hard to reach the high frets but for a beginner this wont really matter much until you get better.

Its great for my style (rock) mainly beacuse of the humbuckers.I use it with ibanez gtp10 practice amp and it has no feed back which is rare for a begginer guitar.

This guitar came in a pack with a bag,strap,picks,amp .......... It has tune-o-matic bridge,22 fret fretboard,2 humbuckers and mine has a black finish

Ive dropped this guitar a few times and i havent scratched any finish off.The input jack got loose 1 day after i got it but this is only a minor problem.I wouldnt use it without a backup though.

this is a great guitar for the price.I was meant to get a crap ashton but im glad i got this.It also comes with an amp and accesorries so you can play straight from the box

Never had to use it

Out of all the beginner packs i came across,this was the only one which was not a strat ot strat copy which was one of the reasons I bought it.I wanted it coz of the humbuckers too.

It sounds great.you dont have to worry about it being to loud or to low.Its perfect for inside the house or outside.

The accessories are useful.The most useful to me was the tuner.The only thing it needs to improve are the pics.There not bad.There good quality it just needs to have more.

Its made well.There were no loose parts.Its reliable.You may want to worry about something breaking because its a good quality guitar.I worried and took care of it.

Its worth it.

The company was friendly and easy to reach.They solved my problems.

Well if you have a garage band its sex appeal I would give a 10

Excellant sound.

Has only 1 volume and 1 tone control.

Set and ready to go right out of the box. Very nice neck action.

After a few weeks one of the knobs got loose. No other complaints.

Can't beat this price. The amp leaves a certain amount to be desired but the guitar is more than worth it. True, the picks suck--but picks are easy to get. Strap is good.

No reason to ask for support.

Sharp look with glossy black finsih that has a hint of silver metal flake. Classy.

well made guitar especially for the price

Ibanez has great tech support and if there is a defect they will take care of you

i play classic rock like aerosmith and accadacca and the sound is great especially for rythm guitar it beats an epiphone les paul studio by miles

came in a pack so it had a tuner etc. the amp aint the best but it gets the job done well and the bag is kinda dodgy

it was surprisingly good no knobs coming loose and the input jack is still alive very nice

fantastic

never so yeah

nice but the black gets sorta plain

Could be better but a good price for a good product.

You do get alot for your money.

The sound is good but sometimes the strings buzz and the amp is kind of loud when u turn the gain all the way up

It should have a songbook and the picks were crappy. it also should come with a whammy bar

This is real easy to play. I was playing it only a few minutes after i got it out of the box

This is a really pretty guitar and it stays together pretty good

it is a great guitar for the price

i know nothing of the support

it feels good to play, the neck isn't too thick and it has an awesome color

The sound of this guitar is amazing. I thought that a guitar other than a fender would be taking a leap, but I was wrong.

Allof the accessories are handy, but the tuner is a little difficult to use, a prefer a more elaborate chromatic tuner.

This product is very well made. No problems yet, and I am enjoying the quality of my Ibanez.

This product is well worth the value. I have never seen a better deal. A quality guitar, an amp, and accessories.

Haven't had to use support yet.

I wanted it so bad, I bought it!

i think it has a very good sound.

i dont own it but it included the picks the gigbag and that stuff
