"Great guitar, not so good amp"
Completely worth it.
Sound
Amp sounds okay, if you want real overdrive then get a BOSS DS-1 pedal. The guitar sounds great with a decent amp. Clean on the amp is perfect. Sorta screeches when you turn the overdrive and turn it on above 7 on the volume. Amp probably a hazard to the environment.
Features
It comes with the SP-10 amp about 30$. Obviously the guitar, and a gig bag, picks, DVD, strap, and a stand. 5-way switch is useful Comes with a whammy bar. Doesnt come with the headphones. Amp has treble, bass, and volume.
Ease of Use
Easy...........................................yeah
Quality
Made great. I got the white on white works awesome
Value
Great Value
Manufacturer Support
No support needed
The Wow Factor
I would pay twice as much for it. End of story.

Sound
it has a great sound,especially for a begginer guitar.defintly recomend it for begginer player.mine had fret buzz but i adjusted the neck and fixed.also my B string broke after three days bit i put earnie ball super slinky strings.
Features
it has many features.it comes with the strat(i got the black one),a 10-watt amp.i suggest buying another since this one isnt that awsome and it has bad feedback.it also comes with a 10 foot cord,an automic tuner that is ok but if you want a great tuner get a 12-TU tuner for about $70.some pics a dvd that shows you a few basic chords.it also come with a strap but it always comes off.and the package dousnt come with headphones like people say.the box dousnt evan say anything about it.
Ease of Use
prety easy to use,i mean its a guitar.it has a 5-way switch,2 tone knobs,1 volume knob,a wammy bar.it comes out of tune kind of easy especialy when use the wammy bar.

"This isn't extremely rockin, but good and satisfying."
Here is what I would advise you to think about before buying. This is only opinion.
It its important to know that the guitar is made of two different woods and what kinds of wood they are. This will help you find what kind of guitar you want. This guitar consists of an agathis body and a rosewood fret-board. Agathis is believed to exist in the pine family and similar to mahogany. The only difference between mahogany and agathis, is the agathis is said to be the "lazy man's" mahogany meening its cheaper and has less quality. Even though there is that difference, it still plays and sounds great. The fret-board again, is made of rosewood. Rosewood is known for its high velocity sound. It is an average/common guitar wood used for a lot if not most fret-boards on electric guitars. The amp is decent but not an extremely rockin amp. Everything else is okay. This is a good guitar for a beginner or just to practice with. Gigs can be done with this guitar but not common. Most people do gigs with better guitars. This set itself is a great deal and a topselling product at "guitarcenter.com". I hope this has helped you.
Sound
It doesn't play as well a mahogany beacause it's made of agathis, but still has good sound and plays well.
Features
Nothing new, don't use the wammy/tremolo bar to much, it quickly puts the guitar out of tune.
Ease of Use
There are complaints how it needs to be fixed so i'm guessing it's not perfect.
Quality
Not Great quality but satisfying.
Value
It's a good deal. it seems like you got more than promised because of the low price, but you didn't none of the items in the product are perfect as imagined.
Manufacturer Support
Guitar Center is the best store that i know of and they helped me out alot because i just bought this guitar but havent used it yet.
The Wow Factor
Again with the sexy crap... who cares anyone should be glad they have a guitar...

"Moderate guitar for starters."
Verified Customer

It is a moderate guitar, if it is your first electric. I would recomend an actual fender. Also, it does not come with headphones, instead it comes with a stand.
Sound
It has a nice clean strat sound. Distortion, not as good.
Features
The amp had 1 feature(drive) but it is okay, if you are just starting.
Ease of Use
It is a guitar.
Quality
My 3rd down tone knob broke already, and the amp crashed on me.
Value
It was worth the price when I got it, when it was brand ew.

Haven't send it back, probably wont.

Verified Customer

Nothing but problems with this guitar. Not Zzounds fault. But I would never buy one again. It was strung wrong to begin with, the gig bag smelled so bad -even after hanging it out-doors for two days I still could not bring it into the house. Well what do you expect for $200.00. It has a string rattle that even with proper tuning won't go away.If you would like to talk about this my # 320-217-8781. Dave.
